Knowledgeable, interesting and passionate about his city - Because I had limited time, he made accommodations to fit in a tour especially for me. I was totally engaged throughout. One additional comment, his English is very good and easy to understand. Highly recommend

Lorenzo great Lecce guide - Lorenzo is a superb, amusing, knowledgeable and affable guide. We have had 5 excellent city guides in our trip in Spain and Puglia but Lorenzo has been the best. He has intimate knowledge of the baroque and much more besides which he brings to life through entertaining anecdotes Rhonda and Colin

Excellent guide to an amazing city - Lorenzo was very knowledgeable and passionate about the architecture of Lecce. I especially liked the connection between the art and the political/religious environment. We did not know much about Lecce before the tour, but based on Lorenzo’ explanations we feel we have understood the basic history of the city over the centuries. Lorenzo took time to answer everyone’s questions and was very patient with a couple of people that arrived quite late - he gave the rest of the group a good historical background of Lecce while we were waiting for the latecomers to join, so it did not feel like wasted time. We wish we had even more time with him.
