If you love history, art and culture, you cannot miss this tour. You will explore the main attractions of the old town and literally go down under the surface. Our guide Viviana was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and a joy to spend your time with. Highly recommended!

Deep dive of Bari history told through underground history. Up close view of original frescos and architecture found under beautiful sites in historic Bari. Guide did a great job of story telling and gave excellent recommendations as I continued my afternoon.
