Very bad organization

RobertoC_B, Sep 2025

I paid 280 Euros for a private tour scheduled for 10am (myself and my wife) Then I got a message asking to reschedule for 11am, to what I agreed When I showed up at 10:50 I was informed there are no guides available I was offered a group tour that was overcrowed and we could barely hear the guide

We all would have liked...

Laurie_P, Oct 2023

We all would have liked more about the history of Lecce and the buildings and less about the cafes and shopping stops.

Worthwhile!

Vicki_G, Sep 2023

Our guide Christian was excellent. We gained a better appreciation of this amazing city. I would definitely recommend.

Nicola_G, Aug 2023

Eleonora was excellent, timely and very pleasant. She was very knowledgable and helpful. Took time to answer questions and was also very accommodating. It was a very warm day and she was able to move our meeting time up so as to avoid the hottest part of the day.

Amazing Tour of Lecce with Eleanor

Robert_R, Oct 2022

Amazing tour of Lecce Tour guide Eleanor went above and beyond what was advertised We visited with detailed explanation of four of the five top churches, the Roman ruins, the underground river, and local custom’s including a paper machete demonstration. She also prepared us for our self visit to Otranto and the amazing tree of life mosaic at the cathedral

It was overpriced for...

Joellen_K, Oct 2022

It was overpriced for what we were given. Only lasted less than 1 1/2 hours. Supposed to be 2. Guide was nice but didn’t give as much history etc as we expected

Excellent English speaking tour of Lecce

pyerstucker, Sep 2022

Beatrice was a very companiable, knowledgeable and amusing guide. Her English is one of the best I have heard from Italian guides and she speaks very clearly and is easy to understand. We much enjoyed our tour.

Donatella is a great...

viviene_h, Jun 2022

Donatella is a great guide, she knows a lot about Lecces history, buildings, food and daily life. She took us to the historical center and we loved her tour

Our guide, Oliviera, was...

Ann_P, May 2017

Our guide, Oliviera, was great. This venue is often overlooked, but it shouldn't be. It's far less crowded than the usual spots in Florence, but it has so much to offer.

À faire sans hésiter

CatherineWestrelin, Oct 2023

Merci à notre guide, elle nous a fait découvrir lecce en 2 heures avec son histoire, ses anecdotes, ses secrets. Cela a été une bonne rentrée en matière pour la suite de notre visite pour reconnaître le baroque du rococo.... Mais aussi pour regarder de manière différente les balcons et le haut des bâtiments.

Top Führung durch Lecce

Josef_M, Sep 2023

Sehr kompetente Führung durch Irene, ruhig und mit vielen wertvollen Hinweisen. Wir durften viel über die Geschichte von Lecce erfahren. Es war einfach nur top👍

Absolut empfehlenswert.

Stefan_D, Sep 2023

Absolut lohnenswerte Tour mit Donatella. Auch wenn die Tour wegen fehlender Kapazitäten beim Veranstalter nicht in Deutsch sondern in Englisch stattfand: die drei Stunden vergingen wie im Fluge. Wir haben jede Menge interessante Dinge aus der Geschichte der Stadt Lecce erfahren, und Details gesehen und Anekdoten gehört, die uns sonst verborgen geblieben wären. Donatella nahm sich Zeit für unsere Fragen und bereitete uns ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.
