This walking tour is lead along the streets of the historic center of the town. You will discover all the city's beauty through a local perspective and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the place, exalted by the colour of the local sun kissed "tufigna stone". You will feel all the good vibes of the leccese friendly people and the tasty smell of the local food in the air. The whole tour is lead by a real authentic local leccese tour guide (myself!), born and raised in Lecce!
