Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1 : Welcome To Bari & Evening Tour To Discover The Beauty Of Bari

Location: Metropolitan City of Bari

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: No Meals

Arrival in Bari on your own. In 14:00 Meet our Tour Leader in your hotel in Bari, the main city of Puglia, and from here start our tour to discover this wonderful region. Walking tour in the afternoon to learn about the city's history and its most relevant monuments. Walk through the charming narrow alleys of the old city center, admire the Basilica of San Nicola where the remains of Saint Nicholas of Myra are preserved and the Norman-Swabian Castle, a 12th century fortress built by Roger the Norman and rebuilt by Frederick II of Swabia. Be amazed by the astonishing view that you can enjoy from the fortress (admission fee for the Castle at own expense). After the visit, reach Piazza Mercantile where you will see the ancient Column of Justice. Dinner and overnight

Day 2 : Discovery Of Bari - Trani "Perla Di Puglia" - Castel Del Monte - Alberobello

Location: Metropolitan City of Bari, Alberobello, Trani, Castel del Monte

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

Breakfast at the hotel, you will head to Trani. Known as "Perla di Puglia" (or the pearl of Puglia), Trani is a medieval town located 53 kilometers (that’s 33 miles) south of Bari. Its Jewish district and the majestic Cathedral will be yours to admire. The latter was built using a local stone, a calcareous tuff characterised by its colour, an extremely light almost-white pink. In the afternoon, the next monument will be Castel Del Monte, the most amazing castle built by Frederick II. It is protected as a World Heritage Site. Its geometric design is unique: it is an octagonal prism with an octagonal tower at each corner. Many mysteries are still unresolved, including the real purpose of the castle. After Castel del Monte, Alberobello is the next stop, the “città dei Trulli”, also protected as a World Heritage Site. Trulli are dry stone huts with a conical roof originally built for storage purposes. They were also permanent dwellings and are called casedde by locals (or little houses). Alberobello is a gem, a true fairy tale place in the heart of Puglia. You will spend the night in a dream hotel, an “albergo diffuso” (one of the network of scattered hotels), and get the chance to sleep in a trullo. Dinner is included. Overnight is in Alberobello

Day 3 : Alberobello - Basilicata - Matera Unesco Heritage Site

Location: Alberobello

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

Enjoy breakfast, a bus will be waiting in a parking lot adjacent to the hotel (200 meters from the Trulli). It will take you to Basilicata, a border region. Welcome to Matera, its capital, “la città dei sassi” (literally the city of the stones), Italy’s own version of Cappadocia in the south of Italy. European Capital of Culture 2019, Matera is a UNESCO Heritage site. Take your time to admire the sassi from different perspectives and overlooks. These cave dwellings inhabited since the Paleolithic period make for the monumental historical center and are connected by a maze of quaint little alleys, which will make you feel like you are catapulted in a real-life nativity scene. The sassi are visually reminiscent of ancient sites near Jerusalem, and so they were a setting to many Christian-themed films, including The Gospel According to St. Matthew (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1964), The Passion of the Christ (Mel Gibson, 2004), and Ben-Hur (Timur Bekmambetov, 2016). A visit to Matera Cathedral is a must. You will return to Alberobello in the evening. Dinner and overnight are in the trullo in Alberobello.

Day 4 : Discovery Of Locorotondo "Borghi Più Belli D’Italia” - Ostuni - Lecce

Location: Province of Lecce, Locorotondo, Ostuni

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

Breakfast in the "square" of the scattered hotel (consider 200 mts from the Trulli. Leave Alberobello by coach and reach Locorotondo. Enjoy some free time to visit this small town that is part of the “white towns” of Puglia. Board on the coach again and travel to Ostuni: located between the “Trulli” region and Salento, overlooks the coastal plain rich of ancient olive trees. Free time at your disposal to explore another “white town” with free time for lunch, shopping and tasting of several local products like the world’s famous Ostuni olive oil (all at your own expenses). In the late afternoon, get again on board of the coach and reach Lecce in the heart of the Salento region. Dinner and overnight.

