    The tour was amazing! It was 1 hour long and €35 per person! The tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable and they took us all around the city! We learnt lots about Lecce and its beautiful sights! I would recommend this tour!!

  • 5Fun Rickshaw tour full of history and architecture

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Rickshaw tour of Lecce. Our tour was very comfortable, informative and interesting. Our tour guide Flore was very polite, knowledgeable and spoke good English. The tour covered most major monuments of Lecce and each monument had its own unique story, architecture and history which was very well communicated by Flore. Our tour consisted of a group of Australian tourists who opted to ride bicycles. We established great repour with them which made our tour more enjoyable and fun. Driven around in a Rickshaw was a less exhaustive way of exploring Lecce town and at the same time learning about the history and architecture of Lecce from a local tour guide. The stop for special Lecce coffee and the pasticciotto was a great touch to conclude the tour 😊 Overall a very stress free and relaxed tour and was the perfect way to explore and sightsee the major highlights of the ‘Florence of the South’ LECCE. We loved every minute of it and highly recommend this tour with Velo Service. Thank you, Flore, for a fun and enjoyable tour.

    This Rickshaw tour is the best way to tour Lecce. We chose to do it in Spanish, and our guides, Francesca & Dario, did not skip a bit. They were both very knowledgeable and fun.

  • 5Most perfect tour!

    Thank you so much for this great experience! Thank you Antonio! You are perfect and the best tour guide for Lecce (and probably anywhere else, too) ever as you really navigate your clients extremely professionally through Lecce! The entire tour was mere pleasure and joy and full of very interesting bits of information. One really needs to book this tour with Antonio! He speaks German and English perfectly and he knows just anything!

  • 4Pricey

    The guide was very friendly and helpful and the ride was comfortable, and useful for my elderly mum and my child. But I found it overly expensive - it averaged at over $200usd per hour when the transfer from brindisi to Lecce was only 60€ we paid though as we needed the transport option

About Lecce

Lecce is a Baroque city in Italy's heel, built in honey-coloured limestone and carved with flowers, animals and saints on every façade.

Lecce's soft local limestone could be carved like wood, and the architects of the seventeenth century used it to cover churches and palaces in garlands, cherubs, animals and plants, a style called Leccese Baroque. The Basilica of Santa Croce has the richest façade, and the Piazza del Duomo is a closed square with a campanile. A Roman amphitheatre lies half uncovered in Piazza Sant'Oronzo, and the city is sometimes called the Florence of the South.

Top-ranked sights in Lecce: Lecce Basilica of Santa Croce (Basilica Di Santa Croce), Lecce Roman Amphitheatre (Anfiteatro Romano di Lecce), Porta Napoli.
