What are people saying about Bari

Monica_G, Oct 2026

Recommended experience.

Excellent option to get to know Polignano better. A tour that is definitely worth it to see the caves and spend a delightful afternoon. The only thing is that they changed the time of my tour a day before. The drink is a small glass of Prosecco and the food is a small bag of cookies, nothing spectacular.

A real taste of Bari with an outstanding guide

Nicholas was fun and funny and we learned a lot about the history of Bari and, of course, the delicious food. As we walked, many people greeted him and you could tell he is a valued member of the community. Great experience. Very good food. Wonderful afternoon.

The staff were very helpful, the guide, Sabrina was very knowledgeable, and passed on information very well, in 3 languages. The coach was comfortable. The three cities we visited were lovely, and Sabrina did her best to make sure we didn't get lost. The brochure was brilliant, with the maps and details of the important sites to see. In general, it could not have been better.

Great day in historic Puglia!!

Vitto made our day fantastic! Alberobello and Matera are both historic and amazing sites; must see places! Very informative and comfortable traveling with him, a Bari native. He spoke Greek with my husband and we ended our day in Alberobello singing Frank Sinatra with one of the shop owners!

Wonderful private day tour in Puglia

If I could give this tour more than 5 stars, I would! The tour is fully customizable, and our wonderful guide (Gabry) was very knowledgeable and made recommendations that helped us choose the perfect day for us. We visited Alborabello and Locorotondo, two beautiful towns, and he was able to explain the history and get around like a local. He even arranged a wine tasting/lunch for us. Highly recommend!

Boat trip to the Polignano a Mare caves

GrouchoMAD, Sep 2026

Absolutely must do

Excellent value for money, spectacular tour. We encountered rough seas but Pasquale, the guide, handled both the morale and the boat perfectly. Sailing the waves at sunset with Pirates of the Caribbean on the speakers? Top-notch experience! Great quality over price, the tour is spectacular. There was a bit of a rough sea but Pasquale, the driver, kept both the spirits and the boat perfect. Sail the sea at sunset with Pirates of the Caribbean theme song? Top experience!

Absolutely Outstanding Experience with Viator & Dreams for Tours! 🌟

It was an amazing experience. We had an amazing experience from start to finish! We completed our booking within 24 hours, but we realized that the original tour schedule would have made it difficult for us to return to our cruise on time. We reached out to Ryan Jan, one of the representatives from Viator, and he was incredibly helpful. Ryan contacted the local agency, Dreams for Tours, directly, and within less than two hours, they reached out to us to help arrange an earlier starting time. They were able to make the change, allowing us to enjoy the tour while still making it back to our cruise on time. That level of customer service was truly appreciated! Once we arrived, the hospitality was fantastic. And a BIG shout-out to Francesco, our tour guide! What an amazing person! He was attentive, respectful, professional, and did a wonderful job explaining the history and culture of Puglia. I honestly cannot say enough great things about him—I would give him 10 out of 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When we returned, we were running a little late, and I asked if he could drop me and my wife off at the cruise terminal. Francesco went above and beyond and personally took us there. Francesco, thank you so much! You gave us the best experience we could have asked for in Puglia. And thank you to Dreams for Tours and Viator for the excellent service and for making everything work so smoothly. Highly recommended! 🇮🇹❤️

Alberobello and Matera Bus Tour, from Bari

CRISTINA_P, Aug 2026

Had a great day & travel

It was nice, especially Matera. Without the tour it is hard to be so efficient and see 2 in one visit. Would do it again like this. There is plenty of time for both cities. Alessia was super nice and supportive from alberobello till the end, while the guide from Matera (pascuale i believe) was one of a kind! Great job, both of you! The weather was not our friend (super hot in aug), be prepared with water and at least a cap :) the transport was great, clean AC etc.

Very good experience with this organization! Arriving in san vito port and Domenico addressed, we had no appointment or reservation and just got off on good luck hoping we could still join a boat. The brothers were very flexible and a time was immediately fixed! We had the last tour and fortunately the boat to ourselves. Alessandro was a very good guide, spoke good English and could answer all our questions and meet expectations! For us a real highlight and definitely recommended

Bari is Beautiful!

If you want to understand Bari more deeply than Spritzes, Foccacia and Orrecchiette this is the tour to take. My guide was able to help me understand the beauty of Bari, some history, the legends and the facts. He was so knowledgeable and he responded to my specific questions and curiosities. I thoroughly enjoyed this and it enriched my experience of this city. Thank you.
