★★★★★ Frederica Made Bari Come Alive – Exceptional Private Food Tour

Joseph_L, Oct 2025

Frederica delivered an outstanding private street food tour of Bari. Her energy, knowledge, and personable approach made this experience one of the highlights of our trip. She expertly guided us through Bari’s culinary and architectural treasures: Il Salumiere Nino for excellent salumi and cheeses, Meh! for their famous panzerotto (truly “the greatest panzerotto in Bari old town”), Mastrociccio - Mordi La Puglia for authentic local specialties, and finished with gelato. We also walked the famous street where the pasta nonnas hand-roll orecchiette daily – a genuine Bari tradition. Between food stops, Frederica showed us the stunning St. Nicholas Basilica with its Romanesque portal and sculptures, plus the Bari Cathedral (San Sabino) where she explained the famous rose window phenomenon – sunlight shines directly through on June 21. What set Frederica apart: deep knowledge of Bari’s culinary traditions and architecture, genuine enthusiasm, friendly and engaging personality, excellent pacing, and strong relationships with local vendors. She knows the city intimately and curates stops that blend exceptional food with cultural context. If you want an authentic, well-curated food and culture experience in Bari with a guide who knows her stuff, book this tour with Frederica. Worth every euro.

Anna was our guide and she wonderful! Friendly, informative and very knowledgeable. We went on a Bari Street Food Tour. We saw and ate wonderful things. Anna continued to explain points of local and historical interest as we toured. We even joined a local musician Anna knew for some local songs. Great Tour! Ask for Anna!

Not worth it!

This was a real disappointment! We booked a private food tour of Bari so we could tailor make our experience. We are real foodies and we wanted to see Bari off the beaten track. I emailed the tour office numerous times explaining our needs and was told everything would be OK and we could discuss our needs with the guide. When we arrived, we were told the tour is the tour and we will just go to the places that they have mapped for all their food tours! Having paid over double for a private tour , we would have had the same experience had we gone in a group. The tour was supposed to be 3 hours but after 2 hours we were told the tour is ending and we need to rush along. Having notified the guide that we are vegetarian ,we were given some pretty uninteresting food stuffs in tourist spots and by no means places locals would visit. At each stop were asked to wait outside while the guide brought us food. Surely the point of a good tour is to go in to the shop/deli/ restaurant, see it being made, talk to the people who make it and learn about it. The guide knew very little about the history or origins of the food. I appreciate she was well versed on the history of the city but this was a food tour not a historical tour. We feel very let down. Viator please make direct contact to resolve the matter. Not worth paying a premium for a private tour!
