Bari Tours

"The guide/skipper was very thorough. He explained the caves and the different names/formations. The boat ride was smooth and refreshing. Taralli I and sparking wine was served. It was a very enjoyable two hours."

"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."

"We had such a lovely time during this icecream workshop! You could tell that Giordy is passionate about gelato. He and his sister really made us feel welcome! The icecream we made was so delicious (the best sorbet I ever had, with melon flavour as well as such an amazing tiramisu icecream). We wish them all the best in the future with their icecream business and workshop! We loved it!"

"An amazing trip with an amazing guide. I definitely recommend this trip. Book it without any thoughts."

"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 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"

"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."

"The guide and the day were perfect!!! I'd highly recommend it to anyone!!!"

"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"

"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."

"Our hosts were delightful, making the pasta was fun and afterward they served us a delicious and memorable meal."

"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."

"really nice experience and more than beautiful views! definitely worth it! the tour is just in right duration, interesting introduction plus prosecco on board! definitely worth it!"

"We had a Saturday morning 3 Street food rickshaw tour with Silvia. It was the best money we spent all weekend. So much fun and we got to taste the most amazing food. We definitely didn’t need any lunch afterwards. Silvia was so knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this to everyone."

"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."

"Amazing trip on the clear waters and in the caves of the sea around Polignano. A quick introduction on land to tell us how to do different strokes in the kayak, however for total beginners, it would have been nice to try and practice the strokes in the sea before having to use them, especially the backward and turning. Also, getting thrown into the water right in the middle of a busy beach was a little unnerving for total beginners as well. However, I strongly recommend it to anyone because you get to see the city in a totally different way, especially for those who are environmentally friendly and do not want to use a powerboat and harm the ecosystem. Marco is a professional, friendly instructor/leader who speaks English very well and is able to joke with the people on the ride."

"We had such a lovely tour with our guide Francesco. He was very knowledgable about the history. We truly enjoyed the wine tasting and the charming village of alberabello. We opted to take the Segways through town and are so glad we did because it was a very hot day and we could cruise easily up and down the hills. I highly recommend this tour with Francesco!"

"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."

"Juanita is the loveliest Italian woman with a beautiful home close to the center of Bari. I felt so welcome immediately and she was very patient and gave helpful feedback during the class, since making the orrechiette is more difficult than she makes it look! We made homemade pasta, focaccia, and tiramisu and I loved every bite! I’d highly recommend spending a few hours with Juanita for a genuine experience learning about apulian food traditions :)"

"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."
