Our guide will meet you in Piazza San Nicola, by the statue of San Nicola, ready to delight you with various Bari’s most iconic street foods.

5.00We were fortunate to have Lorena all to ourselves for this walking food tour, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, she was punctual, lively, and energized - her enthusiasm was infectious throughout the entire experience. Lorena is incredibly knowledgeable and has a natural, comfortable way of sharing information about Bari's culture, language, historic sites, and most importantly, the food! We explored beautiful landmarks including Basilica San Nicola, Piazza Mercantile, Piazza del Ferrarese, Teatro Margherita, Cattedrale di San Sabino, and Castello Normanno Svevo, while learning the stories and traditions that make Bari so special. The few hours we spent with Lorena were well worth every moment. Her passion for her city and its culinary heritage really shines through. If you're looking for an authentic, engaging tour experience in Bari, we highly recommend booking with Lorena!

2.00Not recommended for Italians. Little and poor quality of the food proposed, as well as unprofessional and incorrect "historical" information of the city given by the "guide"
Very entertaining!

5.00Amazing food experience with Lorena. She is knowledgeable of the food of the Puglia region. She also talked about the history of Bari. My favorite is the Focacia Barese of Panificio Fiore and of course the gelato of Gentile. She is lively and has a vibrant personality. You shouldn’t miss this walking food tour with Lorena. Keep your stomach ready for this experience. Will definitely recommend this tour
Great experience!
