This was a wonderful way to see the area! Stephan was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the towns & the restaurant for a seafood lunch and wine was 5star (compliments to the chef as well!) Couldn't have asked for a better day trip! Thank you Stephan!
We had a fabulous (and very full) day with Stefano! He picked us up in Lecce and we did both the east and west coasts of Salento. It was the perfect pace to see the sights. We made multiple stops along the way, with Stefano sharing information at every one. It was the right combination of history, architecture and tourism from a charming host. The highlight of our trip was lunch, simply because of the company and the choice of restaurants. This was our second day with Stefano (yes, he's that good), so by now we felt like this was just a lunch with friends. He chose a beautiful restaurant in Old Castro, where the choices change daily based on what can be found at the fish market that morning. This was hand's down our best meal of our trip. Book it!!! You'll be glad you did!
Such a beautiful your! Stefano was awesome. The sights alone we're great but Stefano gave us so much history on each location, so much to take in and so unforgettable. Thank you Stefano. We hope to see you soon.
We were fortunate to meet and have Stefano as our guide. This is a fabulous tour if you want to see all of southern puglia and the coast line. Stefano is not only an excellent guide, but will happily share his passion about wine Wonderful day. Wonderful tour. Wonderful guy!!
Stefano was an absolutely fantastic host who looked after us all day. He was so knowledgable about the Salento area and we had a memorable and fun day with him. This tour and in particular Stefano, comes highly recommended!! Five star experience!!
We enjoyed a fantastic full day outing with Stefano, covering many sites around the Salento coast. Highlights included the Torre Sant’Andrea, Otranto, and a delicious lunch at a quiet little restaurant. Coffees and gelato stops along the way, and cold drinks provided, added to a memorable day. Highly recommended.
Such a fabulous day. Stephano our guide was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we learnt so much about the area. Lunch was superb, best seafood I’ve tasted and the chef came out to speak with us. Great day, culminating with a sunset in Gallipoli. Exceeded my expectations so wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this your! Thanks Stephano!
We have been cancelled this tour as we had booked it for a month. We have been notified by email and trying then to make the cancellation free as we are within the deadline for it does not allow us to do so. On the other hand it allows to make a new reservation for the day we were cancelled which seems to us a total lack of seriousness. Hopefully we will not be charged any charges even if we are told about refund since we DO NOT HAVE TO BE CHARGED ANYTHING.
I'm Sorry for this problem, but I cancelled your reservation for my health reasons. Moreover, I notified you the deletion 4 days in advance. The money was refunded in full. Stefano
Our guide was truly exceptional. Paid attention to details; controlled the time yet very attentive to each traveler’s preferences. Knowledgeable and eager to share. The best we had on this trip (compared to 10+ guides)
Stefano made our day. This was like a personalized tour into the heel of the boot. What a day!!! Highly recommend, don't hesitate. Picked up in Lecce and toured down the Adriatic Coast, to the most southerly point and back up the Ionic coast in time to catch a magical sunset in Gallipoli. With a
