Mediocre info. Not much better than just walking to the sites covered. Short and weak for the price.

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.

Vincenzo was an excellent tour guide. He provided us with many opportunities to explore and look at the details. I truly appreciated the music at the end of the tour.

Thank you so much! We’re so happy you enjoyed the tour with Vincenzo💛
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! 💛
Tracey_Y, Oct 2025
This was a great introduction and orientation to Bari Vecchia! Thank you, Chiara. We appreciated the archeological information!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed Bari Vecchia and Chiara’s insights.

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

Please note that cancellations can be made directly on Viator up to 24 hours before the tour to receive a full refund. Please contact us directly, and we will be happy to find a solution together.
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!

Casual walk thru Bari Bari learning out the old city. Group was 15-17 people and very informative. 👍🏻
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed discovering the old city of Bari with us.
Amanda_M, Sep 2025
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.
John_H, Sep 2025
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
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed discovering Bari and the surprise gelato experience. Hope to see you again!
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
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to point out that our tours follow set times and content, designed to offer a complete and enjoyable experience. 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!
Nancy_L, Sep 2025
Alesia was our guide. She showed up on time, had a great working knowledge of the Old and New towns of Bari, interjected humor and legends into her talk, was very sweet yet professional. I learned so much and enjoyed walking, having gelato included, and will always stick with Viator tours because they hire excellent guides.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re glad Alessia made the tour fun and informative, and that you enjoyed the gelato! 🍦
Pina_D, Sep 2025
It’s was easy comfortable walking and it was very informative and our guide Alyssa was wonderful .
I got lost and someone from the tour team came and found me so I could join my walking group.
Thank you
Frank_S, Sep 2025
Barbara provided an excellent walking tour of Bari’s Old Town with a couple of food treats in between. I highly recommend this tour and definitely Barbara as a tour guide!
Richard_H, Sep 2025
The tour gives a nice chance to get some interesting highlights into the city and its history. Your guide was personable and made it fun- focaccia was a nice treat.
Audrey_B, Aug 2025
Iris was a great guide, friendly & extremely helpful & knowledgable. I highly recommend this tour as it’s a great way to learn more about Bari.
Rachel_S, Jul 2025
Good overview of the city. Appreciated the bits of history and just the right about of time . Would recommend
sylvie_s, Jul 2025
Very friendly guide - but two languages tour - which took for ever to get the correct version. And not enough historical data. Too high level.
Stephen_O, Jul 2025
A lovely, relaxed walk around Bari. Our guide Vincenzo was excellent, both knowledgeable and friendly. He even bought the group some focaccia at one point. Difficult to pick out a highlight as everything on the tour was interesting.
Linton_H, Jun 2025
Our Guide, Chiara was excellent. She obviously knew her stuff and was careful to keep our group together. She walked us around the old town, keeping up a narrative of the areas history. It was advertised as a 2 hour experience, but was over in less than 1 1/2.
Shane_R, Jun 2025
A good overview of Bari. Our guide was a local young man who went out of his way to give us a good tour of his local area.
