Max was an excellent tour guide, we learned a lot and it was a very engaging and personalized tour. His English is fluent and he really brought the city to life. I would highly recommend doing this if you’re in Lecce!

Lovely day in Lecce

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour was great. Our guide Luigi Leante, was really nice and really tried to speak with us in Spanish because all the group was a mix of Argentinians and Spanish people. It was very informative and we could ask many questions. We also tried a few places to eat real Italian pastries and wine. We loved him.
