Lecce Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Such a lovely memorable experience! Making pasta as a family with a beautiful Italian family (3 generations!) - was a highlight of our trip to Puglia. Highly recommend!

A wonderful food tour in Lecce! Our guide, Clara, was very knowledgeable and took us to places we would not have found on our own. We were able to try the foods that the locals eat. It also helped us get a feel for the old city and the places we want to visit on our own. Highly recommend!

We booked the Lecce Ultimate Street Food Tour on the day of, and it turned out to be a great decision! Our guide Valentina was warm and helpful, she moved easily between the food and the history, so every stop came with a story about who makes it and why it matters in the Salento.Over three hours we ate our way from Porta Rudiae to the amphitheatre: tasting taralli, pasticciotto and caffè leccese, puccia stuffed to order, pittule fresh out of the fryer, and gelato to finish, with a glass of local wine ands beer along the way. the portions were generous and added up to dinner.

Incredible experience!! Fabio and Lisa were warm and welcoming us into their lovely home. The food was amazing and their instructions were gentle and kind, but really helpful. We feel we can use our lesson in our next pasta making experience. We shared stories about our families and leave as friends!!

Very pleasant experience, sailing to the caves towards both the Adriatic and the Ionian, several stops for snorkeling/swimming, fabulous sea, stunning views... and a delicious final aperitif!! A must-do!

We cruised along the coast to many beautiful caves and lovely coastal landscapes. Caves and features were explained in both Italian and English. We stopped to swim in some incredible caves and they even had masks for us to borrow. We anchored at a western facing cove for a final swim with fish and coral, then watched the sunset with wine and snacks. It was a terrific way to spend the evening and was a terrific value! I highly recommend.

The wine tasting went very well. The gentleman was very knowledgeable of the regional wines. We met some very nice people as well.

Lisa and Fabio hosted a fantastic evening. We learned great pasta making techniques, ate delicious appetizers fresh from their garden, and learned so much about the region. They such are a pleasure to spend time with! We’d absolutely recommend this experience to anyone going to Lecce!

We had an amazing experience on our private boat tour. Our driver Luigi was wonderful and brought us to incredible spots to swim in caves. We loved it and highly recommend it!!

Generous tasting of four different wines accompanied with tasting menu. Knowledgeable host. Very enjoyable.

Beautiful experience, I had already done it years ago and this year that I found myself in Salento again, I had no doubts about doing it again!Staff and tour excursion fantastic, I recommend everyone to do it!

Beautiful experience.... I am experiencing it right now

An experience that was nothing short of exceptional! Beautiful tour among history, blue sea, and incredible caves. The skipper Roberto is a fantastic person. For those who want to enrich their vacation... well, they are unique and, above all, honest!

We were a group of 5 and enjoyed the experience from start to finish. Our captain was so welcoming and shared his love for the area and its history with us. We enjoyed seeing all the grottos and caves along the coast and had lots of fun with a decent long swim stop swimming in the crystal clear waters. Highly recommend 👌

Fantastic experience! 🌊☀️ We took the tour of Santa Maria di Leuca to the caves by rubber dinghy, through the Alexander Leuca company, and it was a truly beautiful experience. The tour was organized to perfection, with stops in the caves and at the most picturesque spots to swim and admire a spectacular sea. During the last stop, we even swam into a small cave: truly beautiful and super evocative. A special thanks to the skipper, super kind, helpful, and professional, who accompanied us throughout the tour, making us feel at ease and also telling us many interesting facts about the coast. An experience that I absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Santa Maria di Leuca: seeing the coast from the sea is a whole different thing! 💙🌊
