    The walking tour in Monopoli was an unforgettable experience. The tour guide showed us the most beautiful places in the city, with interesting stories and details. The wine tasting was exceptional: the sommelier passionately explained the characteristics of Apulian wines, making each sip special. A perfect balance of history and taste, I highly recommend it!
