Overview

In just an hour you can visit the most interesting places in the old town and in the Umbertino village. Our slogan is "the best way to visit the city of two seas". In fact, it often happens that you are just passing through our capital, you stop only for a few hours, a fleeting meal and you are disappointed to have noticed a beautiful city but that for reasons of time we did not linger as it would have deserved because the territory is quite extensive, what better opportunity then to speed up everything by spending a pleasant hour letting yourself be guided aboard a nice Calessino bee? Seeing is believing.

Loved this tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Ty we loved this tour! It gave us a good introduction to Taranto. Our tour guide was outstanding and Iā€™m so sorry that I donā€™t know her name. We learned about the history and culture of this historical Seaport town. The overview was very helpful..

Tuck tuck only way to travel

Published on Aug, 2024

A different way to see Taranto.

Published on Aug, 2024

You are taken on an interesting historical, and site seeing tour of Taranto much quicker that if you tried to cover the points of interest on foot by yourself. The tour is informative and the guide knowledgeable. However, the Ape Calessino we travelled in was in need of maintenance, seat belts needed attention. But its size ment you could easily weave in and out of the busy Taranto traffic! The company tended to leave it last minute to inform us of our booked time and we did not receive our pre booked arrival time, as I'd switched my phone to flightmode.

A different way to site see Taranto.

Published on Aug, 2024

You are taken on an interesting tour of Taranto, visiting a mixture of historical and site seeing venues. The ageing Ape Calessino we toured in was in need of a little maintenance, seat belts were not that brilliant, but managed to weave itself in and out of the heavy traffic that clogged the streets on that particular day. Only criticism was that the company left it too late in informing me of my booking time, I'd switched to flightmode on my phone and didn't receive the allotted arrival time until I switched flightmode off when I returned to the UK! They should sent the message much sooner than on the day of the trip.
