Mangiare bene a Bari! - We had an amazing morning with Federica as we ate our way through Bari! She was very knowledgeable and taught us so many different things about Bari, it’s history and it’s food! Ask her how they tenderize the octopus!! When the tour was over she gave us many helpful suggestions for the rest of our stay. I highly recommend this tour!

Food food and more food! - Federica was so lovely and went above and beyond in every way. She was very knowledgeable and made it a genuinely enjoyable time. If anything there was too much food. But I still ate it all :)

Amazing Tour with knowledgeable Guide Alessia - Alessia was such an amazing and knowledgeable guide on Bari, the history and all its delicious street food. We had a great tour and sampled so many great and delicious street foods from Bari. The octopus sandwich was amazing as the octopus was so tender and flavoursome. It went so well with the Peroni beer which was also included. The panzarotti also was delicious also and the fried polenta. Ending the tour with the best gelato in town was the highlight. Alessia recommended trying the Crema Antica and rich chocolate it was such a delicious combination to have together. If you're after a great foodie tour in Bari, this is it.

Wonderful Evening eating/touring old Bari - Our guide, Frederica was wonderful. She had so much knowledge about the area and it was fun to learn about Old Bari while tasting so many delicious puglia foods. We had a small group from Australia and America and we all enjoyed the tour! Fredrica also went out of her way to show and answer all of our questions even if it wasn’t in the tour. She also made sure we got a taxi at the end ofthe evening. Bravo Fredrica!!!

Maybe the best food-tour we have joined!! - This food tour with Nicolas is amazing. Very chosen spots from focaccia to gelato. The pulpo-Sandwich was a highlight followed by the focaccia. It seems to us that Nicolas is addicted to trying good food as we do. We would definitely recommend this tour and even do it a second time. It cool to get some offside facts of the city from a local. We prefer that instead of boring historical tours because it gives a hint of the real life. Thanks for this amazing tour and many additional recommendations!!!!

You will not be hungry! - We (two parents) did this food tour with our two teenagers (age 16 and 13) and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The best compliment you can get from teenagers is that they haven’t looked at the time (or their phone) once which is exactly what happened on this tour. They were just too busy eating! We were exceptionally well fed and as soon as Nicolas met us at the meeting point, he gave us some pieces of polenta to try. The group was the perfect size (around 12 of us) and as well as enjoying local food, it was also a great way to meet other people visiting Bari. Nicolas was an excellent guide with expert knowledge of the best places to go to. We especially loved the octopus sandwich and of course, the gelato at the end! Would highly recommend this if you are visiting Bari.
