The tour covered many of the central historical sites of Lecce, and more of the Jewish synagogue than I would have chosen. Headsets are a great idea ... but only when they work. Our guide's microphone was in and out.

Fabrizio is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. Truly, he was well spoken, informative, kind and welcoming. Took time to really give important details about the history of what we were looking. Highly recommended!

To gain a real insight into Lecce you need the help of a local, and this tour was terrific as Max help answer the questions we had from simply walking around the city. He also provided additional insight into places and things that we hadn’t yet visited or seen.
