Your adventure begins in the heart of Lecce’s old town, where we set off on e-bikes and follow peaceful countryside roads lined with vineyards, traditional masserias, and ancient olive groves. Our first stop is at the Farmer house (Pantaleo). Here you will try Olive oil and wine while Pantaleo's wife serves us puglian snacks. Next stop is Nardò, a charming baroque town where you’ll enjoy a relaxing coffee break. Try the famous caffè leccese—espresso over ice with almond syrup—and pasticciotto pastry. From Nardò, we ride toward the shimmering Ionian Sea and reach the seaside village of Santa Maria al Bagno, whose crystal-clear waters offer the perfect chance for a refreshing swim. We then continue cycling along the scenic coastline—mostly on dedicated bike paths—until we arrive in Gallipoli, known for its historic old town set on an island and surrounded by turquoise water. From Gallipoli a private taxi (included) will take you back to your hotel in Lecce in about 35 minutes.

We wish we could give Puglia Bike Experience more than 5 Stars. It truly was the highlight of our holiday. So professional but such good fun. Our tour guide Tom was brilliant, so knowledgeable. The Olive oil and Wine tasting was amazing. Thank you so much Marco. We hope to come back to Salento again and we will definitely do another of your tours

Beautiful, Authentic, and So Much Fun!
Amazing bike tour! Our bike tour from Lecce to Gallipoli led by Marco was my favorite experience during our entire two-week trip traveling the Amalfi Coast over to Puglia. This tour has it all: cycling through the Puglian countryside; meeting local producers who produce not only wine and olive oil, but garbanzo beans and wheat! (highly recommend purchasing some of their goods); a small village stop for Caffè Leccese (amazingly delicious); a swim in the beautiful Ionian Sea; a seaside lunch; and lastly, a knowledgeable guide who very much wants to curate an authenticate and meaningful experience. Beautiful scenery, cycling, swimming, food and wine, local culture, history, and wonderful people all rolled into one unforgettable experience. I truly cannot recommend this tour enough. If you are visiting Puglia, put this one on your list!

Lecce to Gallipoli E-Bike Tour with Swim, Farm Tasting +Taxi back: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lecce.
How much does Lecce to Gallipoli E-Bike Tour with Swim, Farm Tasting +Taxi back cost?
+
Prices start at $227 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lecce usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lecce to Gallipoli E-Bike Tour with Swim, Farm Tasting +Taxi back take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lecce is not rushed.
Is Lecce to Gallipoli E-Bike Tour with Swim, Farm Tasting +Taxi back worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 70 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lecce, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lecce to Gallipoli E-Bike Tour with Swim, Farm Tasting +Taxi back?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lecce to Gallipoli E-Bike Tour with Swim, Farm Tasting +Taxi back suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lecce to Gallipoli E-Bike Tour with Swim, Farm Tasting +Taxi back?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lecce can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lecce and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lecce to Gallipoli E-Bike Tour with Swim, Farm Tasting +Taxi back start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lecce within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lecce?
+
On Outty we rank every Lecce experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 hours - Boat Tour to the Caves of Santa Maria di Leuca, Understand Lecce: History & Local Stories | Small Group Tour, Tour to 4 Towns of Salento: Otranto, Leuca, Gallipoli, Galatina. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
