A 2-hour Bari Old Town walking tour with a local guide. See San Nicola, Pasta Street, the Swabian Castle exterior, and taste local food.

“Our guide Guilia was brilliant. She had lots of personality and good humour. The tour was very interesting and we enjoyed all the stops. One of the highlights was a slice of focaccia from the best focaccia maker in all of Italy! Overall, I would fully recommend this tour. The one challenge was the size of the group, I counted just under 30 people!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 660 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $72

“Really great tour! Vincenzo was very nice and helpful. We started visiting the main places in Bari and then we made orecchiette which was super fun but not easy as I thought it would be which made it even more interesting. We then had some pasta and wine which were good. Not sure it’s worth 39€, but I would still recommend it if you want to have the full experience in Bari! 30/32€ would be a great price to pay for this experience :)”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 343 reviews · from $34

A 2-hour guided walk through the Sassi di Matera with a cave house and frescoed rock church, led by expert local guides.

“I highly recommend booking a guide tour in Matera. There is so much stuff to learn just from walking through the old city, that you would never discover without a proffesional eye. Gaetano was an incredible tour guide. He explained everything so well in a perfect English, made sure everyone hears him through the headphones, and stays in the shade where possible. He spoke so passionate about Matera’s people and history. He gave a lot of insights into how life looked like in this city across history and we haven’t felt bored or overwhelmed with information at all. It can get very hot so better book morning or afternoon tour…”

“The tour was great . However, I paid for 2 people although I was the only one taking the tour. And this was because when I signed for the tour a minimum of 2 persons was required for booking. Yesterday’s tour was attended by 9 people including me so I request the refund of 1 ticket. Otherwise, I will make the practice public so other people would know what to expect . I mentioned this to Guido our guide and we said he was trying to resolve the issue. Surprise me with a good outcome with a favorable resolution of this situation. I believe you do not need to make…”
