Amazing Otranto and seaside day trip! - Our whole day with Roberto (Bob) was amazing. He customized our itinerary to include a few different things that we personally wanted to see. His communication was professional and prompt. He was very knowledgeable and made it a great day! We would for sure book with him again and recommend him to everyone!

Highly recommend Bob - We had a fabulous time with Bob over 2 days exploring more of the beautiful Salento region. Bob was a wealth of information and very passionate about his home city in Lecce. Bob was flexible and adjusted both tours to meet our needs including stops along the way. He was well prepared and had beach sun chairs for us to use at the beach, umbrella’s when we had a downpour and gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and visit in Lecce. Highly recommend Bob as a wonderful, kind and caring tour guide who treats his guests like family. Thanks for a wonderful 2 days Bob.

Salento with locals! - It was a truly fantastic experience sharing with Bob and his lovely wife a full day around the East Coast of La Puglia. Otranto is a beautiful town with plenty of sightseeing points to admire the scenery of the Adriatic Sea. The other parts of the schedule are even more interesting. All of them. In sum, five stars for Bob and the southern Salento!

Explore Otranto and more from Lecce - Highly recommend this tour with Bob and his lovely wife if you’re looking to see Otranto and Salento coastline. Bob is a local of Lecce and is very informative, offering plenty of tips of what to see in Lecce and Salento. He collected us from our hotel, was punctual and the driving was comfortable. The trip was non intrusive with information given enroute and being left to explore by ourselves on arrival.

Best day south of Lecce - Take this tour if you want to enjoy coastal Puglia south of Lecce in comfort and in good company. You will not regret it. Bob is a native of Lecce and as such knows all the inns and outs of what to see and how to do it efficiently. He takes you to the best spots in both Otranto and several places along the coast and tells you what to see and then leaves you alone to explore. This is perfect for those who want to explore the sights independently but with guidance without someone hovering over you all the time. He will answer all of your questions while driving and is a good conversationalist but is not obtrusive. He is a very conservative driver and we felt safe all day.

A great guide - This day trip was perfectly planned and executed by the guide, Bob. He took us to Otranto and seacoast spots exactly as advertised. The sites were ell chosen and extremely interesting. Bob was a very careful driver an we felt safe. He spoke English well and communicated flawlessly. The best feature of this trip was his local knowledge

Free ‘n easy in Otranto / coast - Bob and Sandra brought us to the amazing city of Otranto and gave us very good tips on where to visit. They were extremely accommodating with our request to hunt for less busy beaches (I know it’s hard with tourist season) but we eventually found the Mora Mora beach club! Bob also gave us good restaurants recommendations for Lecce. His English is decent and although Sandra speaks limited English, we love her for her spontaneity and curiosity on Korean culture! The car was ok but may be difficult to fit more than two travellers.

Fantastic day out and easy way to see Salento - Great day out with 6 others in a van! Picked up from our hotel and transported to many sites across the very south of Italy. The driver was fantastic and the first site was a real surprise down a dirt track! A long day but a good lunch break at a lovely fish restaurant who even made a special fried fish dish for me without shellfish!
