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.

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.
