Ostuni and Alberobello in One Day from Brindisi Port: €260 Private Tour

When your cruise ship docks at the Port of Brindisi, you have the perfect chance to visit two of Puglia's most iconic destinations: the "White City" of Ostuni and the UNESCO site of Alberobello. Our private shuttle service offers a 7-hour tour for €260 per vehicle (up to 8 people), providing a stress-free alternative to crowded shore excursions with a guaranteed timely return to the pier.

The Itinerary: From Costa Morena to the Heart of Valle d'Itria

Upon disembarking, your professional driver will be waiting at the cruise terminal exit (Costa Morena or Sant'Apollinare) holding a sign with your name. The drive to Ostuni takes approximately 45 minutes. You will leave the industrial landscape of the port behind and quickly find yourself surrounded by the ancient olive trees that define the Apulian landscape.

In Ostuni, you will have about 2 hours to explore the labyrinthine white alleys of the old town. Don't miss the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the breathtaking views from the city walls overlooking the sea. After your visit, we will depart for Alberobello, a 70-minute drive through the rolling hills of the Valle d'Itria, dotted with vineyards and stone walls.

Alberobello: The Magic of the Trulli

Once in Alberobello, you can explore the Rione Monti and Aia Piccola districts. With over 1,500 trulli (conical stone houses), it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. You will have plenty of time for photos, a quick lunch, or a visit to the Trullo Sovrano, the only two-story trullo in town. Since this is a private tour, you set the pace, not a tour guide with a megaphone.

The return journey from Alberobello back to Brindisi Port takes roughly 70 minutes via the highway. We meticulously plan our departure to ensure you arrive back at the terminal at least 90 minutes before your "all aboard" time. Reliability is our core value, ensuring you enjoy your day without checking your watch every five minutes.

Why Choose Private Transfer Over Cruise Line Excursions?

Booking a cruise line excursion often costs between €80 and €100 per person. For a group of 4 to 8 people, the cost becomes prohibitive. Our private van service costs a flat rate of €260 for the entire vehicle. For a group of 8, that is only €32.50 per person—a fraction of the price of the ship's bus.

Beyond the cost, the experience is vastly superior. You won't waste time waiting for 50 people to board a bus or use the restroom. We provide door-to-door service, picking you up and dropping you off as close to the pedestrian areas as possible. Plus, our vans are air-conditioned, modern, and driven by locals who know the fastest routes to avoid traffic.

Practical Tips for Your Day in Puglia

Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as both Ostuni and Alberobello have stone-paved streets and some inclines. For lunch, if you are in Ostuni, try a 'puccia' (local bread) or a platter of capocollo and burrata. In Alberobello, many trulli have been converted into charming shops and cafes where you can sample local wines. Remember to keep an eye on the time, though your driver will always be there to remind you of the departure schedule.

Full Pricing Transparency and Inclusions

The price of €260 is fixed and includes everything: VAT, fuel, road tolls, and the driver's waiting time. There are no hidden fees. We use high-quality sedans for up to 4 passengers and spacious 9-seater vans for groups of 5 to 8 people. Child seats are always available upon request at no extra charge to ensure the safety of your little ones.
