Eleonora was excellent, timely and very pleasant. She was very knowledgable and helpful. Took time to answer questions and was also very accommodating. It was a very warm day and she was able to move our meeting time up so as to avoid the hottest part of the day.

This was one of the best tours of our South Italy trip. Lecce was a great place, and it was even greater with the understanding in history and detail, which made possible by our knowledgeable guide, Ilenia. She led our walk through many interesting places and even went beyond our expectations by going into some churches which, as I understood, was not previously included in our tour. It was truly enjoyable and informative.

Seeing the comparisons between the four Baroque churches we saw. Having a guide who was a local and also with a deep understanding of the Baroque period.
