Sara is an amazing, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable tour guide! She had a vast knowledge of Lecce and it's varied history and was able to answer all our questions both about the past but also about what to do while in town! Would definitely recommend if you're visiting Lecce!
Fantastic detailed explanation of all sites we walked through which covered the entire historical center of Lecce in 2 hours. This information was essential to understanding the history and architecture of this beautiful city. Sara delivered this information clearly, transporting us to the time when Lecce was created. This is an essential and enjoyable tour for everyone visiting this city.
We had a tour of about two hours with Sara and were thrilled. With a lot of passion, humor, and expertise, she brought the history and special features of Lecce closer to us. The time flew by and we learned a lot of interesting information and exciting stories that we would never have known without the tour. Grazie Sara🤩
Sara was amazing! Her tour was well thought out and detailed. I loved learning about the history of Lecce and of Salento. She provided thorough context for each stop so that we could follow along. She was also able to indulge our curiosities about Lecce’s architecture and cuisine. 10/10 highly recommend!
100% recommend taking the walking tour with Sara! She was a great tour guide and I feel as if I came away from the tour with a much greater appreciation for and understanding of Lecce. Sara studied archaeology and is extremely knowledgeable about Lecce and its history, so it was great to learn from a pro.
Ms Sara Bianchi was a wonderful, pleasant and knowledgeable guide who expertly and kindly introduced us to history and architecture of Lecce. While walking the streets of this beautiful baroque town she pointed out important architectural and decorative details that we would have otherwise missed on our known. She readily answered any questions we asked her, and she made recommendations on her own regarding culinary experiences. She has also recommended to visit other important sites in Puglia on our itinerary. She was delightful.
What a fun and engaging tour with Sara! Her deep knowledge of Lecce, its history and the region of Salento is outstanding. M we really enjoyed the tour and it inspired us to return o a future trip. Thank you 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!
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.
Exelent 2 hours, visiting Lecce with Sara.
