We were accompanied on this journey to discover the secret Lecce by Elvino.... very knowledgeable and made the visit very enjoyable.... I recommend him to everyone
We did the ghost tour of Lecce just last night and it was a unique experience, rich in beauty .. thanks to our guide who accompanied us with professionalism on this trip!!
Exciting and interesting visit Our guide Emanuela , well prepared , led us to discover corners of the city hidden from the eye of the tourist with great enthusiasm and clarity. A nice experience, to repeat..... with other tours. Congratulations from my son
Beautiful experience. Exceptional driving. Two hours literally flying. We had seen Baroque Lecce but secret Lecce is very intriguing.
Beautiful city with magnificent buildings and facilities, make sure you wander the streets - of particular interest is the excavation of a Roman amphitheatre colosseum in Piazza San Oronzo. Enjoy the Monday and Friday fruit, veg and flea markets on Viale dello Stadio and the Antiques market XX Settembre, held last Sunday of every month. Plenty of cafes and trattorias with abundant paid and street parking.Beautiful place to admire sights and smells.
Amazing Esperenzq! Passionate prepared intriguing Elvino allows you to visit Lecce in an original and enriching way
