What are people saying about Bari

Suzy_G, Jul 2026

Amazing!

Nico was a wonderful captain today. My wife and I had been concerned about a bumpy ride because I hurt my back just a couple of days ago, but Nico assured us that he would go slowly and he kept checking to be sure I felt ok. The tour was excellent and Nico took time to explain in both English and Italian descriptions of the grottos and Polignano A Mare town scenes. We had a wonderful 40 minute break for swimming in delightful waters and Nico served us aperitifs and snacks. What a great way to spend 2 hours. He even helped us secure a Tuk Tuk ride from the center of town to his mooring location.

My favorite activity in Puglia

Absolutely fantastic! Pick up was on time. Boat experience was beautiful. Owner Elisa came with us and was a superb guide. We were lucky to be the last tour of the day so it ended up lasting much more. Beautiful sunset! Great aperol, noce captain. Loved it all!

Awesome Food Tour!

This was the perfect way to explore Bari! We were only briefly there and wanted to make sure we got some good food while also learning about the history of the city. This tour was the perfect way to do it! The food was delicious (and very filling), the stories that Nicholas, our guide, told were interesting and exciting, and we were pleased that we were able to enjoy drinks along the way. Anyone visiting Bari will enjoy this tour!

Alberobello and Matera Bus Tour, from Bari

Laurette_C, Jul 2026

We went on the full day...

We went on the full day tour of Alberobello and Matera including an olive oil tasting. Our bus had air conditioning and was comfortable. We opted for the tour guide option in both cities. Our guide in Alberobello was Michela and she was lovely and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed visiting and learning about Alberobello with her. In Matera, our guide was Pasquale. He gave us so much information and history about the city. We had a wonderful tour with him. At the end of the tour, there is an option to either walk down to the main piazza or to take a bus for 1.50 Euro. We were all very happy to take the bus. Both guides are local to their city and we met them there. They didn’t travel with us from Bari. We would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to visit both cities and would rather not drive themselves.

Apulian Cooking Class with Aperitif and Wine in Polignano a Mare

Nicole_S, Jun 2026

More Than a Cooking Class—A Beautiful Puglian Memory!

Our orecchiette cooking class with Annamaria was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Puglia! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel like family. Annamaria is an incredible teacher—so engaging, patient, and passionate. She shared wonderful stories about Puglia, its traditions, and the history behind the region’s famous orecchiette while teaching us the authentic technique step by step. By the end of the class, we were actually making our own pasta with confidence! The food was absolutely delicious, and sharing the meal together afterward made the experience even more special. The company, conversation, and warm hospitality made us feel like we were guests in a friend’s home rather than taking a cooking class. I took the class with my mom and my sister, and it’s a memory we’ll treasure forever. If you’re visiting Polignano a Mare and want an authentic Puglian experience, don’t miss this class. Thank you, Annamaria, for an unforgettable afternoon filled with laughter, learning, amazing food, and beautiful memories!

Boat tour of the Polignano a Mare caves with aperitif

Abigail_W, Jun 2026

Great tour!

This was a great tour! You travel along the coast looking at the caves, seeing Lama Monachile beach from the sea and exploring the coastline and the buildings on the cliff. We then got a chance to swim and a glass of Prosecco and some trialling snacks to try! Our captain was very informative and was happy to answer any questions the group had. It was also very reasonably priced in comparison to a lot of other tours! I definitely recommend this tour if you are looking to do a boat trip to the caves of Polignano!

An Authentic and Personalized Puglia experience

We had a wonderful day exploring Ostuni and Alberobello with Gabry. From the beginning, Gabry tailored the tour to our interests, creating a truly personalised experience that went far beyond the typical tourist itinerary. His passion for Puglia and its many regions is infectious, and his knowledge of the area’s history, culture, food, and traditions made every stop more meaningful. One of the highlights was enjoying an authentic seafood lunch at a seaside restaurant frequented mostly by locals—something we would never have discovered on our own. Gabry also gave us a rare opportunity to visit a friend’s Trullo home that has been preserved in its original state. It was fascinating to see such an authentic piece of Puglian history and provided a unique insight into traditional life in the region. Gabry’s warm personality, local connections, and genuine love for Puglia made this one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting to discover the real Puglia through the eyes of a passionate local guide.

Lori_M, May 2026

Perfect way to get to see three diverse cities without the commitment of staying over night.

This was a great excursion to be able to see three cities with a driver! Nice not having to drive on my own. Nice to have a driver giving you suggestions of what to see and where to eat when at each city. These cities are small and perfect for a couple of hours.

Boat trip to the Polignano a Mare caves

Julie_P, May 2026

Must do trip in Polignano a Mare

The coastline of Polignano a Mare is full of caves. It is magnificent. This cruise left from the harbour a few kms out of town and traveled along the coast going right in to lots of the caves. The captain was a very skilled driver who navigated the boat in to tight spaces. We loved the outing. We were unfortunate that the weather was cloudy and a bit cold on the day of our trip so we did not swim. But on a beautiful sunny day, the swim stop would have been incredible. I think this is a must do activity whilst in Polignano a Mare. The caves are not claustrophobic if you are worried (as I was)

Bari Cooking Class : Traditional Focaccia & Orecchiette

Cassandra_B, May 2026

This was a great pasta...

This was a great pasta making experience. Silvia and Mariela were our tour guides and hosts and we had a great time. They taught us how it make tasty focaccia and orchiette and let us eat some of the creations. They were so nice to speak a little Italian with us and help us learn.
