Free tour of Bari, the old city was excellent Michele loves his city and is very knowledgeable about its history, both ancient and 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. He was kind and very informative. We will be taking additional tours through him.

What a wonderful way to discover the city, with the incredible Alendra (sorry if spelt wrong), couldn’t recommend it enough.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful time exploring our city. Don’t worry about the spelling at all—Aleandra (you were very close!) was delighted to lead the way and will be so happy to hear your kind words. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we really appreciate the recommendation. Best, Free Walking Tour Bari

Upon arrival, we greeted the tour guide. The tour guide made a face at us and didn’t say hello or good morning. He was supremely unkind and unwelcoming. This was a lousy start to the tour. The tour guide then proceeded to castigate us for making two reservations and joining as a group of seven. He angrily told us that we were violating tour policy. The tour guide was bitter, petty, and his demanor/presentation was distasteful and offputting. He began his presentation complaining that he was stuck with us for two hours. Furthermore, the content of his presentation was dull and uninteresting. We have been on free walking tours all over the world, and this was by far the worst experience we ever had. Naturally, we left the tour early. The tour guide, Michele, did not deserve our business nor does he deserve yours! (P.S. Shamaney!)
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. However, we feel it's important to respectfully clarify a few key points. Michele is one of our most valued and appreciated guides, as confirmed by the hundreds of 5-star reviews he consistently receives. His passion for Bari and the quality of his work have made him a cornerstone of our team. Regarding your group’s participation, our booking policy clearly states that we welcome up to 6 participants per reservation for our free walking tours. This guideline is in place to ensure a pleasant and manageable experience for everyone involved. It appears that, in this case, the policy was bypassed through multiple bookings — something we try to manage delicately but consistently. We regret that the situation impacted your experience, and we remain available to clarify any concerns or offer assistance in the future. Kind regards, The FWTBari Team
A friendly and very professional guide, who describes well the places visited, integrating with the necessary historical information, very good.
