Cultural and Scenic Tour of Puglia
Enjoy a relaxing week in Puglia, the ‘heel of Italy’, with a range of visits and gastronomic events, on this small group cultural and scenic tour of Italy. Puglia is more densely populated by olive trees than by people; it has a relaxed atmosphere, sunny climate and rolling countryside. This trip offers the perfect balance of culture, food and the Adriatic coastline.

- Alberobello – The beehive-shaped trulli houses that are unique to Puglia and enjoy a wine tasting
