See the UNESCO trulli district's conical stone houses without the midday cruise-bus crush, arriving via private driver at first light or late afternoon.
What to expect
You'll wander the Rione Monti district's whitewashed trulli, many still lived in or run as small shops, and can duck into a trullo interior open to visitors. Your driver waits and can add a stop in Locorotondo or a countryside masseria on the way back. The light in early morning or late afternoon on the limestone roofs is the real payoff.

Good to know
Roughly 45 minutes each way from Monopoli; aim for a 7:30am departure or a post-4pm one to avoid tour-bus gridlock in the historic center.
