Bari, the city of San Nicola
The Bari tour is personalized. The customer can decide whether to take a tour with external or internal visits to the monuments. Usually the guide recommends the places not to be missed and ensures that the customer can have a 360 degree view of the city, in the sense that, even at the end of the tour, the customer can always contact the guide again in case he needs further information, for example if you need a restaurant, rather than having directions on other neighboring cities to visit.
