Great Hospitality

This was a very fun and educational activity. We were welcomed into the bistro, which was closed for other guests during this time. Making the pasta was fun and educational. Included today were three glasses of wine and a three course meal, centered around the pasta we made.

Beautiful way to see the Salento region

Excellent way to see the entire southern area of Salento. Four main stops with plenty of time to get a feel for each area. Some in our group even had a chance to swim in both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas! Our driver and guide Stefano was fabulous! Full of information and great personality as well. One thing I really appreciated was he pointed out about three different place to get lunch, and then just left everyone to make their own decision. Been on too many tours where they funnel everyone into a designated place. This was so much better. I would highly recommend this tour if you have just a short time in Lecce and would like to see more of the region. Thanks again to Stefano!

Special day trip to Alberobello, Ostuni and Locorotondo

We had an amazing day trip to Alberobello, Ostuni, and Locorotondo! We were a family of three and were picked up near our hotel in Lecce. Francesco was our driver for the day, and with only two other couples on the tour, it almost felt like a private experience. Our first stop was Alberobello, and it was absolutely stunning. Seeing the famous Trulli houses in person was even better than the postcards and photos online—they truly lived up to our expectations. I would highly recommend visiting! After exploring Alberobello, we enjoyed brunch at a local restaurant away from the tourist hotspots. We had a delicious platter of cured meats and local cheeses, including burrata and mozzarella, and each of us had a drink included. The Aperol Spritz was excellent! The brunch was fantastic value for money, and the quality of the food was outstanding. We then continued on to Locorotondo and Ostuni, both of which were beautiful towns to explore. Although all three destinations were lovely, Alberobello was definitely my favourite. A special thank you to Lorenzo, our guide in Alberobello. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and more than happy to answer all of our questions, making the visit even more enjoyable. Another special thank you to Francesco, our driver for the day. He was friendly, professional, and shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited, which really enhanced the experience. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone staying in Lecce or Brindisi, especially if you don't have a car. It takes away all the stress of planning transport, navigating unfamiliar roads, and finding parking, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy these beautiful towns.

Our driver Federico was...

Our driver Federico was friendly, informative and punctual with all our timings. I enjoyed both the olive oil tasting and the delicious lunch and of course the 3 villages. I loved meandering the streets and popping into churches or a cafe and I enjoyed the artworks in Ostuni.
