A fun tour with Francesca - a true local !

Laura_M, Mar 2024

We really enjoyed our time with Francesca! She was such a delight and a true local having been born and raised there. We loved the stories she shared. She was wonderful.

Explore Gallipoli on your own!

Valerio_C, Jul 2023

Gallipoli is beautiful. But the best part of it can be explored on your own without a guide. While the guide was good - I didn't learn anything I didn't already know from tours in other puglia towns.

Iliana was a wonderful...

Desiny_V, Jun 2023

Iliana was a wonderful guide for our group of 9 visiting the beautiful city of Gallipoli. Friendly, knowledgeable and went out of her way to help us with our lunch following the tour. Loved it - thank you!!

Perfetto

We had a wonderful tour of historic Gallipoli. Packed with information from our guide. Aurora was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a perfect tour.

Amazing intro to Gallipolli

Jana P, Jan 2019

We really enjoyed our tour with Fabio. He was personable and knowledgeable and gave us great background on the town and showed us many sights. I would highly recommend a tour with him. He also gave us some help with finding a winery in the surrounding area, something we would not have found without his help. This tour was a highlight of our trip in Puglia.
