What is the best time to book activities in Apulia?

Book early, especially for popular experiences like boat tours and cooking classes, as they often sell out—especially during peak season (May to September). Many activities offer free cancellation, so you can secure your spot now and adjust later if needed.

How do I choose between half-day experiences in Apulia?

Consider your interests: food lovers will enjoy a cooking class or street food tour, while adventure seekers might prefer a boat tour with snorkeling. Check ratings and reviews—top-rated options like the Polignano a Mare boat tour and the Bari street food tour are consistently praised. Also, think about location and duration to fit your itinerary.
