Tour Details
These tours are ideal for travellers who have limited time in a destination but still want to experience key highlights or for those who prefer to explore a specific aspect of a place, such as its culinary scene, historical landmarks, or natural beauty. Mini tours offer a convenient way to enjoy a travel experience without the commitment of a longer itinerary. They are also popular as add-ons to longer trips, allowing travellers to customise their experience with specific interests in mind.
Please note this is not small group touring, it is a mix of independent travel and larger group travel with plenty of free time to do your own thing.
*** Please be aware that during the Jubilee Year, certain areas of the Vatican Museums may be inaccessible due to religious ceremonies. Additionally, entrance to St. Peter’s Basilica may also experience unannounced closures. These circumstances are beyond our control. Thank you for your understanding.

After breakfast at your hotel, meet your guide in the hotel* to start a wonderful walking tour. Bari boasts the presence of the Basilica of San Nicola, an important example of Apulian Romanesque architecture. This church is included amongst the most important places of worship in the world, where Catholic and Orthodox worships blend together.
Bari “Vecchia” is also really characteristic, where time seems to have stopped: women who every day, seated outside their houses, prepare the typical orecchiette (local pasta), children playing in the street, laundry hanging in the sun and the disarming congeniality typical of inhabitants of Bari.
And what about the focaccia barese? It’s hard to resist the aroma… Do not worry! You will taste it 😉
Rest of the day at your own total disposal.
Overnight stay.

After breakfast at your hotel, meet your guide in Porta san Biagio and starts the panoramic walking tour strolling through the streets of this beautiful city where you will admire the Apulian Baroque art, discovering churches and monuments. Elegant and refined, Lecce is one of the most appreciated cities of art in Southern Italy.
Here the Baroque style predominates and takes on a local connotation, the “Leccese Baroque”. This style is characterised by the fine stonework in Lecce stone and not by lavish gold decorations. The façades of churches and historic buildings seem modeled by skillful hands.
Strolling through the old town you will admire showcases of craft shops: from papier-mâché masters to the local pastry-making. You will taste a delicious local specialty in one of this local bakery: the “pasticciotto”, a pastry filled with custard cream.
Rest of the day at your leisure.
