Excellent overview of the Salento Coast - We had an excellent tour with Stefano in a small group of 7. We didn’t want to drive and this was a relaxing way to get an overall appreciation of the Salento Coast. The towns and sea views are beautiful and Stefano shared lots of good information about the area and each town. We would take another tour with Stefano and highly recommend this one!

Fantastic! - Stefano was a great guide. It was awesome being picked up from accommodation. He gave very interesting facts about the area. He was friendly. Have us good recommendations about each town and where to go and eat. Only thing is I would have loved 20 more minutes in Otranto!

Fantastic tour of the Puglia peninsula! - Stefano is a fantastic tour guide. He was instantly friendly & very knowledgeable. It was a lovely day spent travelling to four towns in Puglia! Otranto, Galatina, Leuca & Gallipoli. He also recommended a fantastic restaurant in Leuca that we had some lovely seafood at. Would recommend the day trip if you are staying in the area as you cover so much ground and find out useful history and insights as well local knowledge. The best tour of our 2 weeks in Italy!

Wonderful experience. So happy we decided to do it. We took some great pics as well. - The day trip totally exceeded expectations. Not only did we see the 4 cities and sites along the way, but we got a whole history lesson of the Salento region. Stefano was wonderful. He went out of his way to make it enjoyable for all of us. Highly recommend it!

Salento bello! - Very much enjoyed our tour with Stefano, a very friendly man! He even retraced his steps to Leuca because I had forgotten my bottle of water at the restaurant. In my opinion, the tour would be even better if it only stopped at the two prettiest towns, Otranto and Gallipoli. We would then have more time in each place to better appreciate it and relax.
