Tour in Bari on foot

The guided tour in the historic center of Bari includes a visit to important places in the historic centre. During the walk you will discover the culture of Bari, its history, its folklore, its dear relics. We will talk about the Bari cuisine, its typical dishes, traditions and curiosities. You will get to know the historical figures who have changed the history of Bari. You will know the narrow streets that the inhabitants will surely know but travelers hardly know. The guided tour is carried out by a licensed tour guide with 10 years of experience. I am Belarusian. I have lived in Italy for 20 years. In 2016 I wrote and published the book «Tourist guide on Bari». In my spare time I paint pictures in a workshop of master Francesco Cacace. I planned the routes considering the curiosities and interests of the travellers. You will feel both the historical, cultural, but also traditions and folklore of the place. At the end of the visit you will have learned the life of Bari in all its facets.
