A must see in the historic center of Bari - Excellent walk with Ana through the historic center of the city, full of small details that require being pointed out by an expert.
Thank you so much!

The "Genuinefuges" in Bari Vecchia with Bari Tour - Being a guide to 12 "Chickens" is not easy... but the Francesca Guide succeeded very well, with humor but seasoned with great cultural expertise we had a great time! Recommended!

Excellent tour of Bari - The guides were lovely, the whole tour was in Spanish because one of them spoke it perfectly. A very pleasant tour, perfect to understand a little of Bari's history and its main places.

It's very worth it. - The guide Franchesca was very friendly and the translator helped us a lot. Highly recommended. It is not an extensive walk and they tell curiosities that makes the experience more fun.

It's worth it. - I liked that the free tour was in Italian and then translated into Italian. We saw the most significant thing about the old town, but it was certainly a bit heavy, as it was all historical data, which is not bad, but maybe it would have been great if as we walked the streets you told us places to eat, or places worth going paying for.
Overall very good is experience with the two Italian girls.
