Fantastic Tour - Antonella was a wonderful guide, with a passion for the history and food of the area. The food stops were great and unique and I would never have found them just wandering on my own. So glad I chose to do this. I highly recommend!

Lecce, through my stomach - If you follow our reviews, you see that street food tours are our favorite. This tour was excellent. First, our guide, Antonella, was friendly, very knowledgeable and was able to give us a real feel for Lecce. Grazie, Antonella. The street food was varied; from a tasty crostino to a “Rustico Leccese” a hand food of cheese, tomato and bechamel in a pastry, followed up with a stop for a small glass of Primitivo, with cheese, olives and taralli. The last two stops were sweet treats of pasticiotto and finishing with , of course, gelato. It was a great day.

A great informative walking tour around Lecce, with tasty morsels along the way - We really enjoyed the walking tour around the old city of Lecce. Our guide was informative and gave us time to take photos, as well as answer questions. The food tasting of local fare along the way was really nice. We finished the tour outside of the old city walls, at a Gelateria, however I would have liked to finish the tour within the old city walls as this was closer to facilities and restaurants.

A MUST DO! - I booked this tour but was informed the day prior that it might be canceled due to me being the only person. I was disappointed to find this out, but because it was my last full day in Lecce, I wanted to tour. I paid extra for a private tour with Antonella. She was awesome! She was very well versed in the Lecce history and made the tour exceptional. ALL THE STOPS for food were wonderful. I was really glad I had this private tour. GRAZIE MILLE ANTONELLA♥️

History and Food-a Great Combo - Giancarlo, our 24 year old guide, is the best. His knowledge of Lecce history is awesome and being a foodie himself, he made the tour a true delight. Don't miss this tour, and ask for Giancarlo. Ciao

Great mix of history, architecture and local food made this a really happy journey through Lecce - Great mix of history, architecture and local food. Antonella was an excellent guide, with great historical knowledge. It was quite a large group of 14 but Antonella made it feel like a small group tour, she was very kind and responsive to everyone’s questions. It was a really fun tour, and the food tasting was excellent, it really brought the city to life for me.

Great tour! - I appreciated the history and culture talk from our guide, Antonella. She was very knowledgeable. Everything was well organized. When we arrived at the food destinations (cafes and a specialty food store), we were given our food right away and Antonella talked as we munched. It was all very tasty, and sufficient for lunch. We had three savory items and two sweets. Lecce is beautiful. I appreciated that Antonella did not try to push buying anything. When we were in the store, I bought a couple items because I wanted to, but we weren't pressured as on some other tours I've been on.
