We had a great experience. Our guide was fantastic, full of energy and passionate about the places, the history, the environment. He took us through the Parco Murgiano and Chiese rupestri and then the Ponte Tibetano taking us on a journey through geography, geology and history! We really enjoyed it and will recommend it to friends and family!
