The tour usually ends in Piazza Plebiscito recognizable by the clock tower. At that point you should have an Italian coffee or some ice-cream.
Private tour to Ostuni
Ostuni is also known as “the white city” because of its whitewashed houses. What makes our guided tours in Ostuni such a memorable experience are the knowledge that our local guides share with you about its Cathedral and the picturesque old town while leading you through its narrow streets with its many small shops, typical products, bars and restaurants. Let Puglia Private Tour create a tailor-made vacation for you including a visit of Ostuni. Why don’t you come on August 26th to celebrate the city’s patron feast in the honour of St. Oronzo together with Ostuni’s inhabitants. During the visit we will admire Piazza della Libertà (the main square) with the column of St. Oronzo and St. Francis Church, the magnificent cathedral, some aristocratic palaces, ancient walls and gates of the city, the maze of white streets, where you can visit many artisan workshops and shops showcasing quality local handcrafts, a terrace from which you enjoy the breathtaking views of the countryside with ancient olive groves that slope towards the sea. Of course, you could also choose one of the day tours that we recommend for people who stay at our partner hotels in Bari.
