The visit was really a pleasant discovery of historical facts that we did not know. The guide, in addition to being very patient with us, is prepared, competent and had the ability to expose the facts in a clear and sometimes even funny. The notions learned will not be forgotten. Very useful to be able to read the construction techniques of historic buildings that without the guide we would never have been able to grasp.
Francesca was a fantastic tour guide. She grew up in Lecce and knew so much about the history and culture. We really enjoyed spending time with her. Well worth your time and money.
Our guide Elvino was very good, light, empathetic he was able to tell us a Lecce that I did not imagine, sometimes a funny story full of rather daring characters, certainly a not boring tour. I recommend it to all those who want to visit Lecce and discover its wonders!
All very exhaustive the guide illustrated well in a short time making us imagine what he told us
Pleasant, interesting and instructive, to recommend, the very prepared guide was exhaustive allowing you to know the highlights of the city
On a historical journey to discover Baroque Lecce through the always precise and rich in detail narration of the talented Francesca.
With a friend we booked a group tour in Italian of Lecce Baroque and visit to the Jewish museum with Civitatis. Luigi is a passionate guide, helpful and prepared both on his city, and on historical-literary aspects.
Francesca was a great guide and gave us a great insight into the history of Lecce. Definitely recommended if you want to learn a bit more about this wonderful city.
"Our cycling tour to Gallipoli was an absolute delight, thanks to our guide Marco and his understudy Ashling. From start to finish, safety was prioritized, and the bikes and helmets provided were top-notch. The route was well planned, offering breathtaking views of the coastline and a perfect blend of challenge and leisure. Our guide's extensive knowledge of the area's history, culture, and hidden gems added to our enjoyment of the day. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Gallipoli on two wheels with added time for a swim off one of the many beautiful beaches.
Bravura and professionalism from Elvino. We immersed ourselves in the history of the city told in a simple and effective way. Lecce is elegant and magical.
