22nd June 2023Review ratingThe tour followed the itinerary as expected. Slow start in Naples and Bari, but built a strong finish from there.

21st May 2023Review ratingOur tour guide did not seem very animated about the Italian way of life . Our next Backroads tour , of Southern Italy BRA24919, had Annalisa , as our tour guide , and she was so much fun. Helped us make the most of our holiday .

18th May 2023Review ratingShould have had more time to explore matera and lecce. Should not use hotels that are out of town eg bari. Could have had less time in gallipolli.
