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.

Great introduction to Lecce, its history and some nice street food. - We were two parents and a 9 year old child on the street food and history walking tour of Lecce. Antonella was a very knowledgeable and informative guide, if at times a bit gruff. We all enjoyed the tour and would recommend it. We had previously done a street food tour of Rome also, with a different company. These street food tours are a great introduction to a place and the food part is fun, tasty and ensures that everyone doesn’t get hungry and grumpy. The food tours are a great way to slow you down and appreciate the detail, learn some history, and help you not to be constantly distracted by what’s in the shops. Recommended.

A must when you arrive in Lecce! - Antonella was a wonderful, informative guide who made sure we had a great tour of the history and unique tastes of Lecce. 5 food stops were always ready for us, you won’t need dinner. 3 hrs, 3 stops savory, 2 stops sweet; ancient history of southern Italy.

Exciting and Informative - Excellent cultural history and local tastes of food, small group, a great way to get to know Lecce first. I would recommend for first time visitors, do this tour day one, then use it as a guide to spend more time on what you find interesting, the culture, food, history, churches, architecture, or people.

The most fun tour with Giancarlo!! - We had a tour with Giancarlo yesterday, he shared a lot of funny personal stories during the tour that had us laughing throughout. He shared the best history to keep my boyfriend completely interested and asking all kinds of questions. I'm always more interested in the food and there was so much good food we weren't hungry until late. I highly recommend booking a tour with Giancarlo and seeing the real city of Lecce

History and street food tour - History guide was good but the food part of the tour was inadequate and not as expected. Overall was overpriced for the tour . Unfortunately I would not recommend this tour.
