Let me start by saying that we really enjoyed our tour with Francesca. She was on time and greeted us with a smile. Her English is very good. She shared interesting stories and even kept us cool in shady areas during our walk. I was very impressed that she stopped several times for our photo ops. The town of Lecce is very charming and I wished that we had more time to visit. Francesca was very informative about local beaches and restaurants. She was very helpful in recommending a few Beach Clubs in the area. I highly recommend Francesca for your any tours. She is a lovely kind person with alot of patience We enjoyed our tour of Lecce. Thanks again Amazing tour with Francesca

Francesca is a warm, knowledgeable, flexible guide, truly passionate about her city. Because of the extreme heat the day of our tour, she was able to adapt the tour to our needs while never omitting any historical or cultural information. I will recommend her to my friends who are coming to Lecce in the fall. A Thoroughly Enjoyable Tour

Eleonora provides a unique experience tailored to the individual. Her passion and historical perspective provides a detailed overview of Lecce. I particularly enjoyed the walking portion that highlighted unique insights into the churches, restaurant scene, artisans, neighborhoods, and local stores. Her knowledge and familiarity of Lecce is comprehensive and personal. She was able to provide answers to all my individual questions with patience and thoroughness. Note: My rating on the pricing has to do with being a “single” client versus a group.Friendly and knowledgable

We booked a private tour with Francesca and did exactly what her intro promised, a kick-start of exploring Lecce. Within no time she gave us insight in both the history and modern facts of the city. She’s very kind and interesting to listen to. Also she is very patient and she guides with interaction. Another specialty of hers is her knowledge about the culinary side of Puglia. From coffee to pastry and restaurants, make sure you get some of her tips for a good snack or meal! Not just stories, an experience!

Unfortunately we chose a very hot afternoon for our city tour of Lecce with Eleanor’s, but this did not dampen her enthusiasm and her wealth of knowledge. She was very sympathetic to our needs and showed us the most iconic sites, explaining the history with humour and detail. We particularly enjoyed her rendition of a folk song in the paper mache model maker’s shop! Thank you, Eleonora! History in abundance!

10/10- My husband and I have done walking tours around the world. Clotilde's is one of the best we've ever encountered. She is funny, smart, interactive, personable AND incredibly knowledgeable. The tour of Leece was outstanding. Every question we asked was followed by detail after detail. Her introduction to Leece was so comprehensive. We had the opportunity, the next day, to "endure" another walking tour in Leece where the guide, coincidentally, took us to some of the same places. No comparison- Clotilde's was so comprehensive. Thank you so much.Clotilde- Walking tour of Leece

Une visite guidée super dans Lecce qui vous plonge dans le passé de cette ville au passé chargé d’histoire. Nous sommes passés devant des monuments plusieurs fois seuls avec mon mari à côté de détails historiques importants sans s’en rendre compte et lorsque Francesca nous a accompagné elle nous a fourni des informations clés pour comprendre et entrer dans l’histoire ! Il est important de faire ce tour en début de séjour afin de pouvoir revenir sur des monuments incontournables et ne pas manquer de temps en fin de séjour ! Grâce à Francesca nous aurons un aperçu vraiment global de cette ville mais aussi des traditions des Pouilles ! Merci beaucoup de nous avoir transmis votre vision de Lecce avec beaucoup de passion.

We greatly enjoyed our tour of Lecce with Eleonora. She is an amazing guide with great knowledge of history and culture of Lecce and the region. Eleonora showed us all the key sights and told us not only about history and culture but about local food as well. The visit to the paper-mache shop and Eleonora's lovely song in Griko were wonderful and inspiring. We definitely recommend Eleonora and her tour to anyone who would like to know and appreciate the history and beauty of Lecce!Great introduction to the wonderful Lecce!
