Lecce Tours in July 2026

This trip was a wonderful surprise! I have been to a couple of places in Italy before (Rome, Venice, Florence) but Puglia is so different... in a great way! The coastline, the food, the culture and the history were all wonderful.

Excellent trip with choices and free time to rest or swim. Suggestion to Itinerary On day 2 after Altamura and bread tasting try and include the trip to Gravina with the minibus -- NOT an optional train journey back there on day 3. We did this by not having lunch day 2 as we were full with bread!! and leaving a little earlier from Altamura and then continuing to Castel de Monte .AJ the guide was very helpful re this. Then day 3 afternoon we had more time to explore Matera which we needed to be fair.

Great experience, awesome introduction to this part of Italy. Varied countryside and coastline. Worth deviating off the main track at times to visit special and remote places. Best to do this when it's not too hot and not too busy.

Exceptional. This is the first time that we have used this company and we found the experience wonderful. The group size was perfect, great itinerary, activities better than expected, all enhanced by the enthusiastic group leader as well as the local guides.

This was a great ride through Puglia and it's beautiful towns and coastline. We were a little surprised at the route as it took us on main roads quite a lot of the ride with a fair bit of traffic so not for the faint hearted as the Italians are not particularly careful when passing. We really enjoyed seeing this part of Italy.

This is a really lovely part of Italy. It seemed less touristy than some other parts but some of that may be due to the after effects of covid still hitting tourist numbers The majority of places we visited are truly stunning. I loved Matera, Alorobello, Ostuni, Polignano, Otranto and Lecce. I was disappointed not to get to stay in Otranto as the beaches there were very nice. All the places we visited were very different and very interesting and we had just about the right amount of time in each. We went to some very lovely restaurants with excellent food!
