going to Brindisi, Italy on Celebrity. Has anyone hired a guide that would drive them to Alberobella, Italy?

If so I think it is 45 minutes a way. There may also be another town to stop at too. Or is it just worth it to stay in Brindisi for the day?

Brindisi is not so much a"destination port"as a" gateway port," with a really good selection of places to visit in the surrounding area, some closer than others.

 

Alberobello  (note spelling for best internet/CC search results.)  is all about seeing trulli, which is presumably your intention?  We didn't do that as we had seen them numerous times on tv shows.  We did hear other pax saying afterwards that their shorex was a little boring as "if you have seen one, you have seen them all".  and "one house with a pointy roof is much like any other"

 

Other pax went to Lecce and enjoyed that shorex.  There is much about Lecce online and you could read about it  to help you decide whther that could be combined withg the trulli. for a more interesting day as  It has a lot to offer.   it is also quite an easy DIY outing.

 

We would have gone there, but there was a shorex to MATERA, on offer,a truly unique town which has featured in many major films and which we had seen in a tv documentary, so we opted for that one and it didn't disappoint.. It was definitely a unque experience to visit there and there is nowhere else in the world like it.  Do read about MATERA online, also look at images, because if it is an option as a shorex, I would recommend you give it serious consideration..  I think the distance is a little too far for a private tour, at least for us, but ohers have different time/distance limits.
