Experience Food Tours in Lecce with Withlocals

"Spent a delightful 3 hours in Lecce with Eleanora learning more about this historic, charming town and tasting our way through the local cuisine. Eleanora's passion for her city and depth of knowledge were well in evidence and here food selections - both the locations and tasting - were terrific. I would book both Eleanora and the taste of Lecce experience again. "

"Francesca was an exceptional guide to Lecce! She was so knowledgeable and knew the answers to all our questions. The foods we tired were top notch. I would highly recommend this tour!"

"We enjoyed our tour with Eleonora who told us a bit about the history of Lecce and offered us many examples of tasty local food and drink. In fact there was so much food we struggled to finish it all. We would recommend."

"We are a family of six and had a great morning exploring the centro storico of Lecce with Eleonora. The tour was the right mix of tastings and historical information. Eleonora was extremely helpful with information on what to do and where to eat. "

"Eleanora met us by the Cathedral in Lecce and started by telling us a little about the history of the area including the invasions from the Ottoman Empire to the Greeks, Romans and Normans which helped us understand the history of the local culture and foods. Then we began a wonderful private and personal tour of the city tasting specialities like Don Antonio olive oil and traditional snacks like taralli. Our tour lasted 3 hours and ended with a ‘caffe leccesse’ which is an iced coffee with almond milk and traditional pastries Pasticciotto which are filled with an indulgent egg custard. We cannot recommend Eleanora more highly. She was a fount of information and made sure we had a great time. "

"The 10 Tastings of Lecce tour with Eleonora was incredible! She was a lovely and informative guide who pointed out the most important historical sites in Lecce while also ensuring we sampled the region’s culinary delights. She also provided recommendations for other cities to visit in Puglia. We had a lovely afternoon with Eleonora and highly recommend this tour!"
