I've heard a lot about Matera and although usually I read and prepare to the trip by myself this time I decided to book private tour. I knew this town is just pure history and I will be not able to explore it without some suggestions. I am so happy with my decision. The guide was very well prepared, telling us the stories in very interesting way with so many curiosities (some o them I remember until today!). He can say so many about ancient times as well as life in Matera nowadays. We appreciate also this particular sense of humor and Italian accent while speaking English :) Totally worth it, score for this tour guide!
