Puglia

Set right on the heel of Italy, the Puglia region exudes the authentic charm of Italy in days-gone-by. Still largely undiscovered by tourism, it is Italy's hidden gem. Puglia does not boast the grand art museums, regal villas, or fancy gardens of the North - rather this is Italy at its most rustic and real. But with 400 km of secluded coastline, whitewashed hill-top towns, olive groves and vineyards, Puglia still has plenty to boast about. On this tour, you will discover its UNESCO-listed architecture, rustic, flavourful food and sun-scorched landscapes and beaches, with the help of a knowledgeable tour guide all the way.

Entry Requirements 

You must ensure you have a valid passport to travel on.

The UK Government has published a website tool to check the validity of your passport under these rules: https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/check-a-passport
