    Lecce Jewish History

    Pamela_S, Sep 2025
    Very interesting and something not many people know about. It is an important history of Lecce and Judaism in Puglia.

    A must see

    Important tourist attraction for all tourists to the Puglia region. A great guide and a friendly way to meet people from all over the world.

    Beware Viator instructions!!

    If you are driving to Leche for the tour, don't follow Viator instructions. This will take you into the ZTL restricted area and you will be fined 90 euros!!! We were frustrated, lost and very annoyed that Viator did not warn us of this

    Interesting Tour

    Being Jewish, I was especially excited about this tour. I thought the museum was interesting and walking around the Jewish quarter was cool. I also enjoyed the films they showed us. Unfortunately, I didn’t connect with the tourguide as much as I did on our other tours. She was very sweet, but not overly enthusiastic. Regardless, I would still recommend this tour.

    Jewish Tour well worth the time!

    Terrific informative tour. Added a significant dimension to our understanding of the history of Lecce and the Jews of Salento in ancient times as well as post WWII. Francesco was knowledgeable and very engaging. Grazie!

    Excellent

    Claudia was a fantastic guide. She had a wonderful empathy and knowledge of life for the Jewish people through the various eras. Very interesting and would encourage one to learn more about how they survived. The pace and information were perfect. Thank you.
