Sara was a fantastic tour guide! Two hours flew by as we learned about all the important places in Lecce (and importantly the best place to grab a rustico). She also gave us many interesting facts about the Salento region broadly. We were joined by one other couple, so it was almost like a private tour. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lecce!

Sarah was friendly and knowledgeable. We started our Lecce visit with this tour and it was an amazing way to learn the city and history. She brought some visuals to help us better understand and also provided Lecce-specific recommendations (at our request). We loved this tour.

    Sara almost bursts with enthusiasm, knowledge and love of Lecce and its history. We loved spending two hours with her in our small, friendly group. We were all sponges soaking up the history of this beautiful part of Italy and learned so much. Don’t hesitate to book time with the wonderful Sara, the tour is fabulous and a great memory!

    Learning about Lecce and More

    Brian_N, Mar 2026
    Such a fabulous way to learn about the city and its history! Our guide was beyond fabulous. Would highly recommend.

    Passionate about her work!

    Shannon_M, Mar 2026
    This was a fantastic introduction to Lecce. We learned about the history of the area and the different architectural styles. Very informative. She was lovely to spend time with!

    Great tour, great host!

    Ryan_S, Nov 2025
    Absolutely loved this tour. Lecce is an incredible city with breathtaking architecture and a fascinating history, which definitely warrants spending a few hours walking with an expert to show you around. Speaking of the expert, Sara was wonderful. Super knowledgeable and friendly, funny and approachable, and communicative ahead of time. Could not recommend more!

    Actually explained the history as we walked!!!

    Juan_G, Oct 2025
    I spent 10 days in Puglia and Matera and this was the best tour I went to because Sara actually explained the history of the city in detail and the importance of buildings we were passing. Maybe I'm just a bit of a history nerd but most tours now only cover interesting anecdotes and basic information, but don't really give you the full history of the areas you are passing. This tour, refreshingly, actually did this, which I loved.

    Very informative tour, friendly guide. It’s good to get some amount of historical perspective when visiting a new place, and also local recommendations.

    A 'must do' when visiting Lecce

    Raynor_D, Oct 2025
    Sara was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. There's not much she doesn't know about the city of Lecce and it's vast history. We felt totally immersed in our surroundings and didn't want the tour to end. A 'must do' activity if you're visiting Lecce.

    Excellent time!

    Keith_W, Oct 2025

    What a great find! Sara is very knowledgeable and shares her passion of history and art with you while you stroll through Lecce. She’s so friendly and easy to chat with. We had already been in the city for a day, and she pointed out so many hidden treasures we had missed. Highly recommend!

    Great Insight into Lecce

    ian_o, May 2025
    Super little tour by Sara. A couple of hours getting to know key facts about the history and culture of Lecce. Saw the interesting sights and gave the base for us to explore furtHer afterwards. Sara was funny, knowledgeable and interesting. If you want a relaxed easy overview this is the tour to do.

    A Wonderful Journey Through Lecce’s History with Sara

    Matt_M, May 2025
    We had the pleasure of joining a tour of Lecce’s old town with Sara, and it was an absolute highlight of our visit. Sara was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the rich history and architecture of the city, but also brought it all to life with fascinating stories and insights that made every stop along the way memorable. Her passion for Lecce was infectious, and her ability to weave together historical facts with local culture gave us a much deeper appreciation for the place. We left the tour feeling inspired, informed, and grateful to have had such a fantastic guide. Highly recommended!

    A wonderful tour

    Ben_Z, May 2025
    Sara is a brilliant tour guide. She knows so much about Lecce and made the tour super fun. She is funny and very nice. The town is gorgeous and we wish we had spent even more time in Lecce. Thank you Sara for a wonderful tour!

    Excellent tour

    Cristina_G, May 2025
    Warm, knowledgeable, funny and candid, Sara helped us understand not just Lecce's historical facts, but the stories behind them - the "why" of Lecce. Her tour deepened our understanding of Lecce's history, culture, cuisine and modern habits. Sara speaks perfect English and limits her group size to 12 so everyone can hear. There is a reason she has so many 5 star reviews - she is an excellent guide! Alora, grazie mille Sara, we enjoyed the local cappelli pasta you recommended - delicioso!

    Best 2 hours we spent in Lecce

    Vicki_S, May 2025
    Every other 5 star review of Sara is perfectly accurate. She is incredibly knowledgeable and fantastic at explaining in interesting ways what she knows. After two hours with her, we see Lecce differently and understand some of what we are seeing in a new way. Her understanding of Salento is broad and she genuinely enjoys conveying her knowledge to others.

    Highly Recommend

    Karen_W, May 2025
    This tour is informative and interesting. Sara was proficient in English, was witty and knows alot about Lecce. This walking tour os worthwhile.

    Wonderful!

    Karen_R, Apr 2025
    My sister and I loved this tour! We had a fabulous stroll with Sara! Her tour was very informative and she took time to let all participants introduce themselves.

    Don’t do Lecce on your own you’ll miss a lot!!!

    Laurie_P, Apr 2025
    Through our many tours through various countries we have utilized many guides. Our guide Sara was amazing and one of the best we have had. She brought Lecce to life and was full of historic information while sprinkling in humor and enthusiasm!
