Must book tour from Lecce - If this tour is available you must book! Bob was wonderful! He is so knowledgeable and takes you to the very best spots! We were a family of 5 and he and his friend Maurizio drove us. We saw so many wonderful sites and we felt like we were with a family member or close friend showing us around rather than just a tour. My 3 boys said it was their favorite tour we did in Italy! Gorgeous views, incredible history, beautiful beaches and delicious gelato! Thank you so much for a wonderful day!

Don’t miss this amazing experience! - This is such an individual experience and you get to see so many iconic areas of the Salento coast. Roberto (Bob) is the most amazing host and gives you plenty of time to explore each area. He was helpful, informative and very friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Highly recommended- this has been the best tour we have ever taken. Grazie Mille Roberto we will definitely send our friends your way!

Excellent visit - We had an excellent sightseeing tour in the company of Bob. Very professional, friendly, and attentive, he made this discovery particularly enjoyable. Despite the intense heat, he always ensured our comfort by adjusting the car's air conditioning and being very considerate throughout the day. His explanations were clear, interesting, and enriched with numerous anecdotes. A big thank you to Bob for his kindness, availability, and sense of hospitality. We recommend this visit without hesitation!

Lovely tour of Otranto and the seacoast - We had an amazing day with Bob and Sandra! I did not realize when I booked it that it would just be my partner and I, so it was a lovely surprise that it was a private tour. We were picked up in Lecce, a few minutes walk from our Airbnb. Bob was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a map for a great walking tour of Otranto. The itinerary had a stop for a seaside lunch and some other locations we would not have made it to on our own. If you are short on time in Puglia, this was a great way to see more of the region. We would highly, highly recommend. Thank you Bob and Sandra!

Would definitely recommend this tour- a great way to see some coastal beauty spots - We had a lovely day today with Roberto and his wife Sandra. The tour was very flexible. We were picked up from our B&B in Otranto and ,as we had already had chance to visit Otranto ,Bob helped us organise a slightly different day. We started at Corallo winery for an excellent winery tour and tasting , and then visited several coastal sites both north and south of Otranto. Highlights were the Poetry cave and Bauxite Lake. The tour was very relaxed , not rushed at all, and Bob was an excellent host throughout the day.

Beautiful tour of Otranto and its coasts - Travel on October 13th in the off-season and the Service was exclusive to me and my lady. Mauricio the Chauffeur and Sandra as a guide gave us a pleasant and professional reception. That is if the tour is not in Spanish, but with the translator of the cell phone we understood perfectly
