Luna brought us closer to Lecce in an interesting and informative way. We were able to see more buildings by bike than on foot. The bikes were in good condition. In between, we were invited to a quick coffee and a sweet treat on the cathedral square, while Luna explained everything. Even as a German, I was able to follow the English explanations well.

Lecce is a beautiful city, but if you have little time to visit it and for various reasons you can't walk far, you risk losing the overall view that this tour offers you, in the company of a guide who adapts the tour to your preferences. You can choose the duration and points of interest. And the international staff is very nice

Dileta was a wonderful guide. She kept the right pace, with great historical facts. Our family enjoyed the tour a lot. We did not see the time pass by.

Beautiful trip! The guide, Diletta, was very good and clear in explaining many things to us and telling us anecdotes. Highly recommended!

guide very prepared and attentive to all participants
