    Words don’t do justice to Lecce

    The walking tour of Lecce was a journey that transcended time and space, a mesmerizing showcase of the city's rich cultural and artistic heritage. His infectious enthusiasm and expert knowledge brought to life the hidden gems of Lecce's baroque architecture, the fascinating stories behind the ancient Roman amphitheater, and the intricate details of the breathtaking Holy Cross Basilica. The tour was not only a visual feast but also a soul-stirring experience that left me with a deep appreciation for the city's history and people. Fabio's unique way of blending history, art, and personal anecdotes made the tour feel like a heartfelt conversation with an old friend, leaving me with memories that will last a lifetime. I can't recommend this tour enough to anyone who wants to truly understand and appreciate the beauty and richness of Lecce. Thank you, Fabio, for an unforgettable experience.

    Roman Theatre Rewind a Time Traveling in Town

    Checking out the Roman Theatre was like taking a time machine back to ancient times It's right smack in the middle of town, blending in with all the hustle and bustle. But once you step in, bam! You're surrounded by these ancient ruins, and it's like, whoa, history overload. The place is surprisingly well-kept, considering it's been around for ages. And the view from up there? Killer If you're into history stuff or just want a cool sightseeing spot, this place is a no-brainer. Definitely worth checking out
