About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- NickyD2720 contributionsA wonderful introduction to the beautiful city of LecceAn amazing way to start our time in Lecce. Monia was really lovely and so knowledgeable about the city - the history she shared gave us great insight into the evolution of Lecce and the tastings were all delicious. Highly recommended!Written 13 September 2024
- marconF7138AI0 contributionsFamily tour with AntonellaAs family with two adults and one kid we booked the guided tour in German a day in advance. Antonella waited at the indicated location and after a first quick bite and some introduction to Lecce and it's history we started exploring the city. Antonella's explanations were detailed and she took care to involve our son (9) to keep him entertained. It was a great experience and we can fully recommend a private tour over any larger group. If you can, try to book the afternoon tour as it gets really hot during noon. If not make sure to eat an extra scoop of gelato 😁Written 13 July 2024
- Howard L0 contributionsAN EXPERIENCE EVERYONE SHOULD HAVEChoosing Rosy Smart City Tours was the best decision I made in the planning of my holiday in Lecce, Having been given Antonelle was by far a wonderful opportunity. I knew nothing of the culture, art, history of this beautiful city; I finished this tour with a broad understanding and appreciation of one of the Adriatic's most beautiful cities. All this would not have been possible had it not been for my professional guide Antonelle. A combination of food tastings and sightseeing made for the perfect experience. She was knowledgable, friendly, and professional. She had the answers to every question, never spoke down to me and took me around the city with interest, enthusiasm . She made me feel as if I were a long time friend, making me feel at home in her city.Written 14 August 2022

Monia is a friendly guide with great knowledge about the history of Lecce. Either skip breakfast or make it a light meal. We stopped at several places to taste delicious food from appetizers to dessert. We highly recommend this walking food tour as a way to learn about this city and taste the native dishes.

Our tour with Antonella was perfect for us (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and we really enjoyed walking around this stunning city to see the main sights from 6-9pm. Antonella was really knowledgable as she is a local, and was able to answers lots of questions we asked. We asked for parking recommendation and the Parkejoo was a convenient 15 mins walk to the meeting point. At the end of the tour we said goodbye to the group in a beautiful gelateria which was only a few mins walk back to our parking location.
We joined another family and so the 7 of us were able to hear and see everything as a group.
Food stops (3 savoury and 2 sweet) were all delicious treats.
We will definitely return for a city break to enter the churches and stay in this most beautiful place. Lecce is my new favourite Italian city ❤️

Our guide Giancarlo was great, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the food and culture of Lecce. We walked to most of the important sites in the city, stopping several times for various samples of local cuisine . Great tour!

If you love to learn about your surroundings when you first arrive in town like I do, there’s nothing better than a walking tour… To make that even better why not stop for delicious bites to eat along the way? That’s exactly what we did with Antonella. We circumnavigated the small city in a relaxed fashion, looking at super interesting things, and paused at four different relaxing bars or restaurants for bites to accompany our ongoing conversation. Wonderful! I recommend this tour highly for anyone who loves culture, food, history, and people!

We had a great tour with Antonella. She was quite knowledgeable about the city and the history of the region. The tour was a full five hours with many stops at various churches (exterior only) and other points of interest in the old city. There were five food stops - an introduction to various local treats in this relatively brief time, so if you do this tour, come hungry! It’s a wonderful overview- I highly recommend this tour as an introduction to the area or if you only have a short time to visit!

Antonella was lovely. She was very knowledgeable of Lecce history and she was a great tour guide. We saw many of the main historical sites in Lecce and she provided detailed information on all of them, and answered all of our questions about the city and other things we walked by. This was our first night on the city and it was a grest start to orient us during our stay in Lecce.
The food was street food (as advertised-dont expect high cuisine-but gave us insight into the local flavors. FYI drinks are not included!

I had a tour with Antonella and since I was the only person that booked it, lucky me! Antonella was very knowledgeable about Lecce and it's history. She pointed out and described different aspects of the city that I would have never noticed otherwise. We stopped at 5 locations for bits to eat. From pastries, to breads, fried goodies to gelato - portions are a good size and you won't leave hungry! Highly recommend this or any of Antonella's tours - I really enjoyed my time with her and learned so much about this beautiful city!

Antonella was such a wonderful tour guide! She was professional and courteous, but she approached her job with a sense of humor and a genuine love of her city! We learned so much about Lecce's history while sampling the typical food of the area. Our portions of food were very generous, and we had enough food stops so that we were full by the end. Antonella made sure to stop where restrooms were available, and she was patient and entertaining while we waited for others. I give her, and this tour, five stars! Thank you, Antonella!

The tour in Lecce was very enjoyable. Antonella, our tour guide was exceptional. She made the tour pleasant and she is extremely knowledgeable. She provided us with a wealth of information on the history and culture of the city. The pace and duration was perfect. The food tasting was an added touch to the tour and quite tasting. I recommend both the tour and the tour guide.
