About Tour Guide Fabio L.
« When you leave beautiful places, you carry them with you wherever you go » Welcome to Puglia!!! (or Apulia if you prefer…)
My name is Fabio, I am an experienced licensed tourist guide of Apulia and among the other things I also graduated in Foreign Languages (English and French) at the University of Salento. I have been giving tours since 2002 to English and French speaking clients from all over the world.
I love travelling all over the world especially in the USA where I also lived for awhile. I visited most of the main European capitals and the main Italian cities of course...
That was, is and hope will be... during my spare time...indeed I also worked as an employee at the Lecce Municipality tourist info point for 17 years which has given me a wide perspective of my region from both an institutional and a touristic point of view…
I have been usually involved in giving Institutional tours to Representatives (Ministers, Ambassadors and so on) during their official visits and in giving shore , private, customized and small group tours.
I work mainly in the south-center part of the region, which comprises the Salento and Itria valley areas, providing tours of LECCE, OTRANTO, LEUCA, GALLIPOLI, GALATINA, OSTUNI, ALBEROBELLO, POLIGNANO, LOCOROTONDO, CISTERNINO, BRINDISI and other beautiful smaller villages in the same area.
Half day, full day, multi days, landscape, food and wine and customized tours are provided according to your needs and tastes.
I am in love with this area and during tours I strive to transmit that same love and passion to my clients.
This part of Apulia is mostly sea, sun, sights, traditions and TASTY MEDITERRANEAN FOOD!!! Then, the question is "What are you waiting for…???!!!"
Come and visit this part of Italy with me… I will help you visit the main attractions, to learn our history , culture and most of all to immerse yourself in our traditions living what locals live and eating what locals eat.
I like giving my clients a vision of Apulia from a local guy point of view including also workshops, food and wine tastings and farmhouse's experiences during my services.
I always help visitors with my personal recommendations on what to explore (places) and where to reserve (places to eat) after my tours. In other words I do my best to help you discover the heart and soul of this beautiful part of the region.
As I always say at the end of my tours " if you have had good vibes during your stay here, tell your friends and relatives to come and visit us because Apulia has always loved tourists and always will…"
Hope to hear from you super very soon …
