Hi, I’m Giuseppe

Lecce
5.0 (6)

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!

Hi, I’m Elisabetta

Lecce

As an archaeologist with a deep love for my city’s history, I’m endlessly fascinated by its traditions and legends. What I adore most about Lecce is the magical light that dances across its churches and palaces throughout the day, especially the rose window of the Basilica of Santa Croce at twilight. On Sundays, I enjoy living the “vita lenta,” exploring new breakfast spots, and spending peaceful moments reading in the Cathedral Square. I know the city center inside out and can’t wait to share the stories, flavors, and hidden corners that make Lecce so captivating.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

What makes City Unscripted different?

We don’t do generic tours. Every experience is crafted around you, ensuring a unique, personal, and authentic way to explore the city. You won’t just see the sights—you’ll connect with the people and stories that bring the city to life.

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Can we explore outside the main city?

Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
