Meet your guide in Bari Old Town, or at your centrally located hotel at the prearranged time, and hop on to the rickshaw. Set off to explore Bari, passing along the seafront and through the labyrinth of lanes in the historical Old Town.
Wind along pretty streets that overflow with beautiful churches. See the magnificent Basilica di San Nicola, a significant church and pilgrimage site that holds the relics of St Nicholas. On St Nicholas’ feast day, clergy from the basilica collect a liquid from the tomb, which, when anointed, is believed to have miraculous powers.
As you cruise along on the rickshaw, view the 11th-century Bari Cathedral and the magnificent Swabian Castle (Castello Normanno-Svevo). If you want to hear more about any of the sights you see or if you have any questions, go ahead and ask — this is a private tour and your guide will be able to offer undivided attention.
Get an authentic glimpse into everyday life in the city as your guide leads you away from the main monuments toward side alleys and neighborhood markets that are popular among the locals. You might see women making pasta by hand or even market vendors selling their fish, fresh from the ocean.
Around halfway through your tour, break to enjoy artisan gelato or a traditional bruschetta with tomatoes and olive pâté, taralli (savory bread snack) and a glass of local wine.
Your tour concludes with drop-off back at your Bari hotel or in Bari Old Town.
