4.Street Food Tour of Lecce & City Sightseeing with Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 87 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $345

Walk Lecce with an English-speaking local guide, often Antonella, combining baroque churches, city gates and Piazza Sant’Oronzo with rustico, frisella, tarallini, wine and sweets. This private 2.5-hour tour works well on your first day and can replace a light lunch or dinner.

“Antonella is extremely knowledgeable. This was so much more than just a basic food tour, this was a history tour, architectural tour and food tour all rolled into one. We got to learn so much and got to experience so many little details that we surely would have missed if it weren’t for Antonella’s expertise. On the food side of things, we got to experience, among others, a variety of tarally, friselle, rustico and gelato and learn the history and origin of these dishes; as well as stopping at local food shops to which we would return to buy ingredients to take home with us. We highly recommend this tour,…”
