Go Ahead Tours Unveils New Tour of Puglia & Southern Italy

Go Ahead Tours Unveils New Tour of Puglia & Southern Italy











Matera, Italy


Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) August 09, 2011

Go Ahead Tours is proud to announce a 12-day tour of Puglia, a little-known travel destination located on the heel of Italy’s boot. Puglia has long been a favorite getaway for European vacationers, but the region has historically escaped the notice of American travelers. Travelers can depart for a tour of Puglia & Southern Italy as early as March 2012. This tour also visits Naples and Sorrento, and travelers can add to their time on tour with our two-night extension in Rome.

Puglia & Southern Italy—12 days from $ 2,299 including airfare

Located on the Adriatic Sea, Puglia’s white sand beaches offer unblemished Mediterranean seascapes, but without the crowds typical of the French and Italian Rivieras. Sightseeing highlights of this tour include the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Castel del Monte and the Basilica of St. Nicholas in Bari. Puglia is also notable for its architecturally distinct dwelling, including the 9,000-year-old stone homes of Matera and the rustic trulli of Alberobello, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

For those who travel to Italy in search of fine food and wine, Puglia’s rich coastline offers a wide variety of fresh seafood including oysters and mussels, and the region has historically served as Italy’s breadbasket. More olive oil is produced here than anywhere else in Italy, most restaurants offer their own time-honored take on orecchiete con le cime di rapa, (orecchiete with broccoli rabe, Puglia’s favorite pasta) and deep-fried, custard-filled zeppole serve as the region’s signature dessert. Travelers on this tour will enjoy five included traditional dinners featuring regional delicacies

“Puglia’s beautiful coastline, historic towns and abundant, flavorful cuisine made it a great fit alongside our other tours of Italy,” said Christy Waller, Go Ahead’s Vice President of Marketing & Analysis. “More than the sites and the food, though, Puglia’s tourist economy isn’t quite as built up as in other parts of Italy, which will allow our travelers to connect with the locals and see Puglia through their eyes. We’re always on the lookout for secluded destinations, and we think our travelers will enjoy discovering a side of Italy they may not have experienced before.”

Wine Lovers Tours Announces Two Italian Wine Tours to Southern Italy in Fall 2009

Wine Lovers Tours Announces Two Italian Wine Tours to Southern Italy in Fall 2009











Offering Fall Wine Tours to Sicily and Puglia


New Haven, Conn. (PRWEB) April 29, 2009

Wine lovers and tourists looking for a wine tour of Southern Italy, the beacon for the Italian wine industry, now have two new touring options from Wine Lovers Tours: Puglia and Sicily. All of the major players in Tuscany and Piedmont have established, or are in the process of establishing, wineries in Italy’s meridian, and with the addition of these new destinations, wine aficionados can experience not only the Italian wines, but the landscape and culture where they are created.

“Puglia and Sicily epitomize what we love to do on our tours: combine wine, food and culture,” said Vin Marottoli, President of Wine Lovers Tours. Visits to Puglia’s Baroque gems in Lecce will be combined with unique winery visits and culinary experiences chosen to highlight local cuisine.

And Sicily’s Greek ruins are the perfect backdrop to a stage of wine and food visits. There are few regions in Italy that can match what Puglia and Sicily offer for wine, food and culinary experiences at such great value.

Each tour features 8 nights and breakfast and lunch or dinner each day. The Puglia tour will spend 4 nights in Bari and 4 nights in Lecce. Sicily will feature 3 nights in Palermo, 2 in Agrigento, 1 night in Siracusa and 2 nights in Taormina.

Some of the highlights in Puglia will be visits to the unique trulli of Alberobello and the Baroque splendor of Lecce. And Sicily offers Greek ruins that rival anything found in Greece.

The word value needs to be emphasized. The all inclusive Italy wine tour costs are among the lowest in the industry featuring top hotels, VIP visits and superb meals.

Vin’s wine tours are intended for people who don’t normally like group tours. “We try to create an atmosphere of a family or group of friends traveling together,” said Marottoli. Over 80% of his tour participants come back, so he must be doing something right! The “secret” is well-organized unique visits that combine wine, food and culture at an all inclusive cost.

Vin Marottoli of Wine Lovers Tours has over 25 years experience organizing and leading wine tours to the world’s most popular wine destinations. Vin has a Ph.D. in French and is fluent in French, Spanish and Italian.
