Introducing Ostuni
Ostuni is one of Puglia’s most popular destinations. It is picturesque, historic and has a vibrant bar and restaurant scene.
A central location means that the rest of Puglia is very accessible from the city making Ostuni the perfect base to explore the rest of our region.
It is also the base of our Puglia Guys’ city HQ.
Ostuni has a number of tuk tuk tour companies in Ostuni. Like Gigi and Jeff we chose Golapa Ape Calessino Ostuni.
Golapa use electric tuk tuk golf carts rather than gas guzzling Ape that buzz around the old town. And they have David 5-Star, Ostuni’s favorite tuk tuk guide (earning his name from the number of 5 star Tripadvisor reviews he has been given ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️).
David’s tour was packed with interesting facts, many of which were new to us. He showed us some hidden fascist graffiti we had never noticed. We learned why the doors of Ostuni’s old town are the colors they are and the size they are. David pointed out Ostuni’s smallest door as well as taking us to Puglia’s most famous door…
Full guided 30-minute tours, with stops for photographs, will cost around 30€ per person for 2, 20€ per person for 3, etc..We paid for our tour and also tipped David 5 -Star for his 🔝 tour service. Feel free to do the same.
Be sure to ask for David 5-Star to drive you around Ostuni - and tell him we told you so!
