Active Tours

Puglia and Basilicata are both great place to explore and enjoy nature. There are so many hiking trail to choose from and travel from place to place hiking like pilgrims in the Middle Ages is becoming extremely popular. We feel there is a need of taking a break by going into the wild and so we promote experiences to really get in touch with the local environments and its genuine characters.

“Half-Day” tours:

Half-day means a whole morning or afternoon (a max of 4 hours), usually dedicated to explore one or more villages walking around with your tour guide that tells you about the history and the way of living of the locals

“Full-Day” tours:

Full-day means a whole day (a max of 8 hours), usually dedicated to explore more villages. It is a proper day trip where beside understanding a bit more about the villages you will be walking around, your tour guide will tells you more about the general history, many curiosities, traditions and local activities
