Highly recommended guided tour in Lecce - Very informative tour with Massimiliano (Max) through the historical center of Lecce. Super interesting the start in the Jewish Museum. Massimiliano knows a good answer to virtually all questions. This makes the difference to a pure audio guide. We had booked the addition to go with him to the cathedral with the catacombs and to the Chiesa della Croce. It's definitely worth it.

Tour many stories - Excellent guided tour. We had a lot of useful information to relive through the description of the monuments the history of the city. Luigi Leante amazed us! Not only did he tell us so many stories and anecdotes but he remembers all the dates of the events described. With his sympathy time has passed without realizing it.
