Barbara was an excellent tour guide. Super knowledgeable, friendly, good energy. Highly recommend her
Joanne_T, May 2026
Very poor value for money, I do not recommend this trip. The guide was very pleasant but we literally walked between a few sites and heard perhaps one or two sentences at each site. So little information was imparted. It was the most bizarre guided "tour" that I have ever joined. Very over priced. The ice cream stop was almost as if they were trying to fill the time.

The walking tour was good but is a generic offer and all of the companies selling tours use the same people, therefore quite a few people in the group. Barbara was actually very good but I'm sorry I have to give the a very average rating because of the booking company.
You should know that the website is not very clear on the costs. The front page does not show what the real cost is. It is from. And the unit cost dollar type(like US or euro) is not clear and it does not show you that until the end and if you don't notice your costs can be much more than a cost you were expecting. I called them just 5 minutes after booking explaining I did notice the US dollar and they wouldn't do anything about it so the two are was probably $30 a head more than the other sites which is a lot considering with they use the same tour company. It ended up being their loss because we had another three and a half weeks and 5 tour/activities in Italy visiting many towns and we did not use viator one more time. We made sure we used alternative sites so it cost Viator a lot more business than fixing my issue or offerring a refund. I will never use them again purely because of the experience that I had so if you're reading this Viator, you really should review your customer service.

We did this tour on a Saturday. It was easy to find the meeting sport and check in for our tour. There are several cafes close so you have a spot to enjoy a drink while you wait.
Our guide was informative and able to answer questions the group asked. Hit all the highlights of Bari and gave us a good idea where to visit on our own later

Focused on old Bari and the history of the town. Quick overview of the new part of Bari. Can go as quickly or as slowly as needed. Great guide and allows you many opportunities to visit some highlighted areas at your leisure. Great tour. Exceptional guidance.

Well worth the time and money to see and understand Old Town Bari. Our tour guide Barbara was exceptional. She did not rush us and allowed plenty of time to enjoy the ambiance of the area.

Our guide (Federica) was very friendly! The explanations (in English and Italian) were very informative and interesting.
I enjoyed the tour a lot. We got to visit and see many important monuments. Free time was provided so that we could enter the Basilica of Saint Nicholas by ourselves.
2 things to keep in mind:
1. Sometimes, they will provide a free piece of Focaccia Barese instead of free gelato (especially in winter). This happened with our tour. The Focaccia Barese was delicious nonetheless!
2. The meeting place is a bit difficult to find. Try to arrive early so that you can find the spot on time.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Federica made the experience even more special with her friendly attitude and clear explanations in both English and Italian.
It’s great that you found the visit informative and interesting, and that you appreciated the opportunity to see many important monuments, including having free time to enter the Basilica of Saint Nicholas at your own pace.
We’re also glad you enjoyed the focaccia barese, a delicious local treat!
Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Bari soon!

super nice tour with a great tour guide, Alessia. She was super informed and entertaining. Beyond that the city itself is incredibly beautiful with a rich history. My favourite part was the big church we got to go inside.

Astrid_S, Oct 2025
Easy to book online and good communication with the company when they had to change my planned time for the trip. The guide was doing a good job, gave us facts and anecdotes, but knew what was what. His youthful joy in showing us a bit of his city was inspiring.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed the experience and our guide’s enthusiasm 🌟
Clifford_S, Oct 2025
Barbara was a great guide pointing out major elements of Bari history while winding through the narrow alleyways. Great Foccaccia stop. A small group of English and French visitors and she did an excellent job switching between the two languages,
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It was a real pleasure sharing Bari’s stories (and focaccia!) with you. Hope to see you again soon! 💛

Communication with the operator is tough. I ended up missing the tour because my boat did not dock in bari and while this was my issue it would have been nice to hear back from the operator when I asked to cancel

Virginia_M, Oct 2025
The tour was as described. Our guides were excellent at "herding cats" while offering insights, answering questions about all that we saw. A lot was packed into the 2 hours and the focaccia was superb. If you are in good walking condition, this would be an excellent introduction to the city, its history and culture.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour, the focaccia, and the insights into our city. Hope to welcome you back soon!

Guides are knowledgeable with the history of the town. Not super stroller friendly and guide wasn’t concerned with using accessible crossings for strollers.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your feedback! Bari’s old town, with its historic charm, can sometimes be less accessible, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. We’re glad you enjoyed the guide’s knowledge.

The guide revealed interesting facts about Bari that I would never have found on my own. The gelato experience was an unexpected pleasure.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Linda_C, Sep 2025
It was a quick tour. Just long enough to get in the main churches and try some delicious focaccia and see where to come back to visit more. The guide spoke English well and answered questions. We got a water too!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour, the focaccia, and discovering Bari, hope to see you back soon!
Yvonne_D, Sep 2025
The tour was a little shorter than advertised and those taking part were left to wander a couple of times which in my opinion took up valuable time. The Guide, charming and funny, did not have the background information and details I would normally expect.
Response from Host, Sep 2025

At the same time, we always strive to adapt to the group and the people taking part, making each visit unique and personalized. We are sorry that this was not fully perceived during your experience. We are glad you appreciated the guide’s charm and humor.
Joanne_C, Sep 2025
Iris was very informative & we enjoyed the sing along with the local musician. We would recommend that the tour offered headsets to hear our guide better.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour with Iris. We appreciate your suggestion about headsets!
