What are people saying about Lecce

Carol_S, Aug 2026

Do it!!!

What an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel like part of their family. They are so warm, kind, and welcoming. The pasta-making class was so much fun, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was homemade and prepared with so much love. We were also honored to be the first guests from Uruguay to share this experience with them! 🇺🇾 Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Italian experience. Thank you for such a special memory!

3-Hour Guided Boat Tour to the Caves in Santa Maria di Leuca

Chris_B, Jul 2026

5 stars - great value, interesting and fun!

Fantastic value for money 3 hr boat trip with a wonderful captain/guide in Flávio (ex Italian navy and very professional). We learnt a lot of history of the area, saw the caves and had 2 lovely dips in the sea. Prosecco, snacks and a traditional singalong on board rounded the trip off! Highly recommend.

Tour to 4 Towns of Salento: Otranto, Leuca, Gallipoli, Galatina

Dianne_M, Jul 2026

A memorable day discovering towns and cities in the Salento region with a friendly and extremely interesting guide

If you are in Lecce and you want to discover the local area then this trip is a must. Stefano the driver was both friendly and informative. He went out of his way to pick us up close to our accommodation and ensured that drop off and pick up points were close to local attractions. This was greatly appreciated as the temperature was in the high 30’s. The 4 towns we visited were very different and Stefano engaged us with his knowledge of the history of each and the local people. There were lots of photo opportunities and a chance to dip your toes into the soft sandy beaches. He even advised us where to eat and they did not disappoint. A truly memorable day. Thank you Stefano.

Lecce: Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Authentic Local Home by Cesarine

Stephanie_S, Jul 2026

An unforgettable experience for all!

Francesca was amazing! She is obviously very experienced and knows what she is doing. She is also very patient. My friend injured herself and needed 3 stitches. Totally her own fault but Francesca and her daughter drove us to the hospital, served as interpreters and then insisted we come back and have lunch!! She and her 3 daughters spent extra time with us and made the experience a great one! I would definitely take another class with her—assuming she’s willing to take us on again!

Lecce History and Street Food Tasting Small Group Tour

Olivia_L, Jul 2026

Accommodated vegan, great pace and tour of Lecce

They accommodated me as a vegan! Antonella was a great tour guide and knowledgeable! Saw a different part of Lecce we didn’t even know about because it was not near our hotel. The pace was doable, and the food portion of the tour was awesome! They were able to accommodate me as a vegan, originally they said they could do 3/5 spots vegan, but I got something at every spot, including a Caffee leccese for a sweet spot. Worth the money!

3 Hour Group Tour by Boat to the Caves of Santa Maria di Leuca

Lesley_L, Jul 2026

Wonderful experience!

I would recommend this boat tour 100%. The coast is spectacular and the boat itself is really comfortable, not too crowded, with just a small group on board. The captain was lovely and gave interesting information about the coast and the caves. The water looked as though it was lit up from underneath. There was ample time for photos and snorkelling in two places and even a warm shower to wash of the salt water afterwards. The snacks on the way back to the marina were delicious! A wonderful experience! Thank you Leuca Explorer! 😍 (Get there early enough to look for a parking space nearby.)

Tour : Alberobello, Ostuni, Locorotondo : Local Guide & Lunch

alexbridge, Jul 2026

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.

Must-Do in Lecce

We had a wonderful time with Guiseppe touring Lecce and highly recommend this experience. We had been there for a few days already, but with him guiding us we really got to see and understand the city, and some of its hidden places and obscure treasures. In addition, Guiseppe went out of his way to tailor the trip to our family which included a 1-year-old in a stroller. He is very learned and passionate about the region, and shared tips to make our trip more enjoyable. He also took nice photos of our family. Thank you Guiseppe!

A great overview of the architecture of Lecee

We had a wonderful tour with our guide Lorenzo. He was well informed about the architecture and history of the many churches in the area and his passion for the subject clearly came through. He was very patient and responsive to our groups many question and just a lot of fun to spend time with. I would highly recommend this tour

Tour of Lecce with a visit to the basement of the ancient synagogue

LisaMarie_e, Apr 2026

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!

Beautiful day exploring with Gaetano!

We spent a wonderful day with Gaetano! Would definitely recommend this boat tour to anyone looking for a more intimate experience, and great explanations! We stopped to swim twice and got to explore the caves, with snorkeling gear and SUP boards. 10/10 would recommend :) - Stefania & Connor (from Canada)
