Lecce with Withlocals

"Eleonora was the perfect guide. Not only did she lead us to some delicious local cuisine, but she is also highly educated about all things Lecce and beyond. You will learn so much from her. Worth every penny!!! "

"If you’re visiting Lecce and haven’t spent time with Francesca, you’re truly missing out. 🌟 She isn’t just a guide — she’s your inside connection to the soul of the city. Her knowledge of history, culture, and hidden corners is incredible, but what really sets her apart is her warmth and generosity. Francesca somehow knows the artisans, every alley, and — most importantly — exactly where to eat the best food. She reads the room, moves at your pace, and makes you feel like a local from the very first moment. Kind, brilliant, and effortlessly connected to the heartbeat of Lecce — Francesca is an absolute gem. I couldn’t recommend her more! 🇮🇹"

"We did a private 3 hr history + food tour with Francesca in Lecce. She is very friendly and knowledgeable and the tour was a great mix. Food was nicely varied and a lot of quantity and quality ! Highly recommend! "

"Yesterday we did the food tour with Eleonora, we changed from evening to day time on her suggestion as it would be less crowded. It made a big difference, the streets were a lot less busy and some areas there was hardly anyone and we could move around much easier. Her knowledge of the history of the area and where the best tastings were was excellent. Eleonora was very welcoming, fun and spoke good English. We would highly recommend Eleonora. Brava e grazie mille Eleonora "

"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. "
