Overview

Enjoy this 2h30-street food tasting tour into one of the most enchanting and magic cities of the Southern Italy. Walk into the old town and taste the best local street food. Be impressed by the taste of the "rustico", soft puff pastry disc filled with mozzarella, tomato and bechamel, the flavour of local cheese, the crunchy tarallini, the "pasticciotto" freshly baked: a short pastry stuffed with custard and even more! See the jewels of Baroque architecture like Basilica of Santa Croce and Piazza Sant'Oronzo with the "Sedile", the old city Hall. Let yourself be attracted by the soft atmosphere in Piazza Duomo. This tour is the perfect formula to join a visit to the city to tasting of local specialties!

Tour of Lecce with street food

Published on Jan, 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Lecce. Our guide was very knowledgeable and easy going. The food along the way was tasty too!

A great informative walking tour around Lecce, with tasty morsels along the way

Published on Nov, 2024

We really enjoyed the walking tour around the old city of Lecce. Our guide was informative and gave us time to take photos, as well as answer questions. The food tasting of local fare along the way was really nice. We finished the tour outside of the old city walls, at a Gelateria, however I would have liked to finish the tour within the old city walls as this was closer to facilities and restaurants.

Great tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

Our guide Giancarlo was great, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the food and culture of Lecce. We walked to most of the important sites in the city, stopping several times for various samples of local cuisine . Great tour!

A MUST DO!

Published on Oct, 2024

I booked this tour but was informed the day prior that it might be canceled due to me being the only person. I was disappointed to find this out, but because it was my last full day in Lecce, I wanted to tour. I paid extra for a private tour with Antonella. She was awesome! She was very well versed in the Lecce history and made the tour exceptional. ALL THE STOPS for food were wonderful. I was really glad I had this private tour. GRAZIE MILLE ANTONELLA♥️

History and Food-a Great Combo

Published on Oct, 2024

Giancarlo, our 24 year old guide, is the best. His knowledge of Lecce history is awesome and being a foodie himself, he made the tour a true delight. Don't miss this tour, and ask for Giancarlo. Ciao
