Giancarlo was fun and engaging. We learned a lit about Lecce and the food of the region. Thanks so much for another great Viator experience.

Come for the food, stay for the history!

John_L, May 2024

We loved the entire tour. The local foods were fabulous, we liked every stop. Our favorite was the Rustica, but the gelato was fabulous and the taralli, wine and cheese were also great. We really enjoyed walking with Giancarlo, he brought the history and background of Lecce and made sure we understood what we were looking at and why it was important. The pace was perfect (one of us had mobility issues) and we never felt rushed or hurried. A wonderful day, highly recommend if you’re in Lecce for even a day!

The Best Way to Tour Lecce

We had a wonderful tour of Lecce with our guide Antonella. Her knowledge of the history, culture and food of Lecce is unsurpassed. Combining a tour of the city and it's historical sites with some stops for local food was very enjoyable.

Perfect recipe of food and history!

Our guide Antonella was so knowledgeable and added a lot of facts combined with pictures to bring the experience to life. She incorporated food very well and ended the experience with a lovely gelato- thanks Antonella!!
