The guide Cecilia is very friendly and knows the city very well. The visit is super interesting and it gives a tone of local person to the points visited. Your Spanish is excellent
Despite a clerical error (booking not showing to guide) we had an excellent time. Filippo, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. We wandered around the old town of Bari for about 2 hours, in the main avoiding the crowds. I highly recommend Filippo to you.
Cecilia is a fun and adorable sweetheart of a young lady who so easily shares her extensive knowledge of the history and architecture of the city of Bari - a place she obviously loves. She is completely devoted to her guests and did everything to make sure we had fun, all while learning fascinating history about Bari. She even got to show us the famous Oriechette chef Nunzia. Her information about the awesome church of San Nicola was the highlight of the trip, and she prepared us so well to feel the spirit in the church and in the visitors. We also got some great pastry! Highest recommendation to use Cecilia for a tour of Bari you will always remember. Grazie mille, Cecilia!
A wonderful opportunity to begin to explore Bari Vecchia, sample some local street foods and see the Basso Arco/the street of the orechiette. Dara was delightful and answered all of our questions. It was a pleasure to spend several hours with her.
Great experience. Easy to find guide. Easy to understand. Wonderful way to see and learn the area. Would recommend.
Filippo was our guide in Bari. Awesome! Good tour in the historical center. It was such a very intersting experience. Thanks
