Magnificent Matera with Mara - The tour guide, Mara, was lovely. She knew the history of the city very well and flavored her talk with charming anecdotes about her grandmother. Mara's Englidh was very good. I had no trouble understanding her. I recommend doing this tour in the shoulder season -- May or September -- as the cool breeze today (Sept. 25) was delightful. Taking the tour in July or August would probably be tougher.

A great tour to Matera - There were 8 of us joining this tour, unfortunately 2 got sick and canceled at the last minute. Apulia Smart Tour was kind enough to offer us a refund. They were professional and kind specially Francesco who did his best to help. Matera is a city that shouldn’t be missed. The city is like walking back to ancient civilization over 2000 years ago with buildings, homes, churches built on limestone cliffs. The Sassi - cave dwelling in the mountains. Our tour guide Maria was very good and thorough. She even brought with her photos to show us Matera’s history, important people, movies filmed in Matera. I highly recommend this tour.
