VIP Walking Tour of Alberobello

Discover the fairytale landscape of Alberobello on this charming private tour that includes the trulli.

The UNESCO World Heritage Trulli district in Alberobello is one of Puglia’s most popular attractions, and you can discover the best of the district on this private tour.

Alberobello’s trulli are limestone dwellings that date back to the 14th-century. With their whitewashed walls and conical roofs, they create a fairytale-like atmosphere in the town that you can enjoy on this private walking tour. The tour begins in Rione Monti, the heart of the trulli district, where you can stroll through the narrow lanes and stop for souvenirs, while seeing some fine examples of trulli architecture. The tour then continues to Via Monte Michele to see Chiesa di Sant’Antonio, Alberobello’s 20th-century trullo church.

You will then move on to Alberobello’s second trulli district—the quiet residential Aia Piccola, which is less frequented by tourists. Here, you will have plenty of time to see more examples of trulli architecture before concluding your tour with a visit to the 18th-century Trullo Sovrano, the largest trullo home. This two-storey building houses an excellent history museum and is decorated with period fittings illustrating Italian life in the 1700s.

This tour includes: Private guide – Entry tickets – Hotel pick-up from Lecce (if required)

About Alberobello

Alberobello is a fairytale-like town in Italy’s southern Puglia (Apulia) region. It is famous for its charming “trulli”, which are limestone huts with unique conical roofs that are thought to date back to the 14th century. There are several trulli districts to discover in Alberobello, each sharing different styles and unique features. One of the most popular attractions is Trullo Sovrano, which is a two-storey trulli from the 18-the century, but the smaller trulli are just as charming. Consequently, Alberobello itself has become an important archaeological site, with numerous discovered tools and furniture on display at Museo del Territorio Casa Pezzolla.