Day 5 : Lecce “Southern Florence” - Otranto - Dinner At “Masseria Le Stanzie

Location: Province of Lecce, Otranto

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

Breakfast at your hotel, enjoy a 3 hour guided visit of the city, learn the history of Lecce, visit the old town center, the 12th century Cathedral, the Basilica of Sant Croce and Piazza del Duomo. After the visit, board on the coach and leave Lecce. You will reach Otranto where you will have some free time at your disposal for lunch. Spend the afternoon visiting the wonderful city of Otranto at your pace. Over the centuries, the city has been invaded by an impressive number of populations, amongst the others we can find traces of Greek, Roman and Turkish cultures. Wander around the old quarters to see how these cultures have blended together. Don’t forget to visit the iconic Cathedral where the bones of 813 martyrs are displayed in a glass case behind the altar. See its marvelous mosaic floor which rivals the well-known mosaics of Ravenna in its richness and significance. In the early evening, reach Supersano where you will have dinner at the “Masseria le Stanzìe”. Visit this ancient farm, learn about the history and culture of Puglia. See how homemade pasta is made and visit the medieval tombs that are part of the farm. Dinner with typical meals and products from the region. In the night, travel back to Lecce. Overnight.

Thanks for trip memorable.

This trip was way more unbelievable than I anticipated

01-Aug-2020

This trip was way more unbelievable than I anticipated. Honestly one of the best trips of my life. Israel is really such a nice country with so much to see and do! The accommodations were great, the meals were very nice and allowed us to sample each culture’s cuisine. The coach was roomy and kept very clean, and our driver was excellent as well! We were a group of 20 people and our guide always helped to organise the various activities you could do and had tips on where to eat etc. He very knowledgeable about the area and culture and was well known/respected by the locals when we went into different places. He made sure we were always knowing the plan and when we had time for ourselves. I would definitely recommend this tour and will absolutely be using Click Tours again in the future!

Holyland Tour

04-Mar-2020

My girlfriend and I booked this adventure off the advice of a coworker who was born & raised in Israel. I'm still in disbelief that we actually had the opportunity to visit Israel and to walk in the footsteps of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! From the time we landed in Tel Aviv until we left every day was a new adventure. The whole experience was culturally enriching, educational, and fun! I cannot think of a better way to visit so many places all at once. Our guide Mr Erik was an informative , kind, and organised tour leader. He always knew where to go, what time, how to get around, travel tips, and how to organise a large group. Accommodation and food top class. Another trip to Israel for me in the future is a must, to continue my journey into Israel and its wonderful history, people, charm and heritage. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Charles  

Absolutely outstanding

05-Jul-2020

This is the first time we have been to Israel and our tour of the Highlights of Israel with Click Tours was absolutely outstanding. It was the most amazing experience and we would highly recommend this tour. We couldn't be happier. The tour was well organized, everyone and every itinerary item were on schedule. The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, He was on time all the time and very professional in dealing with us. He took care of us and had been patient and responsible. The drivers were safe and courteous. The sights selected for the tour itinerary covered a broad spectrum of the nations history & natural beauty and were just fascinating. We plan on using them again when I return to Israel because once you visit there, I guarantee you will want to return again and again!

Tour was Absolutely fantastic! it was everything I wanted to see. There was a great mix of free time & things to go do. Our guide was superb! He made it all easy to understand, and knowledge of the local areas visited was excellent. He has a great attitude and was a pleasure to tour with. We saw so much and the organization was great, and felt very comfortable and easy to approach for any type of question. If you value history, interesting cultures, great food and warm, friendly people – Go! I highly recommend this tour and company. Thank you very much.

If you are a traveler interested in the local history or culture of the area, or a pilgrim wanting to experience contact with the light, this is a must-see while in Jerusalem.

We enjoyed our tour very much

01-Aug-2020

We enjoyed our tour very much. What we expected, the places we've been dreaming to go. We loved every second of our tour! The Click Tours staff were all warm, funny and approachable. The programme was very well planned giving us a huge variety of experiences. It was a wonderful tour, so fun and so many amazing things to see. We had two excellent guides, We loved they were so knowledgeable and nice. They definitely knows how to guide, inform, entertain, and maintain a good vibe the tour! Both knew how to maneuver to use time to best advantage, knew what to see and what to skip. Highest praise for both! The hotels were all clean and in great locations. Great excursions and a beautiful country. Overall, there is nothing we would change about this tour. Would definitely recommend. Don’t hesitate to book.
