An overview of Lecce - Very nice tour with Maximilian although for the cost it could have been a little more extensive. More tour and more detailed information about the history of the city

Interesting history lives - The tour covered many of the central historical sites of Lecce, and more of the Jewish synagogue than I would have chosen. Headsets are a great idea ... but only when they work. Our guide's microphone was in and out.
