Perfect day trip from Lecce - This was a Sunday tour, so no wine tasting. Great, I can taste wine for free in a million places. Roberto picked us up only about a block away from our BnB, as close as he could get with a car. Since it was Sunday, he had his wife riding shotgun and she was a delight to have along. Roberto has a reasonable grasp of English so he was a real guide rather than just a driver. He allowed us plenty of time at each stop to see the sights and also gave us easy to read maps so we could explore on our own. We especially enjoyed Gallipoli. I’d recommend walking to the far side of the town for lunch away from the tourists. Our last stop was a jaw dropper. Galatina, Italy. The Basilica of Santa Catarina d’ Alessandra, is perhaps the most unique church in all of S. Italy. And Roberto got us into areas that are usually not seen by the average tourist. When Roberto and Sandra took us back to our BnB, they stopped and waited at a grocery store so we could get snacks for the next days train ride. Such nice people. I can’t recommend this tour enough. The day was perfect. I think Roberto likes it when there are only two guests, but he did say he can handle up to six people with advanced notice. And he will tailor the day to your interests.

Worthwhile, Safe Italian Adventure - This tour was somewhat of a gamble for my husband and me. We’ve never spent 6 hours on a small road trip with strangers before! However, it proved to be safe, connective, and visually intriguing experience. Roberto “Bob” and his wife, Sandra, picked us up promptly from our hotel in Lecce. His English speaking skills made up for our poor Italian, but the two of them have such calm, affable personalities, you connect with them regardless. His vehicle was great for the 4 of us total, including Bob and Sandra in the front and us in the backseat. In each of the 3 cities on our route, Bob handed us detailed maps to facilitate our own walking tour. He provided live map tracking and attentiveness on What’sApp so that we never lost track of each other. We weren’t able to do the wine tour because it was a national holiday, but we enjoyed our time by the vibrant blue sea and my husband doesn’t drink alcohol anyway. By being with Bob and Sandra, you get to feel some of the warmth of the Italian people, see historical sites in a relaxed way, enjoy the wild poppies and other flowers along the roads, not stress about driving yourself, and try out some of the smaller locales.

Experience the region - We had a wonderful day with Roberto and Sandra. Even beforehand, the communication was perfect. Roberto responded perfectly to our wishes and needs and adapted the tour accordingly. At each station we had enough individual time to watch everything in peace. We were able to collect wonderful impressions and practice our Italian without restraint. We would like to point out that this is not a guided tour with a guide, but a day trip with a local through his unique region.

Fun day trip - Had a lovely day out with Bob - we were unable to visit any vineyards as it was a Sunday and they were closed but Bob helpfully told us this in advance and even offered alternate dates. Bob is well organised, kind and friendly. Has the best recommendations for food. Thanks again Bob!

Best Day - My wife and I had the most amazing day exploring the Salento area with Roberto. He designed and organized a private tour just for us with areas we wanted to see and explore. The day was amazing, relaxed, and nothing was rushed. We felt like we were spending the day with family and not on a tour. Roberto was kind, very funny, and welcoming. We went to an amazing winery. There was a beautiful table set up for us and we got to taste 5 wines. They gave us so much food her we left full….all typical Puglia specialties. Next he brought us to the most beautiful beach (Maldives of Italy they call it) where we had free time to swim, relax and have a drink. We explored Gallipoli, went to Santa Maria di Leuca and visited the beautiful Ciolo Bridge! Thank you Roberto for an amazing day and remember to always Scarpetta!!!!

Lovely relaxed day exploring the coast - A lovely relaxed way to explore the coast and Gallipoli. Roberto was so friendly and tailored the itinerary to suit us and make our day as enjoyable as possible. He even supplied towels, deck chairs and umbrella to avoid Lido charges at each of the beaches we visited! I would highly recommend booking with Roberto!
