We’d definitely recommend this tour! Fabrizio was an excellent guide, we learned a lot about the city and enjoyed all the little anecdotes. We were also given plenty of useful tips for restaurants and places to go.

We were so fortunate to have Anna as our guide for a small private "culinary" tour of Bari. Let me begin by saying that we returned to our cruise ship absolutely stuffed with the most remarkable foods. Anna was fantastic; smart, funny, enthusiastic and knowledgeable of all things Bari. She's lived her for 20 years and it shows. We had the best focaccia ever and an incredible lunch spread (could not come close to finishing it). The old part of Bari was also delightful to explore with Anna, and especially so on a beautiful day. You will be especially fortunate if you can get her as a guide. Her tour was an absolute highlight of our trip.

Adriano was fantastic. Gave a real insight into Bari and gave a really good flavour of what it was like to be a local in the old town. Good information was given on historical sights and tried to make the tour interactive.

Michele was a professional, knowledgeable, and fun guide. He greatly enhanced our understanding of sites we had seen while walking around Bari on our own. Michele's stories about local history, people and customs really made the city come to life! I highly recommend taking this tour.

Fabrizio was great. He was engaging and exciting the whole time. Lots of knowledge and tips about Bari. I even overheard another person on my tour say “this is the best walking tour we’ve done in Europe”

I really love the concept of the free walking Tours and was not disappointed again! Our tour guide was great and one could tell that he does the tours with all of his heart. It was really interesting to get to know Bari from someone that grew up here and to get some helpful tips. Would definitely recommend.

We had a great walk with Giuseppe through the old streets of Bari. His profound knowledge and his personal stories made this walking tour very special. We would recommend this tour to everyone who is interested in a real Barese experience than in just another commercial walking tour!

A must do trip, early in your stay in Bari This is a 'must do' excursion as early as you can after arriving in Bari. Our guide Adriano was superb. We now know where to go back to, to spend more time exploring, and where to eat and drink like locals. Navigating the old town is tricky as there are dozens of narrow streets and alleys. We got to see the hidden gens like the one of the local women making the Barese pasta called Orrechiette. There's also an interactive history lesson!
This is a fantastic walking tour and I thoroughly recommend it to all. Bravo Adriano!

The best walking tour ever. Bari Old Town is magical and special by itself, but when Fabrizio is around, everything just shine brighter. A super friendly person with amazing energy and great knowledge and connection to the history of the place, Fabrizio made the two and a half hour tour to feel like a chat with your best friend. Getting to know the tales, the myths and the dialects of this amazing place was an unforgettable experience which I recommend completely.

I had a great time at the tour and Michele has offered his knowledge in a cool, fun and light way. He introduced to us the locals and their habits but the best part of it was that I got to meet a lot of great people. Thank you for the beautiful day!

One of the best tours we've had (trust me, we've had quite a few around Europe)! Fabrizio was super enthusiastic, knowledgeable and kept our attention going despite the scorching sun and the city noises around us. The tour lasts around 2h and he made it fun all along, also didn't hesitate to stay longer to answer all additional questions people had. Really really recommended to anyone going to Bari! ⭐

One of the best free walking tour I've ever had! Our guide Fabrizio was very entertaining and guided our tour with passion and in a funny way:). The tour last for over 2 hours. He speaks english fluently so there were no problems with understanding. He was also eager to answer a lot of extra questions so do not hesitate to ask one!

I've joined “The Jungle” Free Walking Tour, and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bari. On the tour you can learn about the touristic part of the and get lots of recommendations, like bakeries and bars where locals go.

Dynamic tour of a beautiful old town Fabrizio made this one of the best free walking tours experiences I have had in Europe. He delivers the information at a great pace and finds ways to make the history interactive, rather than rattling off dates and names. Seriously, this tour could have gone for another hour and I wouldn't have complained.
Being a local, he clearly has a great knowledge of - and relationship with - Bari. You get all the historical stuff, plus a lot of myths and legends about the old city and fantastic tips for modern Bari.

Sciamainne! Let's go! If you come to Bari for the first time this walking tour is a must! Fabrizio was an enthusiastic and informative guide. One of the best walking tours I've been on. There are no toilets near the start of the walk but around halfway there's an opportunity to stop for the toilet and buy some water, coffee, etc.

Free Walking Tour of Bari Our guide was Fabrizio. Big shoutout for his ability to lead a group in a nice, interactive way while still making sure we learn something about the city's history, culture and heritage. I especially liked the way the historical outline was presented... but no spoilers here, I really recommend to join the tour and of course tip the guide generously at the end!

We had a wonderful customized tour with Anna. She was fluent in English, knowledgeable and fun! You can tell how much she loves her town. We saw a side of Bari we would never have seen on our own for a reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone visiting Bari!

Fascinating tour with Michele this morning. Brought the history and present of Bari alive really quickly. A lovely and unique city and the perfect way to see it. A great business model too, curiously and satisfyingly rooted in the Barese culture of independence and resistance to whatever prevailing authority has happened to attempt to impose itself on the city (and there have been a few!).

Great experience We had a two hour walk starting from the old town to Murat. Our guide Fabrizio gave an enthusiastic presentation not only of the historical facts and sights but also about the barese spirit and life style. Meeting the guy that is the ice dealer for the whole town (there is actually an ice dealer, yes) and the lady making orecchiette pasta on the street is something you hardly find on your own and cannot simply google out. While Fabrizio was talking about how orecchiette are served a couple of old ladies started to shout their best recepies from their window - it's just priceless. After having around 20 free walking tours around the world that was probably one of the most authentic, enthusiastic, relaxed and friendly walks ever. Fabrizio was kindly providing good advices for foodies and the things to do, not only in the town but also in the rest of Puglia region.

The tour in the Bari downtown was really well done. We had the chance to walk around the ancient part crossing many locals and the historical explanation was very clear. Grazie Fabrizio!

Best way to visit Bari We loved our Free Walking Tour with Fabrizio. Best way to visit Bari Vecchia and a bit of the new city as well. We didn't expect to enter the Cathedral, that was a nice plus of the tour since usually free walking tours don't include going into buildings.
Fabrizio was very nice and gave us great tips to enjoy the city.
