Lecce Tours in September 2026

This was our first ‘cultural’ Exodus holiday although we’ve done lots of Exodus cycling holidays. We went not knowing much about the area so it was wonderful to find it so enjoyable. There was a good mix of learning about the region, relaxing, and tours of caves, olive groves and some of the more important towns in the area. Transfers weren’t too long (usually under an hour) and accommodation was excellent for the most part. The nature of the accommodation meant that we all had different style rooms in most locations, which was good fun comparing.

Highlights of Puglia lived up to expectation - so many highlights! Whole itinerary was excellent as was our tour guide Sonea; whose organisational skills and suggestions for restaurants/optional additional activities were first rate.

Puglia is an excellent destination for a cycling holiday- quiet roads lined with dry stone walls and spectacular coastal scenes. Bikes were good with terrific back up help when needed.

We had a lovely week in Puglia; we enjoyed the walking and the combination of using public transport and taxis for the long distance transfers. The places we visited were beautiful and so interesting. The accommodation was mixed and perhaps options could be given for different gradings of accommodation. The gpx files provided and the walk details were fantastic and the staff were so helpful at all stages.

Amazing trip to te heel of Italy. Matera was my particular highlight, due in part to the passionate guide who enthralled us it her personal relationship with Matera. Trulli houses beautiful although Alberobello was not great. The train to Martina Franca was good. Lecce too was magnificent, I've never seen so many churches. A great trip.

Well planned itinerary and plenty of free time. Very beautiful part of Italy not generally frequented by a lot of British tourists, compared to other Italian towns, and well worth visiting. You wont be disappointed. Excellent food, as you would expect.
