We loved our Street Food walking tour in Old Bari with Manuela! She was a wealth of information and her English was easy to understand. It was fun walking the narrow streets, seeing several churches, learning the history of the area and tasting original Barese foods: Focaccia salami cheeses fried polenta breads a little vino and gelato! Great 3 hour tour!!

Our guide Guiada was excellent. We had a Spanish walking tour around Bari historic center and she was helpful and informative. She said her Spanish wasn't the best but it actually was quite good. I highly recommend this tour if you wish to learn a bit more of this beautiful city.

Francesca Romana was able to make the visit of the Norman Swabian Castle very interesting. I will recommend it to my friends, relatives and acquaintances. I will definitely participate in other guided tours offered by BariTours!

If you're into history, it's a good experience, the guide was a historian, so you got full value for money.

Nicholas was great! He helped us find parking and shared wonderful information about Bari
