The walking tour in Lecce was fantastic, made even more special by our guide, who was both an archaeologist and an architect. He had a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for the city. I came away from the tour with a much deeper understanding of Lecce's history and architecture. I would definitely recommend it!
