Daniele was an excellent guide and gave us a full history of the city from prehistoric to modern times. The sites he took us to were extremely interesting and well worth visiting. Daniele also made some very good recommendations for other places in and around Brindisi that we should visit.

Federica met us at the train station on a cold rainy morning. Our train was late but she was still ready to tour. Beautiful city with lots of history!

Review for Danny ... We couldn't have had a better guide for our first trip to Brindisi. Danny met us on time and immediately introduced himself in such a warm and cordial way that immediately put us at ease. His knowledge of the history and anecdotal comments painted a fascinating story of the area, its history, and the character of the modern day community. His English was great and we could follow all that he shared with us. At the conclusion of the tour, we were truly left wanting to see more and to hopefully visit again some day. Gracie Danny!

Brindisi is a quaint city with plenty of ancient history to see. Our tour guide Danny was phenomenal. He knows the history so well and tells it all in spectacular fashion.

I could have not imagined a better tour guide than Danny! My only wish is that I have booked this sooner to get to know the city and all its offerings! Besides all of the historical sites and fantastic information about them, Danny took me to show where the fruit and vegetable market was and also went out of his way to go to the fresh fish market on the port. I had told him that I was looking for the most authentic shrimp that could be found and indeed, I am now spoiled for life! I am certain I will not find shrimp that good anywhere else. Being a foodie, Danny also directed me to other places such as to find the best bread and authentic street food. I had already decided on my first day here I was in love with Brindisi but Danny’s knowledge of the city and, of course, it’s historical significance sealed the deal! Danny really cares for the city and his guests. He is warm, passionate and kind. I highly recommend this tour!

We had a great time with Danny, a local of Sibrisi who must have seen almost every tourist pass by that booked a tour there, and for good reason! He had all the historical background information, knew the opening hours of every landmark (even those exceptionally opening later for the day), gave some restaurant and travel tips and welcomed any questions. His passion for the city and his relaxed and friendly demeanor made it a really enjoyable experience. When in Sibrisi I highly recommend to go on this fascinating morning walk.

I've never met a more knowledgeable guide than Danny Vitale. I was particularly interested in Roman and medieval history, and particularly the Roman roads, Via Appia and Via Traiana. Brindisi was the end of the Appia that began in Rome and weaved its way through southern Italy. I was lucky. Those interests are Danny's as well, and he taught me a lot about the Roman influence in this part of Italy. We walked over segments of the road in the historical center of Brindisi now covered with asphalt and which are part of Brindisi's street layout. We traveled to a place in the countryside where archaeologists just weeks before uncovered a segment of the Via Appia long hidden. And we went to the ruins of Egnathia north of Brindisi where the Via Traiana lies exposed, and a farmer's field where the ruins of the Via Triania bridge lie buried. A remarkable experience with a history-and-archaeological fluent guide.
