“We enjoyed the bike and food tour in Bari. Our guide, Giada, was informative and conscience. Our group of 5 had a French couple. Giada would speak French to them and then speak English to the rest. She was doing double duty! While at each food establishment, she would explain what we were eating and how it was prepared. The food was delicious. I recommend this tour.”
