Very knowledgeable tour guide. However the tour was given in 3 languages, meaning there were very long standing around times while the guide had to repeat the same info 3 times. The museum/underground tour part is completely self guided. The local food and wine tasting at the end was not worth it.
It's a very entertaining experience, where Sofia (the guide) provides a lot of information, with great cordiality and friendliness; everything is close and easy to walk (even on a sunny day)
Great walking tour with Sofia. Lots of good information as she is very knowledgeable about all things Lecce. The underground museum tour was fascinating! Highly recommend this tour.
Sofia did a great job! It is recommended.
I had a lovely trip with my guide Sofia. She was knowledgeable personable and excellent guide. Saw many areas of interest in Lecce. Nice to end with glass of wine in the very interesting museum
We had Andrea as our guide and he was very informative and passionate about the whole experience. He opened up the history of Lecce and gave a great insight into the underground archeological find which we got to walk through. The wine tasting and snacks were a great end to the tour. We’d highly recommend it.
Interesting overview of the city and a subterranean museum, Sofia a knowledgable and friendly guide. But 16 too big a group, and parallel translation into French meant we were very slow. 15 minutes late starting too due to couple being given wrong start point.
Beautiful Tour, well organized and very competent guides.
