Despite it being very stressful to find the location even using Google maps, Riccardo was a tremendous guide. He was personable, knowledgeable about the area, and a true lover of the region and the ecosystem. Someone on the trip lost a snorkeling tube near a cave; Riccardo swam out to retrieve it showing his concern, not for the equipment so much as for the potential damage to the environment. The story about the tuna that got away is for another time. He was a charming guide who made us forget about the scramble to get to the dock on time!

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.

Excellent introduction to local wines by an experienced sommelier. Four wines were offered alongside local snacks. The wines were all of good quality and expertly described by the host. We would urge that you sample these offerings gs whilst in Lecce.

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!

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!

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.

The meeting place was easy to find and we began our tour with a yummy cocktail and dessert. Andre was a great guide, friendly and knew 5 languages so was able to speak both English and French for the group we had. Loved all of the sites he took us to and the different foods we tested. Ended the tour with a glass of wine and appetizers. I highly recommend this tour - relaxing and informative and fun!

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!
