    The tour in Lecce was very enjoyable. Antonella, our tour guide was exceptional. She made the tour pleasant and she is extremely knowledgeable. She provided us with a wealth of information on the history and culture of the city. The pace and duration was perfect. The food tasting was an added touch to the tour and quite tasting. I recommend both the tour and the tour guide.

    We had a wonderful time visiting the towns of Lecce and Gallipoli. Winter is probably not the best time to enjoy this region, but our guide, Vito still made it very interesting and informative. His knowledge of the area and its history was amazing. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone thinking of visiting the area.

    Actually, I've did different tours in Lecce but this bike tour with Davide was really something special because he not only had an in-depth knowledge of his city's history, culture and architecture but he also took the time to tell some personal anecdotes, making this tour a really unique experience! Highly recommended!

    Museum is extremely well done, with excellent use of technology to recreate a past which was erased. A great addition to the history tour of Lecce.

    This is an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. We spent 4 hours with him. Told us a story about everything we saw. He is a walking encyclopedia. I would highly recommend him for the Puglia area.

    The most fabulous day touring the Salento region with Stefano and guide,Sara. From the outset communication with Stefano was exceptional. The ‘heel of Italy’ with its stunning coastline and idyllic towns is certainly a ‘must see’. Sara our engaging guide brought the whole area to life, with her insightful commentary. Highly recommended. Do not look any further.

    Recently we went to Italy for a three week vacation and part of the trip included a one week tour of Puglia. We had the pleasure of going on the "Five Senses of Puglia" tour which was small group tour throug Travel Puglia.We can't speak more highly of this tour organization, it was wonderful. The accommodation was 5 star and the food was excellent. The location of the accommodation was such that the day trips only meant a short journey to great towns in Puglia. The driver was very professional
    and ensured we got to our destination safely and also was very knowledgable of the area.
    I would not hesitate recommending this tour company. Monique the co-founder of the company went out of her way to make sure our memories would be ever lasting.

    I did the self guided tour. Good bike,well prepared and GPS worked really good. A nice route through Lecce city, the small vilages south of Lecce, the olive groves and to the see. Although, the olive groves are what is left of it, this because all the olive trees are dead caused by the bacteria.

    Fantastic experience.. our driver/ guide Gaetano Barone was professional, well organised, knowledgeable, friendly, and made our small group of 8 feel instantly comfortable. Our 16 seater coach, clean comfortable and being only 8 each had leg room and a window seat, and his driving seamless and careful. The variety of experience gave us a true look into the heart of this fascinating area, touching on the most significant highlights of historical and cultural note, along with those hidden gems on off the beaten track experiences, the gourmet, to the natural beauty. Our accommodations were comfortable and of high standards throughout. From tBari to Alberello, the Sassi to the mystery of Castel monte, oil processing, hands on cheese making, delicious meals and wine experiences, and so much more. My husband and I cannot rate our enjoyment of this trip highly enough.

    Great day visiting Martina Franca, Alberobello and Ostuni from Lecce. Pick-up was right at the hotel. The highlight for me was Alberobello, a truly unique place. Ostuni was unique and interesting too. The tour was well arranged, the communication before the tour with Stefano wereresponsive and helpful. The guide, Anita, was wonderful. Fun personality and encyclopedic knowledge of the three towns we visited. Using Lecce as a base to explore the region it would not be easy to explore all 3 towns on your own. The Salento Experience tour made it simple and enjoyable.

    I took the bicycle tour of charming towns around Lecce with Marco, and it may have been one of the best guided tours I have taken anywhere.
    Cycling on the quiet country roads with no traffic,it was special indeed.
    I loved the very authentic trip to the olive oil place and I can guarantee you will never see anything like it again.
    The church in Galente and the charming town and the food there was beyond compare.
    I can’t wait to take another trip with Marco next time I return to Lecce
    Marco was fun informative and THE BEST GUIDE!!
