Puglia Reviews

“We had always wanted to visit Puglia, one of the lesser-known regions in Italy. We really didn’t know much about it. Since we prefer to not have to drive in Italy, we needed to be with a group that could provide transportation as well as some knowledge about Puglia. We wanted to learn about and experience the local cuisine, the wines, the olives. We found everything we wanted in one of the La Storia Travel’s tours.

We were a group of six, a perfect size. Spending time together cooking, eating, drinking, laughing…lots of laughing, and exploring the area made us become friends with each other and with our hosts. It was more than just a vacation, it was truly an experience to cherish and share forever.”
— Carol & Gary Agia
“My husband Rob and I thoroughly enjoyed our adventure to magical Puglia! Betsy and Rita put together a fabulous itinerary. From breathtaking sites to wonderful cooking lessons, it was a once in a lifetime experience!”
— Connie & Rob Manley
Knowledgeable guides, you got to see places not on usual tour routes, friendly guides as well.
Wish there was an 11, Federica, our guide, was fabulous and I couldn’t press 10.
Naples had a very cool vibe, loved walking around. Everything, was my favorite part of trip!
— Harrison McInnis
I have to say that this trip to Italy (my first) was way beyond my wildest dreams. We were a small group of 4 along with Betsy. She booked places that would not be seen on a regular tour.
Flawless, smooth touring. The food, the lodging and tours were perfect.
I saw places I have studied about and some hidden gems that I didn’t even know they existed
— Carole Gallagher
