A great Salento Experience - Stephano our guide was cheerful and friendly. He imparted lots of his local and historical knowledge with us. Even though the weather was unusually rainy and cold, overall it was a great day. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to see a lot of the Salento region if you are staying in Lecce. Thankyou Stefano for a great experience!

So fun - Such a fun tour. We got to see a bunch of great sites sans we were given time to explore on our own which was a great thing to have been included with the tour. Stephano was great. No extra fees for anything. What you pay is what you get
