A very nice walk through the old town of Bari - A very nice walk through the old town of Bari. We saw a lot worth seeing and learned a lot from the very nice tour guide. Delicious focaccia was also available during the tour.
Highly recommended.

Although there were a number of good experiences during the tour, the guide had to repeat everything in two languages. - My main criticism is that it's never a good idea to offer a two-language tour. The tour company seems well-populated enough to be able to offer a separate tour for each language group. This resulted in waiting around while the guide had to speak to one group in Italian and then repeat for the English group. I feel it would have been a better experience.

Bari Food for Thought - Bari walking tour was short on history of old town but Lydia did provide each person with an ice cream cone or cup, focaccia pizza slice and a wonderful local musician playing Bari music. I didn’t enjoy that the tour was in Italian and English as it was hard to focus!
I would recommend tour for food and music not history or facts of Bari Old Town.
You also begin tour at a Bike Store and was easy to find. Remember to check in as they are chaotic at beginning.

Meh - Guide was fine, tour was OK. Did group with both English and Spanish, so spent fair amount of time waiting for translation. Description was vague, so hit some highlights. Fair amount of tour was self-guided, not terribly helpful ("take 20 minutes at St. Nicholas," "take 15 minutes in pasta street," or wasted (wait 10-15 minutes while entire group individually ordered gelato).

Not satisfying - Very very light content for the price paid; departure 3:15 p.m. end 4:45 p.m., for a given duration of 2 hours. Including the ice cream stop and the musical episode, nothing historic.
The guide is certainly friendly but that is not enough.

Very bad quality of the tour, almost no information py - This is the first time I write a bad review.
The tour guide Naomi provided so little information, so the tour was completely useless for us. It was in Italian and English, although the tickets stayed English. Nothing was said about Bari, Puglia or Italian history.
We had used Viator in the past and assumed that it provides some basic quality, but this time failed badly.
Would like get the refund, otherwise we will be better off with the free tours where guides work for the tips.
