Richer experience for sure! - I read quite a bit before going on this trip, and having a guide like Ciara, was so much more enlightening. She is educated in history and architecture, and knows the locals so you get a much richer experience. I'll savor everything I learned.

Great first tour - The tour was a great intro to the beautiful city of Bari and our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable and engaging. It was a dual language tour and it would have been easier to have one language tour only. We had a hard rime always following.

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.

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.
