Great tour. Angela is an exceptional tour guide who showed us some of the most important sites and provided the context and knowledge to appreciate Lecce. She took us into some great shops that we later visited and made purchases. Angela went above and beyond to ensure an incredible experience. Thank you, Angela.

Angela was a fount of friendly knowledge about Lecce. She covered topics that ranged from cultural, historic, architectural, shopping, and gastronomy in a well organized walk through the old city. Her love of the city and this region of Italy was as infectious as it was informative. .
