Luciana was fantastic, 5 stars!! - The food tour of Lecce exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Luciana, was very knowledgeable and gracious. She 100% made the tour enjoyable and interesting. She chose fascinating historical and architectural stops and shared information in a very consumable, friendly way. The food aspect of the tour was also perfect. As she is from the region, she was full of interesting info on each item we tasted, all of which were delicious. Thank you, Luciana, for an amazing tour of Lecce. You were fantastic!!

The perfect walking tour! - We had a lovely morning with Erika. She is a local from Lecce. We were late as we had trouble finding parking - please leave plenty of time. However, Erika could not have been nicer or more understanding. She took us through the old town of Lecce from the Porto Rudiae to the Porto San Biagio. Along the way we meandered through the streets stopping for local coffees and pastries, savoury snacks and finally, Puglia wine and arancinis. Along the way we enjoyed the beautiful architecture of the churches and cathedrals and the winding streets. We would highly recommend this tour.

Yummy introduction to Lecce on my first day there. - This walking tour included a tour of several areas, providing a nice introduction to Lecce. I made the mistake of eating breakfast at my hotel so wasn't able to eat as much of the food that was included in the tour. Make sure to skip breakfast if you do this tour in the morning. Our guide Enrica was fun and informative.

Frustrated with incorrect directions to pick up location. - Luciana our guide was TOPS. So professional, knowledgeable, charming & absolutely a delight. However, this is the second time the address communicated to us for pick up is different when you click on the directions to get there. Our guide was at one location & we were at another. You need to fix that as we waste our time walking back & forth trying to meet up. The guide was fabulous & contacted her boss to let him know as we were frustrated. The guide kindly walked over to us & her sweet disposition eased our frustration. You need to fix that problem. It happened on another event we booked with you several days ago.

Nice, but... - The visit was very friendly but lacked information about the city. As much as the tasting part is very interesting (don't eat before), the guided tour part of Lecce was lighter.

Good food, nice guide, focus on the wrong things - It was fine, the guide was super nice and engaging, but she focused strongly on the artisanal shops in the city center and their cultural history. The food was mostly street food and snacks.
