Top Bari Art & Culture

"a wonderful moment !! the guide was super nice, a time planned to swim. everything was perfect !!! Thanks"

"Our Guide Georgina was knowageable of Bari's food and wine, but her relationships with local resturant Owners made all our stops more personal."

"Velo Service offers a variety of tours and experiences but this one was probably one of the most authentic. Giada, our tour guide, managed a group of seven tourists speaking 3 different languages and she did it quite well, all while being knowledgeable and entertaining. We got to visit all the major landmarks of the city and got to learn their history as well as making a few stops to try local foods (getting to skip the line at Panificio Fiore was great). The tour led us along the Lungomare where there was a surprise performance by a local tarantela musician in which we got to participate. The tour concluded with a small pasta class on how to make orecchiette, which was taught by Donna Carmela, who is somewhat of a local celebrity and institution. It would take us years to reach her level of expertise at making this deceptively simple looking pasta, but it was a joy to watch her work. Of course, we also got to try the orecchiette with a simple tomato sauce. It was truly an authentic experience."

"Fantastic very friendly and helpful. We had a small group of 8. Our guides English was very good. Don’t eat before excellent food"

"Our tour guide Falicita was very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome to the town of Bari. The food tasting was great."

"Tour was very interesting and our guide Vito is fantastic and very passionate about Puglia and Italy. I highly recommend this tour to see two Unesco places in one day."

"Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable he showed us many of the interesting parts of each of the cities that we visited it was a very good time"

"Me and my partner came to Bari to learn something about the local food culture. We spent a lovely evening with Cristina and her mother making orechiette, a tipical pasta pugliese. The hosts welcomed us very warmly and they love to share their knowledge about cooking and local food. It is a really authentic cooking with nonna experience. This is really rare to find and at the end of the evening we felt that we recieved much more than we gave. Totally recommend it, 5 stars from us :-)"

"Visiting Azienda Agricola Mazzone was a great experience for me and my friends. The owners were very kind, friendly and always ready to answer all our questions. We've learned a lot about the wine production process. Delicious wine paired with awesome homemade food make us want to go back soon!"

"Our guide was such a joy the wine was the best I’ve ever tasted learning about how the wine is made and the length of time and preparation going into it was fascinating"

"Adriano was an excellent guide bringing the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of Bari Old Town to life. All the staff were great and would recommend going on this tour."

"Informative, friendly guide! Great fun cycling around and very enjoyable pasta experience. Also offered to keep the bikes after if we wanted! 10/10!!"

"Our guide was quite knowledgeable. We were able to see a large portion of the old and new sections of the city. Gelato was wonderful."

"Guide was really knowledgeable, she could tell a lot of things we didn’t know before . We can recommend it"

"My wife and I were most impressed with the rickshaw tour. The guide and driver of the rickshaw, Vlad, was excellent at his work, and his manners are super. The tour itself was very informative, and we would easily recommend it to anyone who wants to know about the history of this nice city."

"What started out as a very interesting and competent tour of Matera with Marzia became something truly unique and memorable in Alberobello where we had the privilege to share pranzo in a trullo with the lovely Aquilino family and to be entertained on guitar with their very talented youngest daughter, Emanuela. Unfortunately, we were not able to get to Bari, probably because of the late hour, but our driver Giorgio, who took over from Marzia, provided us with a very interesting understanding of Italian religious practices."

"Thank you Vito for showing me the magic of Puglia. Your passion and knowledge are evident in the way you speak about your home. Will definitely have to come back."

"The tour guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, fun, and charismatic. This tour is an excellent way to experience Bari!"

"This was an amazing tour that took us to many of the highlights of Bari. Our tour guide, Vito, presented the tour in an exceptionally interesting and informative way. Well versed on the Bari area. This was a full day tour that covered it all."
