Fantastic - Our guide Michele was knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and considerate. He made the tour very interesting and was happy to answer all our questions. It was a highlight of our trip to Matera.

Beautiful. - tour to do absolutely and to do at sunset if possible because the view in front of you becomes magical, the Murgia park is a place where time has stopped, caves and caves carved into the rock, the guide gives you all the explanations and takes you to the best places, in this place have been filmed many successful movies and the reason you understand only coming here and admiring the view.

Fantastic sunset trip - Beautiful sunset tour, in which you can appreciate both the naturalistic aspect of the park and the historical one (visit of caves used in the past as homes and churches). Our guide Raffaele was very competent and was able to provide us with an excellent reconstruction of living in the past in the places of Matera and surroundings. The trip ends with the view of the Sassi at sunset, a must-see! And those who love cinema will be able to see the places that made up the set of famous films from The Gospel According to Matthew to The Passion of the Christ,

Out in nature and beautiful sunset - A very nice trip to get out in nature and go on a short hike with a guide that provides fantastic insight into the history and culture of the region. The sunset over Matera was beautiful and a different experience to seeing it from inside the city. Saw many cave with paintings and also houses as part of the trip.

Choose a different company - Given that Viator listed this experience as “English, Italian” which was not the case (only Italian) the tour operator could have responded with compassion and professionalism at the error. Instead he behaved in a belittling, unprofessional manner, speaking about me to the other tour guests. This company was not interested in providing a positive experience for tourists. I would have gladly attended the tour in Italian had I been treated with kindness and respect. Instead, the experience I had been most looking forward to while in Italy, turned into the most hurtful experience. Shame on you for treating others this way.
