brava, sara!!

sara is my kind of people! she’s the type of person you just want to hang out with. i’m pretty certain that on at least two occasions during the tour, i laughed so hard i cried. as a guide, her passion for lecce (and italy) — its history, people, and culture — is infectious. i highly recommend spending a couple of hours with sara; you’ll leave wishing you had more!

Wonderful morning tour in Lecce

We thoroughly enjoyed our Lecce walking tour with Sara, I noticed she had fabulous reviews and they were correct! My advice is to do this as soon as you arrive in Lecce as it helped us to get orientated.

Wonderful tour of Lecce with Sara !

Excellent tour of Lecce with Sara! Tour guide Sara was knowledgeable and full of fascinating stories that kept the tour interesting from start to finish. She explained the history of Lecce and region in a clear and enjoyable way. Beyond her knowledge, she was a cheerful, friendly, and pleasant person who created a great atmosphere for the group. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lecce!
