With your local host, this private experience flows at your pace—balancing Baroque icons with hidden backstreets. After booking, your host will reach out to tailor the route around your interests. Here’s a sample of what you might explore:
Start in Lecce’s grand square, where your host shares details about the Cathedral and Bishop’s Palace that most visitors overlook. From here, step into the surrounding streets to begin your journey.
See the remains of Lecce’s ancient amphitheatre in the heart of the city. Your host brings its history to life while you take in the striking contrast between ancient ruins and modern city life.
Just beside the amphitheatre, discover Lecce’s vibrant main square. From Roman columns to bustling cafés, this piazza shows how past and present coexist seamlessly.
(Exterior visit) - Admire Lecce’s Baroque masterpiece, famous for its intricate façade. Afterwards, slip into the quiet lanes behind it, where the city feels more local and less touristic.
Walk along this historic street lined with artisan workshops, papier-mâché studios, and family-run shops—a place where Lecce’s creative traditions continue to thrive.
Stand beneath Lecce’s triumphal arch, once the main gateway into the city. From here, quieter residential streets reveal a different rhythm of local life.
End your walk in Lecce’s central public gardens, where locals relax beneath shady trees. A peaceful, authentic spot to reflect before continuing your day.

Giuseppe was our guide for a two hour Lecce walking tour, which was a wonderful experience. We have been on many guided tours, but when you’re blessed with such a learned scholar, such as Giuseppe, you are truly blessed and fortunate. We did the tour in late afternoon, when the crowds were down and the pace was perfect. Highly recommended.
Rosella was a very gracious host - she made adjustments based on our preferences of what types of things we wanted to see (cultural and not as historic). She is very knowledgeable and very animated - delightful!
We’re so glad you enjoyed such a personalized experience! It’s wonderful that the day could be adapted around your interests and focus more on the cultural side of the city. Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback!
Stefania is so knowledgeable and explains everything so well. She shows you things you would have walked right by without noticing. She has a warm kindness to her and her love for Italy and Lecce shines through. We loved our tour and would recommend the private tour. She showed us good food and local coffee. Excellent t!
Some of the best local discoveries are the ones you never knew you were looking for and it sounds like Stefania had a talent for pointing out exactly those little details that make Lecce come alive. Thank you for trusting us with your Lecce experience and for recommending a private experience.
