Experience Bari like a local during a relaxed walking tour at golden hour, when the city is bathed in warm light and local life comes alive.

End your walk on the seafront promenade, between the city and the sea, as you watch the sunset like a true local. This is more than a tour — it's a journey into the heart and soul of Bari.

Great relaxing tour

We absolutely loved this boat tour along the coastline of Polignano a Mare. It was one of the highlights of our time in Puglia. Seeing the caves and dramatic cliffs from the water gives you a completely different perspective than from land—truly stunning. The colors of the water, the rock formations, and the way the town rises above the sea are just beautiful. Our guide was informative and engaging, sharing just the right amount of history and insight without overwhelming the experience. It felt relaxed, enjoyable, and well-paced. If you’re visiting the area, this is such a great way to experience the coastline and appreciate what makes Polignano a Mare so special. Highly recommend.

Exceptional Walking Food Tour with Lorena - Highly Recommend!

We were fortunate to have Lorena all to ourselves for this walking food tour, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, she was punctual, lively, and energized - her enthusiasm was infectious throughout the entire experience. Lorena is incredibly knowledgeable and has a natural, comfortable way of sharing information about Bari's culture, language, historic sites, and most importantly, the food! We explored beautiful landmarks including Basilica San Nicola, Piazza Mercantile, Piazza del Ferrarese, Teatro Margherita, Cattedrale di San Sabino, and Castello Normanno Svevo, while learning the stories and traditions that make Bari so special. The few hours we spent with Lorena were well worth every moment. Her passion for her city and its culinary heritage really shines through.

Nice paced visit to interesting cities from Bari

Booking this tour was the best decision we made. My husband, daughter, and I had a fantastic day in Matera and Alberobello. The driver and guide, Andreas and Piero, were both friendly and welcoming. He shared so much history and knowledge with us that we would never have known without his tour. He was generous with his time and gave us tips on the places we visited. The van ride was comfortable, air-conditioned, and on time at every stop. It was an excellent tour and well worth the time and money.

It was such a beautiful experience, self guided when in the little towns which we loved however only wish we started with Alberobello rather than doing that last because we were too tired to properly explore (but that’s a personal opinion and does not reflect negatively on the tour itself)

The cooking class was good fun . Great information and lovely ingredient's. We made the tiramisu as a group then worked alone for the pasta making. The hosts were friendly and funny but passionate and expressive. Some translations were awkward between the chef and translator but that is for them to resolve. We had Prosecco during the break from the preparation . Then was given wines / drinks with our meal. We made two types of pasta . It was a great experience 😊

Fun and worth the private cost

This was a great experience and a welcome getaway from the cruise that ported in Bari. It was Saturday and the locals were out enjoying their weekend. I would have loved to see a cave we couldn’t because of traffic but it was fun. Skylar was perfect and sweet, she and Nico were nice and professional.
