This Bari Street Food Walking Tour with Tastings and Local Landmarks lasts about three hours and covers approximately two kilometers on foot through Bari’s old town. The tour is led by a multilingual local guide who provides information about the city’s culinary traditions and historical sites. The route includes stops at the Basilica San Nicola, where visitors can admire the Romanesque architecture and learn about its role as a pilgrimage site. The tour continues to the Cathedral of San Sabino, noted for its white stone façade; however, entrance to the cathedral and its archaeological area is not included. Next, the group passes by the Castello Normanno Svevo, a medieval fortress, without entering. The walk proceeds to Piazza del Ferrarese and Piazza Mercantile, two lively squares featuring historic buildings and local life. The tour concludes at the Strada delle Orecchiette, a street known for local women making fresh handmade pasta in traditional fashion. Along the way, participants taste a variety of local street foods chosen daily, such as focaccia, salami, cheeses, fried items like panzerotti or sgagliozze, a dish known as "killer spaghetti," a glass of wine, and homemade ice cream. Bottled water is provided, and free wifi and storage are available during the tour. Souvenir photos, port or hotel pick-up and drop-off are not included. The guide offers insights at each stop, combining visits to landmarks with street food tastings typical of Southern Italy.
