Wonderful, informative & Tasty - Excellent experience. Antonella was an excellent guide. She has much experience of the city itself as well as the history and typical foods of the area. It was nice to have an explanation of what we had been looking since we arrived in Lecce

Great host, great information and tasty snacks - Luciana was the perfect guide I cannot express enough how welcoming she was and how informative about the history particular with the styles of architecture and the symbolism of the statues. The food stops were great too. Traditional snacks explained as we sampled them. I would recommend it to anyone.

The history of Lecce in a culinary jacket. - If you want to get to know Apulian cuisine and its flavours in a short time, this is an excellent activity. Our enthusiastic guide Luciana was waiting for us at a bar where we could immediately taste a Caffè Leccese and a pasticotto. During our trip through Lecce we got a lot of interesting information about the history of the city. We ended with a glass of wine and some appetizers (taralli, frisa, ...). Luciana gave us some addresses of typical restaurants and some tips for a good wine choice.

Lots of Sweets - Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable about Lecce and Puglia in general. We didn’t enjoy any of the food. Too many sweets and dry pastries. “Wines” was plural, but we just selected one at the end.
