Lecce has preserved the Baroque style for years and that is what makes this city unique. But by experiencing our tour you will discover that Lecce and its surroundings are much more than what you expect.

Stefano was the best tour guide ever. If I could give six stars to this rating, I would. He told us all about Puglia. At every stop, he took us around and showed us exactly where we needed to go and explained what we needed to see. He was happy and excited for other to learn about his country.

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.

Trulli of Alberobello UNESCO, Ostuni and Locorotondo in one day

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.
