All right. - Maurizio and his wife are particularly nice, the trip is very nice and the places are beautiful. If you’re travelling without a car, and before the summer buses come into service, it’s a worthwhile option!

Amazing day trip! 10/10 would recommend. - We had an amazing time with Bobby and his wife on this tour. With limited transport options to the coast from Lecce, this was a great way to see a range of beautiful beaches - Bobby knew the most scenic (and hidden) spots to visit, tips for local restaurants (and according to my husband - best gelato) and made us a map of all the highlights to see in Otranto. He even provided beach chairs and umbrellas! The tour was really well paced and flexible, with plenty of time to see and relax in each spot, and was adaptable to what we were interested in. Bobby was very easy to communicate with and it was lovely to spend time with him and his wife on our private adventure! Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in seeing the beautiful coastline.

Roberto is the best host! - From the minute I booked our day tour with Roberto, I knew I made the right choice. He was very communicative from the start and had great suggestions on what we should see. Having never traveled to this area before, we relied on his recommendations and they were spot on! We had the best day with Roberto! Besides being such a nice and kind person, he really made us feel at home in his beloved Otranto coast. This was the best day of our trip to Puglia. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Roberto! Grazie mille!!

Amazing experience with an amazing host - Roberto was an amazing host, he went above and beyond to make sure our experience was top notch. Between making reservations for us and taking us to hidden beaches only locals know. His English is very good and he was not just a tour guide, he very quickly became a friend. Will definitely see him again when we’re back in lecce!

The ONLY way to discover the Salento region - I am writing this review only two hours after finishing a fantastic day with Roberto. I have been traveling around Puglia as a solo traveler without a car, which has not been easy and very tiresome. There are typically no direct bus/train routes which means lots of travel time and I have found myself stranded more than once by buses never arriving. So I decided that I would do Otranto differently…and I’m so glad I came across Roberto. He made the day effortless, taking me wherever I wanted to go, waiting in each spot as long as I wished. And he knew the special hidden paths to the beach! There was not too much time spent in the car but the time we were driving passed with friendly, cheerful chatter. Highly recommend if you want a stress free and flexible day in very good company!

Amazing day tour with an even better host. - We had an amazing day tour with our host, Bob, exploring Otranto and some surrounding beaches. Bob's deep knowledge of the region brought its history and culture to life at every turn. We discovered hidden gems, savored local cuisine, and enjoyed stunning views, making it a truly unforgettable experience. By the end of it Bob was no longer just our host, but has become a longstanding friend.

A great day out guided by an expert - It was fantastic to have our own friendly and professional driver who has lived in the area all his life and could give us fascinating and detailed information as he drove us to specially selected destinations for us to enjoy such a varied, educational and fun-packed day.

Fantastic day out! - We had the best day out with Bob and his lovely wife Sandra. This is the perfect way to get around the Salento coast if you do not plan to hire a car. Bob was able to bring us to many beautiful beaches you would only hear of as a local and fill us in on the various landmarks in the area. He was very flexible and happy to amend the trip as we liked. I highly recommend this day out for couples or small families. Thanks Bob and Sandra, Niamh and Evan 😊🇮🇪
