What are people saying about Bari

Joanne_G, Aug 2026

The absolute best tour!

It’s been 2 days since we did this tour and we are still talking about it. It’s not just an incredible food tour, our guide Nicholas shared captivating stories from the heart of growing up in this city and how it has changed and become more accessible for tourists. We ate some of the best food we’ve ever tasted and he shared recommendations we visited the following day. I’m so grateful we found this tour, come with an empty stomach as you will leave with a full stomach and heart. 10/10 it’s a must do.

Efficient and timely

We only did the bus transfers, no guided tours or extra tickets, but it was exactly as we expected! Our driver was great, the whole day was timely, and we had plenty of time to explore both towns on our own. Clear instructions and plans for the whole day.

Amazing day in Puglia

We were lucky enough to visit Alberobello and Matera with Vito as our guide. On that day, it was just the two of us (my partner and me), which made the experience even more personal and special. Vito is exceptionally knowledgeable about history, incredibly kind, and has a wonderful sense of humor. He shared his knowledge in such an engaging and enjoyable way that we learned so much while having a fantastic time. There is no better way to discover two new cities than through their history and the stories of such a knowledgeable guide. We highly recommend Vito!

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.

Bari: The Original Street Food Tour by Bike

AshleeL, Jun 2026

Fun & food in Bari

I am always interested in doing a bike tour wherever I go and Bari was no exception. It is a great way to see a larger portion of a city and even some hidden gems. Giancarlo made it fun, he was insightful and very personable. We loved seeing the local market, the residential area where real Barese live and getting to nibble on traditional food of the area. I highly recommend this tour especially for your first day in Bari - get the lay of the land and then venture out on your own. Grazie mille Giancarlo for a fun day!

Marco was the perfect...

Marco was the perfect guide. His knowledge of the paths to the towns and of the towns was excellent. The pick up location was easy to find. Marco would give us an in-depth description of each town before we reached it and then we were left to explore. Always providing clear information on where we were to meet. The time allowed in each town was perfect. The itinerary was excellent and varied. It gave me a wonderful insight into Puglia.

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 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.

Fabio_D, Dec 2025

Great experience

Very professional company, everything was perfectly organized. The driver and guide were both super friendly, knowledgeable and made the day really enjoyable. Matera is a unique town, that must be visited once in a lifetime. They also offered to change the drop-off point at the end of the tour as we preferred to stay closer to Bari city center see the christmas lights. You can trust them completely - and you won't regret it!
