Overview of your Lecce tour:

A walking tour in to discover the vibrant historic city center of Lecce (called the Florence of the South thanks to the city's abundance of architectural gems and culture; included in the tentative list of Unesco as Wolrd Heritage Site; listed by Lonely Planet in the top ten of the cities to visit). An itinerary through the history of Lecce (from the Roman domination to the baroque architecture), its monuments (churches, palaces, squares, castle, amphitheatre), artisans (papier-machè, stone carving, ceramics, ateleries of clothing and accessories, etc. ) and flavors. You can't miss Lecce if you like to understand our culture and way of living: it's so rich in history, architecture, shopping opportunities and evertything is walking distance. I love Lecce and I have spent more than 20 years working as tour guide, nature and interpretive guide, wine and olive oil sommelier: I'll help you to explore, taste and feel this amazing art city.
