Beautiful City - Great Tour! - A superb guide really brought this beautiful city to life. Really knowledgeable and interesting this tour is the perfect introduction - with plenty of time to explore at leisure afterwards. Lecce itself is just wonderful with plenty to see and do - and some fantastic restaurants, we had a brilliant dinner at one recommended by our guide which certainly did not disappoint. Highly recommended.

Review of Luigi Leante - travel guide - An immersion of a few hours in the history of the Land of Ontranto, with an impressive ability to connect history, art and culture. A special guide, extremely competent and empathetic. I recommend everyone to look for Luigi Leante, also through the infopoints of the city or directly. Really a great professional.

Great walk despite the terrible weather - In terrible weather, Fabio G battled valiantly to impart knowledge and information. We managed to see a lot of the old town despite the constant rain. The olive oil and wine tasting was interesting. Fabio used good visual aids such as photos and a pointer to back up his presentation. He was experienced and knowledgeable
