Experience Details

Experience the soul of Lecce on a relaxed 2.5-hour private walking tour led by a local guide who knows every hidden corner and story behind the city’s golden stone facades. As you wander through the winding streets of the historic center, the Baroque beauty of Lecce comes to life.


You’ll step inside two of the city's most iconic landmarks: the Basilica of Santa Croce, with its dazzlingly detailed façade and whimsical stonework, and the Duomo, a quiet masterpiece nestled in one of Italy’s most elegant squares. Your guide will share the history, legends, and little surprises that most visitors miss!


To round out the experience, you'll pause to taste two local favorites—something sweet, like a warm pasticciotto filled with silky custard, and something savory, perhaps a rustico leccese, flaky and rich with mozzarella and béchamel. It’s the perfect way to savor not only Lecce’s art and architecture, but its flavors, too.
