Lecce Private Shore Excursion from Brindisi Port: €140 Round Trip

Why Choose a Private Transfer to Lecce?

When your cruise ship docks in Brindisi, you have a few options to reach Lecce, which is about 40 km away. While cruise lines offer their own excursions, they are often overpriced and involve traveling in large groups on crowded buses. Public transport, such as trains, requires you to first get from the port to the city station, adding stress and the risk of delays that could cause you to miss your ship.

Choosing Transfer Brindisi means you have a private driver waiting for you at the pier. Our prices are transparent: €140 for the entire vehicle, whether you are a couple or a group of eight friends. You enjoy a personalized experience, air-conditioned comfort, and the flexibility to spend your time in Lecce exactly how you wish, without following a guide's umbrella.
