Antonella was lovely. She was very knowledgeable of Lecce history and she was a great tour guide. We saw many of the main historical sites in Lecce and she provided detailed information on all of them, and answered all of our questions about the city and other things we walked by. This was our first night on the city and it was a grest start to orient us during our stay in Lecce. The food was street food (as advertised-dont expect high cuisine-but gave us insight into the local flavors. FYI drinks are not included!

Laura_Y

Antonela was a great guide and she explained a lot about Lecce and Puglia’s history and food culture. We were only in Lecce for a day but I highly recommend this tour to start the adventure.

With Giancarlo as our tour guide, we had a lovely walk through Lecce. We learned a great deal both about the history and architecture of Lecce, as well as the food. The food was delicious and nicely paced out in time, and spread across the beautiful historic center of Lecce. Giancarlo is a wonderful guide, inspiring us with his knowledge and passion for the region, architecture, and food.
