E-bike tour in Ostuni. Oil mill, Dolmen and huge olive trees
Best for: Travelers who want an easy-paced outdoor ride with olive-oil tasting and a short cultural stop.
This experience suits travelers who want to spend a few hours outdoors rather than sit on a transfer tour. You can bring your own e-bike or arrange one on site for an extra local payment, and the route stays on rural roads and easy paths at a comfortable pace. The outing combines scenery and light activity with a visit to the Montalbano Dolmen, a short walk along the Via Francigena, and a guided stop at a traditional olive oil mill. The included tasting adds a practical food-and-craft element, while bottled water and a tour escort help keep the ride straightforward.

Compare this with the e-bike option if you prefer more places over more activity.
From Brindisi. Ostuni, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare Tour
Best for: Travelers who want to see several Puglia towns in one day without managing the driving.
This full-day tour is designed for visitors who want a wider look at the region without planning separate transport. You travel by air-conditioned minivan with an English- and Italian-speaking tour leader, and the format leaves free time in each place rather than focusing on a single guided activity. The itinerary covers Ostuni, Locorotondo, Alberobello, and Polignano a Mare, so the day is more about moving between towns and exploring their centers at your own pace. A notable practical detail is the drop-off choice at the end, which can be in Brindisi or Lecce. Lunch is not included.
From Brindisi, Ostuni, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare tour
- Visits three different towns in one itinerary.
- Uses an air-conditioned minivan with a professional driver.
- Includes drop-off in either Brindisi or Lecce.
Compare this with the countryside ride if you want an outdoor activity without diving.
Guided dive for certified divers
Best for: Certified divers who want a guided dive experience near Brindisi with equipment included.
This option is for travelers whose ideal day in Brindisi involves being underwater rather than touring on land. The experience is centered on a guided dive near the bay of Brindisi, with qualified instructors accompanying the activity and helping manage the dive. The setup includes preparation at the meeting point before heading out by boat, and SCUBA equipment is provided. Because it is a specialized activity, it is the most focused of the three experiences and works best for certified divers looking for a guided session rather than a sightseeing transfer. Bottled water is included; snacks are not.
Guided dive for certified divers
- Includes use of SCUBA equipment.
- Guided by qualified instructors.
- Provides bottled water during the activity.
How to choose an itinerary style around Brindisi
Pick the e-bike option if you want a shorter, active outing with a food-focused stop. Choose the minivan tour if you prefer to see multiple towns in one day, or the dive if your priority is a guided water activity rather than land sightseeing.
Ride-based countryside route
You move by e-bike through olive groves, dry-stone walls, and nearby countryside, with brief walking and tasting stops built in.
Multi-town minivan circuit
You travel by road between several towns, with time to explore each place independently rather than joining one focused activity.
Boat-based dive activity
The day focuses on dive preparation, boat access, and a guided underwater session near the bay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which option is best if I only have a few hours?
The guided dive and the e-bike tour are the shorter choices. The dive is the most specialized, while the e-bike ride gives you a broader countryside experience with tasting and a short walking stop.
Which option is most suitable if I do not want to drive?
The minivan tour is the most straightforward for travelers who want transportation handled for them, since it moves between several towns in an air-conditioned vehicle with a driver and tour leader.
Do these experiences include the same kinds of activities?
No. One is a bike-based countryside outing, one is a multi-town road tour, and one is a guided scuba dive. They fit different interests, energy levels, and comfort with activity.
