Matera with "inner" view - Brunella was an attentive guide, also taking inspiration from our requests and we were able to immerse ourselves in the true history of Matera. The group selected was small and thanks to this we interacted better with Brunella, but also exchanged curiosities between us.

A friend who tells you about the journey through the history of Matera - Walking tour through the SASSI DI MATERA with your guide.
To the beauty and peculiarity of the place, on a day of very pleasant temperature and with a spectacular blue sky in contrast with the white of the buildings, what can be added ?
It would be nice to have a friendly guide, helpful and so prepared to let people INSIDE the story she tells, while walking the path...... and here she is, her name is Mariateresa and she was impeccable.
Perfect and punctual organization (even the cheapest that does not hurt and we will return for other types of tours) and the passion for their land that you feel at all times.
BRAVO and THANK YOU!!!

A++ tour with Gaetano - We had a tour of the Sassi in Matera, which was a 2 hour tour in English. Our guide was Gaetano, who was born and raised in Matera, and he was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable, his English was perfect, and he was very funny, with a great personality. Highly recommend doing this
