Discover Splendid

Puglia

A private tour with AndiamoLinda & YLTours DMC (Forbes Magazines Best of Puglia)

DEAR FRIENDS,

    There is no country I enjoy travelling in as much as Bella Italia! I have been there many times over the past thirty years and each time I come home I can’t wait to return! I am passionate about the food, the language, the art, the style, and every aspect of their culture.

 

    Each area of Italy possesses its own regional cuisine and distinctive cultural influences. Our trips are designed to provide you with an in-depth experience studying the cuisine, art, architecture, geography and of course the personality and traditions of the local people. We will visit the towns and villages, beaches and unique cities of the area.

 

Our small group tours are stylized to offer you a superior experience - each day we will offer a cultural/culinary opportunity for you but you will also have time to enjoy leisure activities as well. We can accommodate and make arrangements for anything you might like to do-biking, yoga, massage, more shopping (!) or just relaxing poolside.

 

Come and join us - Explore. Dream. Discover.

 

Baci,

Linda

CIAO!
WHY PUGLIA?

    This trip has been designed to immerse in the local culture. Every day you’ll explore a part of the region and discover its incredible beauty: architecture, sacred sites, characteristic historic towns, food and wine, locals. Yet you’ll have plenty of free time to relax and explore on your own and enjoy the unique indigenous lifestyle.

​

    In this itinerary, we have included the very best of Puglia, through places where you can truly get the real feel of the region, staying in lovely places and exploring with expert local guides.

 

    There’s an austere beauty to Puglia. A holiday in Puglia is a great pleasure. It’s a magic puzzle of beauties where you get lost. It is that special beauty that makes it clear that you are absolutely nowhere else.
