Accommodates bikers and those mobility challenged equally. Hosts (Mateu and Mateo) are charming with a great command of English. Directions for parking and finding the meeting location are spot on. Actual tour covers city highlights with ample time for photos. They give additional information if one wishes to return to a particular site. We would recommend this to all. We had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful experience with Cary. The use of a tuk tuk allowed us to cover a lot of monuments without having to walk. We were able to see the whole town in two hours!! Cary, the tour guide was charming and very knowledgeable! She speaks 4 languages and was very thorough in her historic explanations! We truly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to everyone!!!

    Lisa_Z, Apr 2025
    Lecce is perfect for a bike tour and we really enjoyed this one led by Cari. We were traveling with my 89 yr old dad who sat in a rickshaw pedaled by Cari. It was very inclusive and we all had a great time. It was a beautiful day, we stopped for gelato) always appreciated) and biked outside of the wall for a short time - which was beautiful. Cari was full of information and lots of fun too.

    Biking through historical Lecce

    Danielle_B, Sep 2024
    The tour was informative, our tour guide even had visual aids to show us more detail. Her name is Flore. Ask for her she is wonderful. The refreshment stop was better than expected. We got to try local pastries and had a lovely local ice coffee

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Thank you very much for your lovely review! Experiencing local delicacies always makes a greater impact on a visitor than the historical info alone, as it gives a good idea of Lecce today as well as in the past. Hoping to see you in Lecce again soon!

    Mattia was our guide in the rickshaw, he was very knowledgeable and passionate about Lecce and its history. His English was very good and we learnt a lot about the town.

    Great quick and easy ride around the historic center of Lecce. My daughter and I enjoyed the ride greatly and the history was really interesting. I would suggest to also offer a bike ride with a bit more bike riding as an option. We actually left the tour wishing for more.

    Having injured my Achilles we decided to do the rickshaw tour. It was excellent! Elise was a great tour guide and rickshaw driver. We had a group of cyclists on the tour as well and Elise led the way safely and with consideration for all the riders. I’m a huge rickshaw fan now!
