Never having been to Bari before, my husband and I contacted WithLocals. We were lucky enough to be assigned to Adriano, a Barese native with a breadth of knowledge about the area. He provided us with in depth information and the history, the food, and the culture. After the tour he sent us tips for dining in Bari, above and beyond. A great experience.

Wir hatten einen großartigen Tag mit unserem Tour guide Adriano. Er hat uns viel über die Häuser, die Menschen die dort Leben, die Kultur, das Essen erklärt. Hatten das auch noch eine großartige Verkostung in einem einheimischen Feinkostladen mit Lokalen Lebensmitteln. In kurzer Zeit haben wir einen Überblick über die schöne Stadt bekommen.. Adriano hat das wirklich sehr großartig erklärt.. Es war sehr interessant für uns als Gruppe. Vielen lieben Dank nochmals. Informativ, lokal, witzig, können es nur empfehlen. Bari- ein unvergesslicher Tag

We had a wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable tour in Bari with Adriano. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about his home town. We were totally engaged during the whole tour as he brought to life not only the history and architecture of Bari but brought to life what it was like to live in Bari in the past and today. This was an excellent tour of Bari. I highly recommend Adriano to anyone who wants to learn about Bari. Fantastic tour in Bari

Adriano clearly loves his city & knows it very well. He took us around like only a local can & illuminated the places we were seeing with a lot of history. We would have missed so much if we hadn’t spent a few hours with him. After the tour, he messaged us with even more information. He’s a great guide; kind, entertaining & enthusiastic. Also, able to answer all of our questions. Choose him - you won’t be disappointed! Great day with Adriano in Bari

My wife and another couple we met on our ship, toured with Adriano 10/21/24. Adriano met us, at an easy place for us to find, in the city. From the time he introduced himself to the group, until he said goodbye, Adriano was passionate about his city. We walked and it seemed like on every block he met someone he knew and gave them a very impassioned Ciao. He spoke very clearly and ‘never missed a beat about every part of the city. My group felt like a local for two straight hours. Adriano even made sure to call a taxi for us and when the taxi arrived, he doubled back name sure we were to be on our way back rob the ship with no stress. A Wonderful Day With Adriano

The walking tour with Adriano was just simply excellent and very helpful. Adriano helped me find my bearings around the city and he provided me with just enough historical facts, cultural tips and suggestions for me to embrace the city of Bari and wanting to explore it even more, which I did in the days ahead. A clear THUMBS-UP for Adriano.

We had a very nice tour with Adriano. As we are both learning Italian, we had booked a tour in Italian. Adriano introduced us to Bari Vecchia, but also to the culinary aspects of the local cuisine. It was a wonderful walk through the old town and I would recommend it at any timeAbsolutly worth it.

What a great guide! I was traveling solo for this adventure and he was instantly easy to talk to. He was very friendly and personable with the vendors and local people of the town of Bari. Adriano gave a very smooth and welcoming feeling, as if we were walking amongst friends and family, while explaining the intricacies of how the city came to be. He explained the culture and customs of the locals (I would definitely missed out on) without a true local explaining or pointing out some of the smaller details that would have gone unnoticed. From superstitions to architecture and the social inner workings of the town, I feel now that I am closer to truly understanding the beauty behind this amazing place! Thank you Adriano! Adriano was a pleasure!

Our introduction to Bari old town with Adriano was everything we could have asked for. He took us though the narrow streets, avoiding the crowds, to see and learn about the history, development and people of the city. This gave us a list of places to return to later to explore in depth His hints on what to see, where to eat and which foods to try was greatly appreciated. Adriano is a personable and knowledgeable guide who we would thoroughly recommend Intro to Bari.

