BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Distances are short, the standing is long
Two or three hours mostly on your feet on hard ground. Comfortable shoes matter more than fitness.
The route is public space
Markets, lanes and places of worship are where people live and pray. Ask before photographing anyone and cover up where others do.
Cash for the small things
Tea, a fritter, an entry ticket. Card acceptance in old quarters is patchy at best.
Ask what the group size will be
A walking tour of six and one of thirty are different products at the same price. It is a fair question.

Puglia and Basilicata done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Would book with them again.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Would send friends their way.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Worth every rupee.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Would book with them again.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would send friends their way.

Questions people ask

Because the whole of Italy is here. Puglia in August is upwards of thirty-five degrees, the coast is solid, and prices roughly double. May, June, September and October are the same landscape without any of that.
