Wonderful tour with Adriano
Wonderful time spent with Adriano today in the old town of Bari. He kept us entertained, informed, we learned about the history, community, traditions of the area. It was a really we paced and interesting tour. He answered our questions, got us working as a group with a game about the historical timeline. A truly delightful gentleman. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
