Premium Puglia is a wonderful introduction to the major towns of Puglia including interesting rural activities such as an olive oil farm and a winery owned and managed by women.

The Premium Puglia trip was such a fantastic way to spend my birthday! It was great to finally be in Italy and visit a region that many people are not yet familiar with. The itinerary Intrepid curated was terrific. Making this trip independently, with all the logistics and wonderful day trips we experienced, would be challenging. The properties we stayed at were exceptional and felt very premium! Our Intrepid tour leader, Walter, was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. I am ready to go again!

Our Premium Intrepid experience to Sicily and Puglia was excellent! So good to visit historic, new and unknown places with knowledgeable guides and know that accommodation and most meals were all sorted. We had fun and enjoyed every minute.

We had a wonderful first trip to Italy with Intrepid travel. Our tour to Puglia region was a great introduction to this wonderful country and people. Our tour leader, Desire, really made the trip enjoyable with her excellent leadership and organisation as well as her obvious love of Puglia and everything associated with that region.

I recently completed the Premium Puglia trip with Intrepid Travel. It was an awesome experience. I knew very little about this region and walked away with a
wealth of knowledge and appreciation for this area of Italy. The history, food, wine and beauty of this region did not disappoint. Matera was fascinating . Our tour leader,Vincenzo, was the best!!! His knowledge, enthusiasm and leadership was exceptional.

The Puglia Premium Adventure, with our guide V, was a wonderful experience.. Appreciated learning more history and about the previous inhabitants. . Had the opportunity to see a 3,000 year old olive tree, taste wonderful food, olive oil and wine; and be initiated to Jefferson. Met wonderful new friends and loved the overall experience with dear friends.
