It was an incredible tour that we totally recommend. The guide was very knowledgeable and also extremely helpful to us. She took us to some places where we wouldn't have gone if it was not for her.We tasted local foods in an extremely pleasant environment, while also learning about local traditions and history. Totally great!

Every food store that our guide Ilenia brought to us was %100 correct choice. She knows the local food spots very well, since she grew up in Bari. We did not wait in the lines, plus she is very energetic and explanatory. We did not even understand how 2hours passed. Definitely we will suggest to our friends!

I loved it in every way. Ilaria is a fantastic woman! Because the other participants cancelled the program, I was lucky enough to spend this time alone with her. She took me to fantastic places, I tasted delicious and divine food. I recommend everyone not to miss it! Thanks for everything, Ilaria! ❤️

An excellent bike tour! Just the right amount of time to see all the sights. A great introduction to the city and wonderful guide!

It was great to walk around the city and learn more about the history of it, the old town, and some things about the newer areas.
