Castellana Grotte tour

Visit Castellana Grotte

The Castellana caves in Castellana Grotte are an unmissable opportunity to witness the natural beauty of the karst phenomenon, very widespread in Puglia. Descending into the caves you can catapult yourself into rocky and tortuous abysses, punctuated by concretions with incredible shapes and colors, stalactites and stalagmites that grow about 1 cm every 50 years and that give the place a magical and fairytale aura. In the area there are several caves: in Castellana, in Putignano, near Alberobello.

About the tour

There are two possible tours of your choice:

– the caves of the Castellana area where PlacenPeople organizers can accompany you to the entrance, but subsequently it will be necessary to pay an entrance price and rely on a local speleologist;

– the particular caves of the trulli in the Putignano area, where it is possible to go directly into the caves with the guide organizer, equipped with tracksuits and other gear provided by him (here are all our tours in the caves in Puglia).

Costs

• STANDARD PRICE: the participation fee for this tour is € 30 per person with a minimum of 2 people. The activity of the guide is included in the cost, while anything else is excluded (snacks, lunch, entrances, souvenirs, etc.).

Possible variations:

• PRIVATE TOUR: The standard tour is a group tour, so other people can join. In case you want to make it a private tour, the amount of € 30 must be added to the total amount, and no other reservations will be accepted.
• WITH TASTINGS: it includes the addition of gastronomic tastings to the cultural tour. The price in this case is € 45 per person in total.
• AVAILABLE LANGUAGES: The standard tour is available in English and Italian; other languages are available with a small extra (which will be communicated before booking).
• CHILDREN: PlacenPeople organisers apply a total discount for children up to 3 years old, while the payment is half-price up to 10 years old, with a minimum payment of two adult fees. From 11 years old they are considered adults.

Duration and Period

The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and the organizers often have different departure times available (9.30 – 12.30 – 2.30pm – 6.30pm). We recommend spending no more than half a day on the spot, so it is better to include the activity within a two-stage day tour (see tour of 2 locations). Our organizers are available to offer – often free of charge – a ride by car (in the case of a few people) or to organize transport by bus or minibus (in the case of groups). Available all year round.

Available places

Tours generally start with groups of 2 to 10 participants. Usually a single person can join an already created group, but it’s necessary to ask for the availability.
