History
There have been traces of carriages since antiquity, important evidence of which was found in Pompeii during the latest excavations, but it was not until the 1600s that this splendid means of transport was used to explore ancient Europe, when the era of grand tours began and continued for more than two centuries. 
Nobles, rulers and European intellectuals set off in their own carriages or with carriages that provided public transport, to visit Europe, from Goethe to Giuseppe Principe di Belmonte: the first intellectual recounted his journey from Munich to Palermo in a carriage, as did the second Sicilian nobleman, who was an able politician as well, makimg a grand tour reaching Switzerland, visiting the Empire, Hungary, Poland, reaching Kiev, England, France and then returning home.   
Travelling by carriage stimulated the traveler's imagination as it allowed him to capture all the nuances and differences he encountered along the way, so it was not a mere transfer, but a continuous discovery of the places he crossed.   
This means having the opportunity to experience the same emotions felt by princes, princesses and men of high rank while enjoying the flow of the road accompanied by the shuffling of horses' hooves in tune with the rolling of the iron wheels. 
Southern Italy has been the destination of many people from northern Europe, in search of the ancient civilization of which there are so many testimonies, but also in search of long days with pleasant temperatures, of good food and wonderful landscapes. 
There are so many reasons why we can offer the visitor a coach trip that can be of one day, as well as a whole week and even longer, crossing territories rich in history, where nature is at its best, while enjoying world-famous cuisine. 
Apulia, like Basilicata, Molise, Campania, Calabria and Sicily are the places of our tours from the Itria Valley tour, to the journey from Taranto to Santa Maria di Leuca, or from Castel del Monte to Melfi up to Matera. 
Land kissed by the sun, surrounded by unique landscapes, staying in ancient “masserie” (typical country settlements) or noble palaces, not as tourists but welcomed by families as guests. 
With this spirit we welcome on our carriages friends who want to live in contact with nature, discovering the surroundings accompanied by experts of the territory to learn about its history, customs and traditions.
