Customer Reviews
We ( a group of 3 women) booked our transportation with Puglia Private Tours for our 8-day Puglia trip in Oct 2025. We stayed 4 nights in Ostuni and 4 nights in Bari. From start to finish, the service and flexibility provided by the drivers (Carlos, Andrea, Fabrizio) were simply exceptional. All drivers were very professional, courteous, and very helpful with local recommendations (weather readiness, grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, etc). Cars were very clean and very comfortable. Prior to booking our trip, Fabrizio (owner of the company) worked with us via emails and a few phone calls to help finalize our daily itinerary and airport transfers and provide estimates. His pricing is reasonable and worth it. Fabrizio also doubled as our guide in Matera - a must-see and with Fabrizio - it was such a fun experience. Special shout out to Fabrizio for helping us find and bubble wrap the Papale 2021 red wine bottles for us to take back to US (while we 3 were enjoying our lunch and spritz leisurely at a scenic restaurant in Matera)!!! Go Puglia Private Tours for your next vacation in Puglia!
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Puglia Private Tours! From start to finish, they made our entire trip seamless and stress-free. Transportation was unbelievably convenient-every pickup was perfectly timed, and each transfer felt effortless, allowing us to simply enjoy the beauty of Puglia without worrying about logistics. Our guides were outstanding. Not only were they deeply knowledgeable about the region’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but they brought everything to life with engaging stories and genuine passion. Each stop felt thoughtfully curated, and we learned so much along the way. A special thank you to Fabrizio, who went above and beyond even before our trip began. He was always willing to answer any and all questions—quickly, kindly, and thoroughly. His responsiveness and attention to detail made planning feel easy and gave us full confidence that we were in great hands. I can’t recommend Puglia Private Tours highly enough!!
Fabrizzio was attentive, responsive and very clear and courteous since the first message. He explained every single detail of the itinerary, catering to our needs to include activities, locations, times and prices. I have contacted 4 touristic operators in Puglia, but what I liked the most about Puglia Private Tours was the flexibility and lack of rigidness. Fabrizzio offered different choices, and we did choose what we were most interested on. He did not impose a strict itinerary; he tailored a personalized itinerary for us. Everything was wonderful, pick-up times at our Airbnb were on time, the information was very rich and made the visit very pleasant. Fabrizzio communicated fluently in English, Spanish and Italian (helping me practice my rusted Italian learned in school). All our questions were answered and the cherry on the cake was his restaurant recommendations. All of them were in a different level of deliciousness. I do recommend Puglia Private Tours to other tourists who not only want to enjoy the wonders of Puglia but also to have a positive person with a great energy guiding you through this adventure. Thanks Fabrizzio, for such a great experience…you surpassed by far our expectations!
