The tour lasts about 1.5 hours, with private and small-group options available. Luigi is one named guide praised for making the city easy to love.

“We found it it would have been cheaper to book at the site rather than online. (25 euros vs $75 cdn). Short time in Jewish museum. It could have been longer. But overall pretty fair tour with some introduction to Lecce. Other place to see (not included) is the underground house excavation by family. Amazing!!!”

5.Discover Lecce’s Baroque Secrets: A 3-Hour tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 31 reviews · 3 hours · from $53

Spend three hours in Lecce with a small group of up to 10, visiting Baroque churches and Roman ruins, tasting Extra Virgin Olive Oil, seeing papier-mâché craft, and exploring Museo Faggiano’s subterranean rooms with an English or Italian guide.

“We understand that our intended guide was injured in an accident and that Gianluca stepped in to help and we greatly appreciate that this enabled the tour to go ahead. Gianluca was clearly very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his subject however we are not historians and it would have helped to have had a brief overview of Lecce's history before delving into detail. We spent a long time in the Piazza dell'duomo discussing the various influences in it's architecture in detail at the start of the tour which didn't really bring it to life and inspire us to know more. No discredit to Gianluca who I'm sure was very conscious…”
