Evening walk through Lecce with Sara - The tour with Sara was fantastic.
After first discovering Lecce on our own for a day and a half Sara gave us a lot of information and showed us things we hadn't paid attention to until then.
She not only gave info but was also genuinely interested in the countries where her guests lived.
I would definitely recommend this guide to others visiting Lecce.
Thanks Sara for the nice chat and walk.

A fascinating and fun walk through the history and architecture of Lecce with an immensely pleasant guide. - Sara was a wonderful tour guide. Extremely easy to engage with, she highlighted many different aspects of Lecce and its history. It was clear she has a rich and diverse background in a range of relevant disciplines -- history, art, architecture -- and she weaved together different themes and stories to come to a rich appreciation of Lecce over its long history. She readily responded to any and all questions. She has a wonderful sense of humor, too, which showed up in surprising ways in her telling of important events that are captured in the architecture of Lecce.

Best walking tour, Sara was excellent. - Sara was a fantastic guide, we learn loads about the city of Leece and some of the history of the area. Sara had good English and a detailed knowledge of her town. She also gave us recomendations for places to go and see in the surrounding area. Great tip to visit "Basilica di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria in Galatina". We would highly recomend a tour with Sara.

A lovely Lecce stroll with a great guide. - We really enjoyed this two hour walking tour with Sara! She did a nice job of including everyone in our group, and making sure we went at a good pace. She had excellent information to share, both about the history of Lecce and the Salento, as well as some information about modern day life and current events. We enjoyed it all, and felt connected to the city and ready to explore on our own. She even gave us a great lunch recommendation so our group could go out afterwards.

Sara ROCKS! - Sara was awesome, her wit and instinct knowledge of details made the Lecce's tour very enjoyable. She was the best tour guide amongst the many tours we took on this Puglie trip.
Lecce is a beautiful city better than Bari, Polignano a Mare (we wish we did not go) WE loved Matera
As an Italian national, married to a Bermudian and now US Residents we constantly travel and 90% of the time we have organized tours and she is one of the top.
Sara, cara, grazie mille
