LECCE to visit it. - We stayed in Lecce for 3 days, we did a walking tour, but on our own, with a map and references in hand, and we loved everything we saw. The so-called Florence of the South is beautiful, - what else to say, it is ITALY, and forever the BEAUTIFUL ITALY. We went, among other places, to the historic center - famous for its baroque architecture - and visited the Church of Oronzo, the Oronzo column, the Roman Amphitheater, the Roman Theatre, the impressive Basilica of Santa Crocce, the Piazza del Duomo and its buildings, the Castle of Charles V, and the Cathedral. In the evening we toured La Villa Comunale and its typical gazebo, then we had dinner - we loved it - orechiettis, the typical pasta of Puglia. From there it is worth going to Gallipoli because of its short distance, and getting to know it. Very good experience !.

The tour with Christian is particularly recommended. - We had a very entertaining, competent tour of Lecce with Christian. He always had an answer to all questions, and the tour was livened up with little puzzles. We had a lot of fun. Thank you very much. The Schoeller family

Eleonora was excellent,... - Eleonora was excellent, timely and very pleasant. She was very knowledgable and helpful. Took time to answer questions and was also very accommodating. It was a very warm day and she was able to move our meeting time up so as to avoid the hottest part of the day.

To return - Excellent tour, the monuments visited are splendid, breathtaking, the guide was a little verbose, at the end of the tour he didn't collect the earphones and made us go back to the agency to return them, we didn't like it
