We had a great tour of Bari. Our guide was friendly and animated and we learnt loads. It was thought provoking about the different times in history not just a list of facts. We would recommend.

Informative walking tour, very enjoyable.

Joanne_R, Mar 2025

Very informative walking tour. We learned lots about Bari & history and discovered parts of the town we would otherwise have missed.

Best walking tour of Bari!

Nadia_P, Jan 2025

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our walking tour with Giampaolo from @jumpytours! From the moment we met, his warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for an unforgettable day. Giampaolo's deep knowledge of Bari's history, culture, and hidden gems truly brought the city to life for us. He has an incredible knack for storytelling, making each stop on the tour both informative and engaging. We particularly loved his insights into local traditions and his recommendations for places to eat and visit. His passion for the city is evident, and it made our tour all the more enjoyable. If you're visiting Bari and want to explore the best it has to offer, we highly recommend taking a tour with Giampaolo. It's an experience you won't want to miss!

Great experience. Very informative!

Our guide was really good. We got a short history of both Bari, Italy and even art and war. Very informative and the guide was into the tour. We even tasted the best focaccia in the city for free :) highly recommended for those that want a better understanding of the city and culture.

1 remark : the adress noted as starting point was wrong. Fortunately there was also mentioned that the tour started in front of the castle.

Superb walking tour

The walking tour was very nice and completed. I learned a lot about culture and religion in this part of Italy and some many other things. I experienced the so famous Italian hospitality with a very nice and tasty focaccia. I really recommend this tour. You will learn, have fun, eat and do your daily steps.
