This tour is the perfect formula to join a visit to the city to tasting of local specialties!

Our history and street food tour in Lecce was one of the best experiences of our trip. Antonella was a fantastic guide. She is knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her city. She shared fascinating stories about Lecce’s history and beautiful Baroque architecture while leading us through charming streets and hidden corners. Along the way, we tasted and learned about delicious local specialties specific to Salento. The pace was easy and enjoyable, and by the end we felt like we had truly experienced the heart of Lecce. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lecce!
