An amazing experience discovering the forgotten city of Rudiae - One of the best tours we have done! Seeing the forgotten and lost city of Rudiae was incredibly interesting. Mauricio, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, funny and engaging. We sat down in the middle of the amphitheater while he told us the history of the place and we watched the stars. It was just magical. We would recommend it to anyone.

Great experience! - Beautiful evening... There is something magical about the starry sky above the old ruins and with the stories of Mauricio the whole area comes alive again. Another very different thing after a day in the bustling city centre of Lecce.
I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Magical Evening of History - Magical evening with our excellent host Mauricio learning about the ancient history of Salento. The story is presented with passion in easy and humourous manner. Sunset at this site is wonderful and enhanced by the local flora, fauna and wildlife. Go and see for yourself.
