This is a fabulous tour, worth every penny. Vito is so entertaining, nows the city, as he was born and raised there and is such a professional! We loved every minute and hated to see the tour end!

Definitely book this tour

This is a great way to see Matera! Our guide was very knowledgeable and we got to see so much in the time we spent with him. Matera is very interesting and a must see for everyone coming the Puglia region. I highly recommend this tour.

Our favorite experience in Matera

We loved our tour with Vito! The best hour we spent in Matera. Vito is a local and grew up in Matera so we were able to ask him specific questions about growing in the city. He’s super friendly and speaks great English. Highly recommended.

Matera tour with Vito is a must!
