I thought this was about Taranto, why include places to visit many hours away from taranto?

[benny]

Got sidetracked there. What? Ischia? Nowhere near Taranto. I thought this video was about Taranto in Puglia.

[bobtenna]

I was really excited about visiting Taranto from watching this video, only to discover that most of these places are not anywhere near Taranto! I don't understand why the title to this video is "Best Things To Do in Taranto, Italy"

[jimthedorf]

You should rename this video to "Best Things To Within a 12 hour drive of Taranto, Italy"

That Galleria in the video, is not in Taranto, that is an image from the Napoli Galleria Principe di Napoli 😎

It seems like all videos about Italy, even those in English, need an Italian narrator for consistently correct pronunciation of place names, from start to finish of a video

[luigizucchi]

You have the wrong place in mind. The pictures don't match your comments and it is Taranto, not Toronto or Otranto.

Haha the pics of Corso Vittorio Emanuele are Milan!

[denia]

I thought i would find things to do in TARANTO, Puglia. The video is all messed up - from showing most of the spots NOT being Taranto but Ischia, Milano et, Gargano, etc ....

L'Intreccio delle Culture più Belle del Mediterraneo come quella Greca dell'Attica e Spartana in seguito di quella Spagnola Normanna e Dei Savoia ....hanno conferito a Taranto un Carattere diverso da molte altre città del Sud Italia....Nell' ambito Culinario c'è un Assortimento di Ricette Elaborate come la Pasta al Forno o Timballo e poi Caserecce a Base di Carne o di Pesce e di Cozze ( mitili) le Pizze e le Focacce i Panzerotti gli Arancini fritti ripieni di Riso Ragù e mozzarella....i Latticini come Scamorze Caciocavallo Bocconcini Stracciatelle tutto e Molto Altro da Scoprire.... ma Anche di Dolciumi Raffinati come le Paste Secche alle Mandorle e Svariati Dolci alla Crema Taranto mi Manca.... ho vissuto dal nord al sud Italia ed ora vivo a Zante ( Grecia) ma come ho mangiato a Taranto mai più ....io ritornerò a Taranto anche solo per qualche mese dell' anno .... prenderò un piccolo monolocale e mi godrò solo il Mare e il Cibo Finalmente 🤷‍♀️

This presentation is misleading. One could say worse than misleading. Viewers should be aware that most of the presentation of Taranto is not of Taranto, and information actually about Taranto may lead a traveller to make serious mistakes while visiting the city. The Old Town has a lot of vacancy, and is unsafe at night, according to locals. On the other hand Taranto is good to visit, the Marta Museum is great, and walks along the seawall are fine. Shopping areas are good. I enjoyed a few days there, but most of the things on this video are not in Taranto.

This producer should be banned as almost all the photographs do not match the actual. I was duped to drive from Matera to Taranto to visit the castle, which turns out totally different from the photo shown.

[maryanncito]

You need to pronounce the names correctly. Before filming, practice the pronunciation first

[meiravcohen]

Not a one authentic picture. All staged. Emberssing.

[meganstockstad]

This is VERY upsetting ! You should not say something is in Taranto when it is not!!! There are many things in Taranto that could have been shared!! Very BAD work!
