Alaskans loved Salento!
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!

The best way to see the coast from Lecce!
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!

Excellent full day outing
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.

PROBLEMS
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.
Operator response
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.
