About this tour
Rattle through Polignano a Mare in a restored Ape Calessino, a quirky three-wheeled Italian classic. This 30-minute private tour weaves past Port'Alga's fishing boats and into the town's tight medieval lanes, finishing at Domenico Modugno's statue with views across the Adriatic. It's the kind of transport locals once used to move goods—now it moves you through layers of coastal charm without the crowds of a minibus.

What to expect
You'll board a lovingly restored Ape Calessino—a boxy three-wheeler that once delivered mail and produce across southern Italy. The driver navigates narrow stone streets where cars can't fit, offering glimpses into courtyards and shuttered windows. The tour calls at Port'Alga where actual fishermen still moor boats, then climbs through the historic centre's tight lanes. At Modugno's statue, you pause to take in the rocky shoreline and Adriatic horizon. The vehicle is open-sided, so wind and sea air are part of the ride.
