Lecce Private Walking Tour with local expert guide

There is no better way to discover the highlights of a new city than with an exclusive private tour led by a top-rated local guide dedicated to you and ready to satisfy all your curiosities and questions!

Enjoy the history and jewels of this beautiful town, named "the Florence of Southern Italy". Through the paved alleys your guide will take you through the highlights of the city, including the so called "Chiesa greca",a church where Greek-Byzantine ritual functions are still performed today.

See Palazzo dei Celestini and the Basilica of Santa Croce, both landmarks of Lecce baroque. Their elaborated decorations display a thick stone embroidery. Like a treasure hunt, try to spot the various faces hidden between flowers, fruits and branches around the rose window of Santa Croce church.

Admire the beauty of most important churches like Santa Chiara and it's ceiling made of local papier-mache, or San Matteo with it's original shape: concave in the lower part and convex at the top. Discover the heritage of Roman Empire in the Roman amphitheater located in Piazza Duomo, right in the city center.

The guide will show you the streets and squares where locals go before or after dinner and you can do as they do, tasting a rich "happy hour aperitif" or a freshly handmade gelato. In summer don't miss out on trying the local "coffee on the rocks" with almond milk.

When taking the sunset tour, you will be surprised by a breathtaking view of Piazza Duomo. The soft lights of the square enhance the beauty of its rich architecture and makes the square one of the best in Italy.
