Good tour in Matera

Published on Oct, 2024

The panoramic view of the sassi coming alive with lights on in the evening hours was amazing. Very exciting experience!

Excellent

Published on Oct, 2024

Wonderful excursion. the 5:30 tour was great because we were able to see the town from the other side of the valley at early evening with lights. Absolutely amazing

Best way to get an overview of all that Matera has to offer

Published on Sep, 2024

Best way to introduce yourself to the magic of Matera. Comfortable, small bus travels easily through Matera stopping for multiple tours and photo ops. Narrated in your language it is a great 2 hour intro into Matera. Do the 5pm tour and get a panorama of the Sassi at sunset!

Great way to see Matera/Sassi!

Published on Sep, 2024

This trip was well explained and would have taken us 6 hours to do what was done in 2. Well worth the money.

Great
