Great variety of food. Our guide was Barbara- very nice and informative, captured our attention the whole time and just an amazing guide overall. And a great way to see and experience Bari if you don’t have a lot of time
Giancarlo was an amazingly enthusiastic guide for this adventure. Who better to show you Bari and select street foods to sample than a well educated, young man from Bari, drawing on his own life experience. Fantastic historical stops in Bari coupled with well chosen food choices. A plus!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to know you enjoyed exploring Bari through its history and authentic street food. It's especially rewarding to hear that Giancarlo's enthusiasm, local knowledge, and personal connection to the city made your experience so memorable. We will be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope to welcome you back to Puglia again soon! Kind regards, The Velo Service Team
Viviana was a wonderful guide. The Old City is lovely and we were given history information as we went. We were the only English speaking couple on our tour. Although Viviana gave us information, for the 5 minutes explaining to us, she spoke to the other Italians in our group at least 3x longer wherever we went. That part was disappointing. The food was good, altho unnecessary. The walking tour was 2 hrs which included a piece of focaccia. The food tour was an hour an consisted of a stop for a small plate of several delicacies, followed by fried pizza pocket (could have done without) ending with gelato. This part of the tour was a waste of money.
