Truly a must see! Beauty that will take your breath away
This was an amazing tour given by Maurizio & his wife, well planned, with the most incredible photo opportunities of some of the most stunning landscapes in this area from Lecce to Otranto. The waters in this area are unbelievably beautiful! With options to take a rest on a beach & take it all in. This tour is well worth it, the guides were wonderful & showed me things that took my breath away. One of the best days of my trip in this region!!! I don’t think you would find all of this on your own.

Wonderful tour even with not so great weather
This is exactly the tour I was looking for. I wanted to see more beaches than we had on a different tour. This tour lets you decide how long you would like to spend at a location. Bob is an excellent guide with lots of communication prior to departure regarding pickup location and time. A native of Lecce who knows the interesting and beautiful spots along the coast. Even though the weather was a bit gloomy, Bob took us to Otranto as well as beautiful beaches (although it was too cool to swim). We had a great lunch and even a stop for gelato. Bob is happy to share his experiences living in Lecce and provides lots of recommendations for dining and sightseeing in Lecce. We could not have selected a better tour and guide. Thank you Bob!

When is the best time to visit Lecce?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lecce?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
