Wonderful
What a wonderful way to discover the city, with the incredible Alendra (sorry if spelt wrong), couldn’t recommend it enough.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful time exploring our city. Don’t worry about the spelling at all—Aleandra (you were very close!) was delighted to lead the way and will be so happy to hear your kind words. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we really appreciate the recommendation. Best, Free Walking Tour Bari

Bari tour in english
Very good experience! Francesco was very good to explain Bari and his secrets! We made English tour
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We are glad you had a very good experience with us. Francesco loves revealing the "secrets" of Bari to our guests, and we are happy you enjoyed discovering them during our tour in English. It was a pleasure having you with us! Best regards, Free Walking Tour Bari Team

Shamaney! Worst tour ever!
Upon arrival, we greeted the tour guide. The tour guide made a face at us and didn’t say hello or good morning. He was supremely unkind and unwelcoming. This was a lousy start to the tour. The tour guide then proceeded to castigate us for making two reservations and joining as a group of seven. He angrily told us that we were violating tour policy. The tour guide was bitter, petty, and his demanor/presentation was distasteful and offputting. He began his presentation complaining that he was stuck with us for two hours. Furthermore, the content of his presentation was dull and uninteresting. We have been on free walking tours all over the world, and this was by far the worst experience we ever had. Naturally, we left the tour early. The tour guide, Michele, did not deserve our business nor does he deserve yours! (P.S. Shamaney!)
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. However, we feel it's important to respectfully clarify a few key points. Michele is one of our most valued and appreciated guides, as confirmed by the hundreds of 5-star reviews he consistently receives. His passion for Bari and the quality of his work have made him a cornerstone of our team. Regarding your group’s participation, our booking policy clearly states that we welcome up to 6 participants per reservation for our free walking tours. This guideline is in place to ensure a pleasant and manageable experience for everyone involved. It appears that, in this case, the policy was bypassed through multiple bookings — something we try to manage delicately but consistently. We regret that the situation impacted your experience, and we remain available to clarify any concerns or offer assistance in the future. Kind regards, The FWTBari Team

Great tour!
We took the original tour with Pino and it was fantastic. A very good review of the old section of town and Bari in general. He knows this place well and shares his knowledge with pleasure. He is easy to understand and fun to be with. Thanks Pino!! The only disappointment was that we didn't get to go on their Jungle tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear that you appreciated our "The First" freetour and the storytelling approach of our guide, Pino. Sharing Bari’s unique history and atmosphere is at the heart of our work. It's a pity you couldn’t join The Jungle Tour this time — it’s one of our most special itineraries — but we’d be happy to welcome you again for future adventures. Best, FWTBari Team

Why this scores 93
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bari.
How much does Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian cost?
+
Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bari usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bari is not rushed.
Is Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 258 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Bari, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian?
+
Around 90 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bari can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bari and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bari within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bari?
+
On Outty we rank every Bari experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bari’s Ultimate Street Food Tour - Small Group by Do Eat Better, Boat Tour of the Polignano a Mare Coast with Aperitif, Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour of the Caves - Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bari?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bari?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
