Enjoyed this tour - Read previous review before purchasing so I knew to download first - after that easy peasy. This small city is as enjoyable as visiting Rome without the extra 2 hours on the train. Fascinating history and outstanding buildings.

This was not a regular tour rather... - <p>This was not a regular tour rather an Audio Tour. Firstly my wife and I had to download the audio material on a suitable media in our case, an MP3 player and Kindle Fire, and map of Bari. From the cruise port to old city was not to far but in the middle of the formatted tour. Also the old town is a little confusing and not well marked. When we began the audio it was too thorough and extensive so we simply conducted our own tour. After having spend 4 weeks in several European cities and having guided tours, next time we return to Corfu, we would opt for a guided tour with a knowledgeable guide.</p>

Self guided walking tour of Bari - We have taken dozens of self guided walking tours. This was probably our worst touring experience. The download process was terrible! You should continue to utilize a portable earphone system. The audio was impossible to hear. Too much background noise. The walking directions were totally inadequate. I would not recommend this to anyone.
