Ape calessino tours in Taranto: tour the city and the Old Town aboard the classic Ape three-wheeler, among alleys, seafront and monuments.
History
There's a thoroughly Italian, slightly vintage way to discover a city: aboard the Ape calessino, the iconic three-wheeler that has become the symbol of a Mediterranean way of life. In Taranto, the Ape tour blends retro charm with a comfortable, panoramic way of getting around.
What to see
Accompanied by a driver-guide, you cross the city's landmark places: the alleys of the Old Town (where the Ape slips nimbly where cars cannot go), the seafront, the Borgo Umbertino and the lookouts over the two seas. The slow pace and open cab let you enjoy the view and stop for photos.
It's an original, relaxing experience, perfect for those short on time, for those who'd rather not walk too much, or simply for anyone seeking a different, fun way to live the city.
A ride in an Ape is also a little dive into the atmosphere of the South, among colours, light and the charm of a vehicle that tells a piece of Italy.
