Immersed in the infinite beauty of Lecce Baroque - I highly recommend the visit in the heart of the historic center of Lecce. We were brilliantly accompanied by Massimiliano, who showed us paths and details, not always easy to grasp at first glance.

Passionate and cultured guide with insights into history, art and culture rich in cultured details - We visited Lecce under the excellent guidance of Mr. Luigi Leante. A unique tour guide: immensely cultured, passionate, he has transmitted us multiple notions of art, history and culture describing corners of the city and its monuments. It caught the attention of our 11-year-old son throughout the tour. So passionate that he far exceeded the agreed time because he was generously and genuinely passionate about his work. There were also suggestions and food and wine information to taste typical and traditional dishes For those looking for a guide that gives detailed and cultured insights
