What are people saying about Bari

Apulian Cooking Class with Aperitif and Wine in Polignano a Mare

Karen_M, Sept 2026

Pasta with love ❤️

Anna Marie loves to share her passion for cooking with others. We are a group of seven women traveling in Puglia and embracing the culture and food along the way. This class was thoughtful, educational and fun! We met other like-minded people and we were all guided by an Italian woman who understands the true importance of sharing a traditional meal with friends and family. Wine, water, lemoncello and focaccia graced our table too!

Lovely afternoon

We had a lovely afternoon on the boat, the captain and guide were so nice and told us lots about the caves in Polignano. We had a wonderful swim in warm sea water it was magnificent! We had drinks and snacks afterwards too. We loved every minute and truly one of our favourite days of our holiday travelling around Italy. We would definitely recommend this experience. Very reasonably priced too. Such a great day.

The host Nicolas was very charming and knew his history of not only the food but the city in general. The food and drink provided were of an exceptional standard and the portion sizes were bigger than experienced on other food tours that we’ve taken.

Boat Tour of the Polignano a Mare Coast with Aperitif

Talia_T, Sept 2026

We booked a last minute...

We booked a last minute boat tour and were extremely happy we did. Nico was our guide and from the start he was very friendly and communicative. I reached out to Nico prior to the scheduled tour to ask about the easiest way to get to the meeting point from our hotel. He was very quick to help. While being on the tour we learned about many caves, statues, and a lot of interesting facts about the surrounding areas. We toured the area for about an hour and then we were able to swim the rest of the duration of the tour. Nico provided snacks and your choice of a soft or alcoholic beverage. After swimming he surprised us with homemade tiramisu, which was quite a lovely surprise. He was charismatic and made for a good tour guide with his sense of humor. We are so glad we decided to do a last minute boat tour. If you are in the Puglia area and want to do a boat tour I would highly recommend this one. It wasn’t as expensive as the others I saw and we genuinely have no complaints. Grazie Nico!

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! 🇮🇹❤️

Bari: Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine by Cooking Italy

Reem_K, Aug 2026

Amazing pasta +. tiramisu class!

This pasta and tiramisu class was amazing! The chef as well as our guide were so great, and made the class enjoyable for everybody. They were very accommodating, and made sure everyone was on the same page while making the food. The pasta tasted great, and the tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had! They also give the recipe at the end of the class, so that you are able to attempt to make it yourself. The class itself lasted about 3 hours, and we had a group of 15 total. I would definitely recommend this class!

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.

Camille_B, May 2026

Excellent boat ride!

WOW THIS TOUR WAS FANTASTIC! First of all the music played on the boat was amazing and then the operator of the boat let us swim a little bit towards the end and poured us a glass of prosecco, the cave tour was awesome and the small bits of history described by the tour guide was amazing

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)

Tour of Bari

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
