Itinerary
Basilica of Saint Nicholas is an important pilgrimage destination both for Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians and one of the most important attraction
The cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Bari-Bitonto, dedicated to Saint Sabinus, a bishop of Canosa, whose relics were brought here in the 9th century. Here you will appreciate underground roman walls named Succorpo.
The Norman Swebian Castle hosts the collection of plaster casts and temporary art exhibitions.
Piazza Ferrarese has always been one of the access points to the old town which, with its narrow streets, alleys and small openings, extends from Piazza Ferrarese - Piazza Mercantile up to the Normanno -Svevo castle. During recent restoration, which involved not only the square but also the surrounding buildings, a short stretch of the ancient Via Appia – Traiana came to light, built by the Romans in the early second century A.D.
The piazza has always represented the heart of commercial and administrative activities in the city due to the presence of the city market (not currently in this area) and of the palazzo Sedile, which is the historical reference point of Bari city Hall. Today, for the citizens of Bari it is an irreplaceable meeting point.

Alessia was a great guide. Showed us everything from Bari Vecchia and the new part of the city.
We had the best time in Bari, this tour delivered everything described and more. Chaira the tour leader was BRILLIANT! Incredibly knowledgable, efficient and funny! The pasta making was a wonderful experience and we ate delicious pasta (not the ones we made! lol!)
Dear Nancy, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience in Bari exceeded your expectations. It’s especially lovely to know that Chiara’s knowledge, efficiency and sense of humour made the tour so memorable. Hope to see you again soon here in Puglia! Kind regards, Velo Service Team
This tour is very fun! Not as much walking as I thought. You see the important parts of old Bari and get some history behind it as well. This tour did not have any ear piece to “hear” the guide better……. Which I LOVED. The guide Chaira (hopefully spelled correctly) told us to get close and we could hear her just fine! We added the pasta experience and it was a blast!!! Got to try the authentic Bari pasta from a resident of Bari. And she was super kind and welcoming!! Highly recommend to add that experience !
Dear Emma, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Bari with Chiara and that you had such a great time during the pasta experience. It's especially nice to know you felt welcomed and appreciated the authentic local atmosphere. Thank you for your recommendation and we hope to see you again soon!
We were very fortunate to have Ana as our German-speaking guide. It was a beautiful and informative tour, as well as a great experience making and eating Orecchiette with Nonna afterward ☺️
Liebe Daniela, vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen sowohl die Führung mit Ana als auch das Orecchiette-Erlebnis mit unserer Nonna gefallen haben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!
Alessia amazing guide she was really informative and fun. Also the Orecchiette class with Maria was really fun . I highly recommend Velo Services to show around in Bari.

My husband and I went on a walking cultural tour of Bari visiting several piazzas and churches including the beautiful Cathedrale of San Nicola. Alessia was lovely and very knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the history of this beautiful city. Afterwards we did a pasta experience with Anna and Mariella they were lovely. We made orichiette with Mariella, she was very patient with us. Then she served orichiette with tomato sugo and Primitivo wine to us. Delicious.
An informative tour round the old town with wonderful pasta lesson to finish. Barbara was an excellent guide
Dear Lynsey, Thank you so much! We’re happy you enjoyed the tour and the pasta lesson, Barbara will be delighted to hear your kind words. Hope to see you again in Bari!
