Great Food Tour Experience - Our tour was with Nicolas, he was a great guide, very knowledgeable of the Bari area and gave us lots of insightful information about this beautiful city. The food stops were phenomenal and we were fit to burst by the end of the tour, but the gentle walking around the old town during food pit stops made the tour fabulous. This tour is a great way to test some of Puglia’s traditional cuisine, and perfect to help you plan revisits to try even more food. The Octopus sandwich was one of the best we’ve ever had!

Great introduction to Bari - I had a great time on this tour with Nicholas on my first night in Bari! As a solo traveler, it was q great way to meet people, try different foods, and orient myself to the city. We were a small group (just me & 3 other people) which was really nice as it made it easy to talk to each other and find seating as a group. We got to try many typical regional apulian dishes such as panzerotti, focaccia, burrata, fried seafood, octopus sandwich, sausage, fried polenta and of course, ended the night with gelato. Drinks were included including a nice primitivo. Along the way, Nicholas pointed out a few historical sights and interesting anecdotes. He also pointed out restaurants he recommends as we walked past them (and which to avoid) and sent us a document on WhatsApp sharing recommendations for the region. He was very patient with all our questions and accommodated everyone's needs (washroom, smoking break etc) as well. I recommend doing this tour on the first day of your trip to orient yourself and taste many different things!
