Discovering Lecce

Renee_H, May 2026

Great introduction to Lecce

Our walking tour through the historic heart of Lecce was one of the highlights of our trip to Puglia. From the moment we began, Lorenzo brought the streets, architecture, and centuries of history vividly to life with an incredible mix of knowledge, passion, and humor. Every piazza, hidden alleyway, and landmark had a story behind it, and Lorenzo shared them in such an engaging and entertaining way that we were captivated from start to finish. What made this experience especially memorable was how informative yet personal the tour felt. Lorenzo clearly loves the city and is passionate about art & history. The pacing was perfect, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take photos without ever feeling rushed. This was far more than a standard sightseeing tour — it felt like spending a few hours with a passionate local friend who wanted to share the soul of their city with us. The break for Leccese coffee and snacks was welcome and everything tasted delicious. If you’re visiting Lecce and want an experience that is educational, authentic, and genuinely fun, I highly recommend this walking tour.

A lightly guided tour that allows for you to set the pace

Roberto and his wife found a very easy meeting point, a 2 minute walk from our hotel. They drove us to 3 different towns and we had time and freedom to walk around. Roberto gave us a small map with a walking route for each town with different sites to stop at. It was a nice pace because we set the tone and he goes with what you are looking for. We really enjoyed our day.

Couple from Indy

Considering the weather during our 3 hour tour was the absolute worst (rained hard & nearly the entire time), our private guide Guiseppe C. made our experience absolutely wonderful. He is very articulate and clearly knowledgeable about the history of the culture and region. He is also very personable & made our time with him relaxing, taking us to the different stops @ a more than reasonable pace. We would recommend Guiseppe to everyone and anyone who wants to truly learn about Lecce, not just “see” it. He was worth every minute, & Euro, spent on our tour

Wonderful evening!

Wonderful experience! My family and I really enjoyed the charcuterie board offerings (many were homemade) very delicious and elegantly presented. This was given at the beginning of our evening along with the option of a glass of Prosecco. Then on to hands on learning how to make fresh pasta. Lots of fun and laughter with everyone. Our pasta was cooked by our hosts and served to us with delicious homemade sauce. We finished our dinner with homemade pie and limoncello. I couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable experience.

Great walk through history

We had a great experience with Max. I appreciated his ability to weave together a cohesive story about the history of the area. The visit to the Jewish quarter is something one might miss if just roaming the streets on your own. The last stop for a snack and wine taste was unexpected and a perfect way to end the walk!
