Historical, archeological, cultural tour that was more than expected.

Published on Jan, 2025

My husband, and our personal tour guide booked a tour, specifically to see the underground museum. Max, our guide was highly informative and quite knowledgeable about the history of Lecce's Jewish population as well as the Catholic churches describing its architecture. Also included in the tour was visiting the archeological sites that were discovered by accident.

Awe and wonder explained beautifully

Visiting Lecce was already breathtaking, then coupled with Mr Luigi Bianco's insights, explanations and amusing chronicles made it even more memorable. His delivery was engaging, fruitful and kept us wanting for more information and historical details. He made us and another couple (so it was quite an intimate group) comprehend Lecce's architectural (internal and external), religious and historical value. Two hours just flew by. I really wouldn't have minded at all if it had been longer! Mr Bianco was brilliant - highly recommended!
