Lecce Tours in October 2026

We requested a customized combination of PUGLIA COASTAL WALK and WALKING IN PUGLIA in one trip and that was superbly done by Nicola and Chris! It turned out a very pleasant tour and we would strongly recommend to create a permanent itinerary. We enjoyed every minute of being in Puglia and every kilometer walking in Puglia. That was unforgettable. Choices of accommodations were exceptional with excellent and unique amenities and great supportive staff. Route Notes and GPX tracks made us very comfortable in finding the right way and seeing the right attractions and natural wonders. Chris' support and advice were invaluable. Overall we were very satisfied with this trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Puglia tour. Fabio was a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable, humorous, and kind. Matera was an unexpected highlight for me. The hotels in Matera and Alberobello were outstanding- a great mix of historic charm and quiet elegance. The hotel in Lecce could use some updating. Our first room was extremely dark and dingy. We requested a room change- even offering to pay a little more- but no need as Fabio and the hotel staff were very gracious to accommodate our request. The itinerary was a perfect blend of guided tours and individual time to explore independently. We appreciated contributing to a group kitty from the start and not having to worry about daily trips for the city guides and drivers. I highly recommend joining the group dinners as Fabio chose amazing local restaurants that we would not have found on our own. This tour was a great value for the experience we received!

We had a fabulous time hiking the Puglia Coast! All accommodations were beautiful. The Adriatic was gorgeous and fabulous to swim in during breaks in the hike. The app was easy to use. Looking forward to another trip!

What made this cycling trip special was our guide. The safety emphasis, local knowledge, and connections the guide has make this trip a wonder. This trip involves cycling every day from Matera, down along the Ionian coast, and ending by the Adriatic coast to the city of Lecce. This my fourth cycling trip with Exodus, and I have to say that every guide on this trips has been fantastic. Cycling is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to be part of the landscape at just the right speed.

We went as a group of 4. It was such a lot of fun. The E Bikes were great, the scenery was terrific and interesting and our accommodation was also very good.

Fantastic walking tour! Downloaded all the gps files to GPX viewer which worked very well! We loved Otranto and the walk along the coast -- the sea was beautiful and 3 trains to get there was worth it. Ostuni was another highlight and we enjoyed the walk in the olive groves. Had the best pizza in Alberobello -- Pinsa. Valle D'Itria was spectacular. Everything went as planned, only one delayed train. We added on days before in Naples and a few days after on the Amalfi Coast. Southern Italy is wonderful!
