Informative and enjoyable

Highly recommend this informative tour. Mattia was a great guide who talked us through the architecture and stories behind all of the key sights. It was very enjoyable and the bikes are a better way of getting about than walking, especially in the heat.

Mattia will be happy to hear your kind words. He’s passionate about sharing the stories behind the city’s architecture, and it’s great to know it made your experience even more enjoyable. Hope to see you again for another adventure on two wheels! 🚴‍♂️🌞 Velo Service Lecce Staff
