Highly recommend this unique experience!
This tour was a very interesting and unique experience. Mauritzio’s passion for the subject matter shone through and the links that he drew from this ancient site and the stars to modern day life and trends were very memorable and thought provoking. He was very helpful and communicative, including regarding transport to and from the site. If you have an interest in archaeology, astronomy and anthropology this tour is for you!

If your in Lecce you need to take this tour!
Mauricio’s archaeological tour was the highlight of our trip! His knowledge and storytelling brought history to life, and he was incredibly attentive to my 8-year-old son—making the tour fun, interactive, and easy for him to follow. Highly recommend for both adults and kids!

Memorable experience!
I’ve done a lot of tours, and this one was unique and special. Mauricio’s passion for and knowledge of Roman and Messapian history shone through. There’s nothing quite like walking into a Roman amphitheater through the gladiators’ entrance and then looking up at the night sky and talking about the constellations. (We also got the benefit of a lovely sunset.) Highly recommend!

Excellent archeological experience in Lecce
Mauricio guided us through Lecce and to Rudiae. It was a pleasant and easy bike tour. The Rudiae site is quite impressive and you sink into history standing there, whether it be walking on an ancient Roman road or standing inside the Ampitheatre and sensing the crowds, smells and ancient atmosphere.

Great experience bike ride/ tour of ancient lost city outside of Lecce
I went on the bike ride to the ancient lost city outside of Lecce tour. About an hour bike ride to the site, having the opportunity to see parts of Lecce I didn't get to see before and learn new things. We stopped along the way. We then reached the site. I highly recommend this tour and touring the ancient lost city. It is an opportunity to go deeper into the history of the area and I feel like I got to experience Lecce more by doing this tour. Mauricio our tour guide was excellent. Very informative and passionate about the history. The tour was engaging and I also met some great people on the tour! I am traveling alone and felt very comfortable being on this tour.

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?
