Claudia was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and fun! We had a great tour and covered lots of ground with interesting facts and lots of laughs along the way. Highly recommend.

Irene 1 September 2025

My walk through the city of Napoli with Nunzia was great! She has a lot of knowledge of history, architecture as well as classic Napoli traditions. She gave me a ton of recommendations of things to do, and has been helpful both before and since our walk. Highly recommend as a solo traveler.

Rodrigo 1 September 2025

Nadia , our guide , was very knowledgeable, gentle and super kind. Highly recommended!

Fatima 1 September 2025

Nicola was a great guide! We discovered so many things that we would have never known had he not been with us. He also took time to give us further recommendations for the rest of our trip!

Kuno 1 September 2025

One of the most competent guides you can wish in Napoli!

Tina 1 September 2025

Nadia was the perfect Guide. She communicated well prior to our scheduled experience, asking about our preferences and expectations. Throughout the morning Nadia offered options to suit our interests and demonstrated a deep knowledge of the history of the area. Highly recommend this private tour!

Meeting point

Piazza Sant'Oronzo, Piazza Sant'Oronzo, 73100 Lecce LE, Italy

Quiet Lanes near Porta Rudiae

Step into calm backstreets.

Secret Lecce: Hidden Gems & Local Stories

You might begin near Lecce’s old gate, but slip straight into narrow alleys nearby. Some guests pause at small shrines or courtyards. Others prefer to move deeper into quieter corners, where daily life unfolds.

Courtyards Locals Still Use

Everyday rhythm beyond the center.

Your host could guide you into residential lanes lined with limestone façades. Some guests linger in a quiet courtyard to admire the details, while others prefer to keep moving through the streets.

Artisan Corners off Main Streets

Small workshops and textures.

From a busier road, you might turn into alleys where echoes of local craft can still be felt. Some guests pause to notice small details of everyday work.. Others focus on the layered textures of stone, fresco, and graffiti marking the walls.

A Local Square Off the Trail

A pause in a tucked-away piazza.

You could find yourself in a small square rarely mentioned in guidebooks. Some guests stop here to watch life flow slowly. Others take in the mood and continue, letting the host lead toward the next hidden corner.

A Final Hidden Corner

A contrast to the day’s busier paths.

Your host could guide you to a quieter pocket of the city to end the walk. Some guests stay longer in the calm, while others simply pass through before heading back toward the main streets.

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.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

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.

Kiyo was incredible. The level of insight and knowledge that he shared of Hong Kong really made my experience feel special and like the walk was designed just for me. The 4 hours flew by and, thanks to our guide, I have a greater understanding of the city and its culture. Bravo and thanks for a great experience.

Incredible activity, we got the village of Otaru totally snowed in, it was beautiful to see it from the viewpoint. The cable car ride was a great experience, 10 out of 10. Emilio's guide was perfect. Don't hesitate to book.
