    Well worth doing the guided tour… you learn so much about the history and things that you would walk past without realising what you are seeing. A must do in Matera!

    The tour was good. We started late waiting for some couples to join us. We did not have enough time to eat a good lunch on our own but our tour guide, Gabriella was nice and accommodating. This tour is not for seniors!

    Amazing trip with Gabrielle! Gabry picked us up from our hotel and gave us a customized trip around Puglia. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind. He showed us all the best spots in each town we went to and took amazing pictures. Will definitely book with him when we come back! Thank you!!! :)

    The tour is not cheap (€90 for 2 adults and 1 child) but is a great way to see the city, especially when it is hot. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the sights we saw on the tour. Highly recommend if you are in Matera for a short amount of time.

    This was by far the best tour we have done in Italy. Our guide Antonio was excellent, very knowledgeable and added in his own personal experiences growing up in Matera. Spoke excellent English. Highly recommend his tour to anyone visiting this amazing city

    Brilliant trip getting to see two amazing places! Our tour guide provided lots of information about both locations. It was a long day though with having to go to Bari to collect the guide and other guests.

    Marco was our driver and friendly. He was on time for our departure at each location. There was enough time to enjoy both stops: Alta Mura for an hour and a half and Matera for four hours. It is an incredible part of the world and if you’re looking for a private taxi, it was great.
    My only criticism and reason for not giving 5 stars is that he didn’t speak to us at all unless he had to. I wasn’t expecting a guided tour by any means, but he chatted away with the Italian couple about the sites we were visiting and gave us the bare minimum. Obviously English is his second language and maybe he felt uncomfortable speaking it, but even a few words about where we were going or seeing, or the history during the drive would have been appreciated.

    We took the personal guided tour with Simone. We were in Matera for the first time and the decision to take a professional guide was the excellent choice. Simone told us a lot about the history, geology and the way of living in Sassi. Very appreciate and recommend it

    Pino was delightful and very informative. He explained the difference between the different areas of Sassi (rich and poor), showed us different churches and stopped for multiple panoramic view photos. He was cheerful and we liked him 😀. Thumbs up and would recommend. Evan and Elena.

    Thank you to Teresa who was so informative in the office. She helped us book a tour and gave us great recommendations for what else to see outside of our tour stops. Thank you to Georgia our guide. She gave us a succinct understanding of the history of Matera and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. I would recommend this experience for anyone visiting Matera.
