Hi, I’m Giuseppe! I love calling Lecce home, a city full of history, art, and mouthwatering local traditions. Exploring hidden corners and maritime hamlets is my passion, and I enjoy discovering local restaurants with authentic food to share with visitors. I know the old city of Lecce and Nardò like the back of my hand and love guiding people through their streets while sharing stories of their ancient, medieval, and early modern history. From cultural and religious history to local folklore, I’m here to make your Lecce experience engaging, fun, and unforgettable!

If you are looking for a professional, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable guide who will show you the 'real' Lecce, I cannot recommend Giuseppe enough. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, and spoke excellent English. He tailored the tour to our specific interests. From the moment we met, Giuseppe made us feel like old friends. We are 100% satisfied!!!