Moreover, upon our request, he suggested an amazing pizzeria to finish our tour at, and even helped us in making a reservation! The tour itself was very informative, as it included information on the history of Bari as well as on the way of life in Bari, and lots of tips from a local's perspective! Everyone in the group had only good things to say, as Adriano made sure to give a taste of everyone's liking in our tour! Big thanks Adriano, you made us see Bari from a a lovely perspective!One size fits all

Adriano was an incredible guide with an engaging personality and an obvious appreciation for the beautiful local culture. Given this, we had a fabulous 3 hour tour of the alleys of Bari as well as the area just outside of old town with French and more modern influences. Walking through the alleys of Bari, Adriano engages with the locals who are outside in their “living rooms” enjoying the community and some even making pasta! We also saw markets and enjoyed an amazing taste of local meat and cheeses. Highly recommend this experience with Adriano and the more personal With Locals tours.Excellent!

I highly recommend him for any personalized tours. Grazie mille, Adriano! Excellent experience!

I can't recommend Adriano highly enough as a guide in Bari. From the very beginning, he was warm, welcoming, and full of energy. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, traditions, and hidden corners made the entire experience feel incredibly authentic and personal. Adriano has that rare ability to combine storytelling, humor, and insight in a way that keeps you completely engaged. Whether we were walking through the old town, learning about the legacy of St. Nicholas, or sampling the local goodies, Adriano made every moment come alive. He also tailored the experience to our interests with real care—pointing out unique spots we would never have found on our own and giving us a true sense of the soul of Bari. It felt less like a tour, and more like spending time with a passionate local friend who genuinely loves sharing his city. If you're visiting Bari and want something beyond the usual tourist path, Adriano is the guide you need. Grazie mille, Adriano, for a beautiful and memorable day!Unforgettable Experience with Adriano

We asked Adriano for a custom tour of local neighborhoods instead of the typical tourist spots and he delivered a very special half-day walking tour. We started at the open air market where locals buy vegetables, seafood, and more. We walked by the train station, parks, university and theaters. He explained the historic evolution of the different areas of the city and highlighted different building styles. The best part was all of the local places that we visited where he knew the owners who welcomed us warmly as he explained how the family that owned the bakery actually drove McDonald's out of the countyside. We ate warm focaccia like locals on the go, toured a 100-year-old wine shop where they hid in the cellar during the war, and even visited the local shoemaker. He showed us the spot where he meets friends to listen to music, read a book or enjoy a beer. It was 100% unique and exactly what we hoped it would be. Wonderful tour of how locals live in Bari

We were fortunate to find Adriano. He was responsive. That is a big deal for us. We got the tour we wanted not a packaged presentation. We both had Barese grandparents and so a keen interest in the culture and customs and he was able to add richness to what we had been told. He brought us through the old city and gave us a picture of their way of life. We even got to meet a couple of them. He explained the later growth and showed us the life of the modern city. Not only a great tour, but a foundation for our exploration on our own the next day. Couldn’t Have Been Better

When my husband and I decided on going to Italy, we planned the places we wanted to visit. He then sent me on the quest to find the tours and places to stay. I found With Locals and the tours offered. We could have chosen a number of guides, however, Adriano's eyes smiled with the rest of his face. His welcoming bio told us all we needed to know. When we met him in person, he knew the answers to the questions a religion teacher would ask! He showed us the back allies of the city and introduced us to the food. He even was kind enough to change the meeting place to where we were staying since it was close to the start of where we were most interested in on the tour! St. Nicholas' shrine!! He never rushed us, took time with showing us his city. Master of his city

I highly recommend booking this tour for your first or second night in Bari—not only will you enjoy incredible food, but Adriano also guides you through some of the city's charming historical sites and churches. He also gave us fantastic recommendations for other things to see and do throughout the Puglia region. It’s the perfect way to get your bearings before exploring Bari on your own.

Adriano ist ein sehr angenehmer, kompetenter und informierter junger Mann, der sehr viel über Bari und seine Menschen weiß. Die Tour mit dem Rad ermöglicht es einen ausgezeichneten Überblick über die Stadt und deren Besonderheiten zu bekommen. Eine sehr tolle und empfehlenswerte Erfahrung für jeden Bari Besucher.
