“Lovely experience. Matera is not a place you can understand without knowing its history. The group was small so we could ask questions and hear the guide”

“Our guide Guilia was brilliant. She had lots of personality and good humour. The tour was very interesting and we enjoyed all the stops. One of the highlights was a slice of focaccia from the best focaccia maker in all of Italy! Overall, I would fully recommend this tour. The one challenge was the size of the group, I counted just under 30 people!”

“It is an amazing tour. Our tourguide Guido is very nice, professional, passionate with all of the information that he presented to us. He’s very well prepared with all of his documents to demonstrate, he explained the old myths and historical stories. Also he answers lots of our questions, any of our requests on the way (like stop for restroom, or to buy water…) he always tried his best to satisfy us. I’m also impressed that he even prepared little quiz (with prizes) for the kids from a family who joined the tour. At the end of the tour, he gave us recommendations of where to eat around the area.…”

“Giuseppe was a great guide and very knowledgeable. Recommend tour. Two beautiful towns”

“A tour of the entire Sassi area was excellent. Our guide Patrizia was very good and spoke English very well. We ended up walking around for 2.5 hours and felt we really got a great overview of the entire place.”

“Carlotta and Giada were absolutely fantastic! What a delightful duo: they showed us the city in details, they are very friendly and very knowledgeable of the History of Bari and Puglia. I want to thank them both for making sure that our family achas a great tour!”

“I highly recommend booking a guide tour in Matera. There is so much stuff to learn just from walking through the old city, that you would never discover without a proffesional eye. Gaetano was an incredible tour guide. He explained everything so well in a perfect English, made sure everyone hears him through the headphones, and stays in the shade where possible. He spoke so passionate about Matera’s people and history. He gave a lot of insights into how life looked like in this city across history and we haven’t felt bored or overwhelmed with information at all. It can get very hot so better book morning or afternoon tour…”

“Our guide Angela was very knowledgeable and even spoke excellent English. She even waited 30 minutes for us until we finally found a parking spot, without ever rushing or shortening the tour afterwards. Great experience.”

“Our guide, Maria, is a history enthusiast and provided excellent historical narrative as she guided us through the Sassi di Matera. She was thorough in all that she showed us. We visited a number of the major churches, she pointed out the Palumbaro to visit later on our own, went inside a gallery where she showed us a scale model of the Sassi to provide perspective of the Caveoso and Barisano, and guided us to view points and through the labyrinth of streets, with constant historical commentary. She is an expert of the area and helped us decode the labyrinth of streets here in the Sassi to the point where…”

“We really enjoyed it, the tour guide Francisco really made it attractive and special by telling the story of the place and he was very friendly”

“The audio guide was very easy to follow and allowed me to explore Matera at my own time.”

“Patrick was a kind and considerate host paying extra attention to my elderly parents in the tuk tuk while my husband and l followed in an electric fiat 500. Lots of fun and novel driving through the streets of Alberobello. Highly recommend the tour.”

“A very complete overview with a strong knowledge of the town and its history was given to us by Vito. A very pleasant guide and person. Very good and certainly recommendeble”

“Very well organized tour. I definitely recommend the guded one for both Alberobelo and Matera. My husband and I we had great time.”
