    Giulia from Salento Bici Tour did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed our trip through the countryside to the sea. She had interesting information to share about the area, kept a pace that was easy to follow and made sure we had adequate stops for breaks and refreshments. I highly recommend this tour.

    I did the self guided tour. Good bike,well prepared and GPS worked really good. A nice route through Lecce city, the small vilages south of Lecce, the olive groves and to the see. Although, the olive groves are what is left of it, this because all the olive trees are dead caused by the bacteria.

    It was a perfect day to bike. Our inspiring guide Melo appeared to be an expert in nature and food. After a long ride in the suburbs of Lecce and the Cesine parc , we enjoyed a fantastic Picnic on the beach where Melo , chef in natural food, served us local dishes and great stories.

    My wife and I had our guide all to ourselves, and enjoyed his company for some 6 and a half hours. The journey out of the Lecce suburbs wasn't that thrilling, but once in the countryside we really appreciated the landscape, including the Adriatic coast where we stopped for a picnic lunch and paddled in the clear water. The old town of Acaya was also impressive. If it could be improved we would have liked a little more insight into the history/ flora & fauna of the area, but generally it was a worthwhile trip. Mostly flat cycling, some offroad, covering some 25miles or so - enough but manageable for our age group ( around 70) given that we're not regular cyclists
