Trulli are small stone houses without windows, or with a small and simple window in a square or rectangular shape. The color of the houses is white (i.e. whitewashed) with a gray cone roof, which originally light has darkened due to atmospheric agents.

One of the highlights of our visit to Southern Italy was our e-bike tour of the Valle D'itria with Martino. There are many valuable aspects of the tour, not the least of which Martino’s sunny disposition and convivial attitude that perfectly matches the environs. In addition, Martino will furnish you with well-maintained e-bikes that make the ride through the gorgeous landscape of the Valle D'itria fun and joyful. The e-bikes can be calibrated to allow for as much or as little physical peddling s you would like. Martino is very attentive to your safety at all times and is also quite happy to accommodate whatever desires for the itinerary that you might have. In our case, we had already visited the usual stop of the towns of Locorotondo and Alberobello, so Martino adjusted the route to accommodate our wish to see more of the magnificent countryside.John_P

The Tour said that it would include 1) Helmets which were not provided; 2) A lesson on safety and accident prevention which was not provided; 3) The tour would be guided which it wasn't. No guide accompanied us biking; 4) Lunch will be provided but it wasn't. There was a very small snack (four olives, handful of dried fava beans); 5) We were provided an app for us to use to find our way around on the tour on our own. Since this wasn't shared in advance we did not know how it worked. Further, if there is no mobile coverage or a battery dies there is no map or way of knowing how to proceed. This happened and we had to revert to using google maps on our own with the other person's mobile. I would highly recommend the Viator review the thoroughness of the offerings of their selected tour providers.
