Concise & Helpful

Lots of suggestions from a local — short but sweet! Made me more inclined to use Bari as a home base — good public transportation hub. Includes a few other locales of interest outside the city. Only negative— the narrator’s voice was annoying— would rather hear the author or an Italian accent!

fairly vacuous & poorly presented

This audiobook is just shy of useless. It rings as if it were written in the 1970s, with vague advice like the 1st tip it offers: "think of your trip to Puglia as an adventure." The remaining tips focus mainly on cathedrals (really? this is a local's advice?). No restaurants, no lodging, no hidden gems. A large public park? If I want to visit a public park, won't I find that on my own? Advice like 'Bari is by the sea, so sit by the sea and have a beer' points to no research whatsoever bearing upon this work. Meanwhile, the narrator repeatedly mis-pronounces Bari and other Italian names throughout his reading.

This is not how we seek information in the new millennium, nor is this the quality of information we seek. I can watch YouTube videos of people like me touring around Bari in hi-def, showing and telling about specific and out-of-the-way places for hours. I don't need this overstated (chapter 1 painstakingly glorifies the book series and its creator) Cliff's-notes of a recording, teaching me to be exactly a tourist.
