The trip in Baroque Lecce
On the first day in Lecce, my boyfriend and I took this guided walk in Baroque Lecce, which made us discover the past of the city's alleys; we were very fascinated by the story of the guide, Mr. Luigi Leante, who was able to make us understand and, above all, make us participants in the past events. Thanks to our guide, we were also able to taste almond paste in Piazza Sant'Oronzo, which according to my boyfriend the classic one is unbeatable, and in front of the cathedral, the tasting of taralli accompanied by a glass of exquisite wine.

Baroque Lecce - great experience
Wonderful tour. Ilenia was a fantastic tour guide, so knowledgeable but also so passionate about showing us her town of birth. Her English was excellent, despite her claiming to the contrary. Great introduction to Old Town Lecce and its Baroque influence - much appreciated !

Thank you, Luigi Leante.
With a friend, we took a guided tour yesterday morning with Luigi Leante, a very knowledgeable guide who immersed us in the baroque history of Lecce starting from the Jewish Museum. I highly recommend it; it is very engaging and accommodating.
