Simone , an engaging guide - The guide Simone transported us throughout the tour to the beauty of Matera. Engaging and precise tour in the story of the city. Simone very knowledgeable, but above all a local person who has experienced firsthand all the transformations of the city.

Stones of Matera - Our Guide Adriano, was as spectacular as the place he made us visit.
The tour lasted about 3 hours and the story was professional, but also friendly and friendly.
The passion for his land came fully and this gave a special value to the tour.
All very good.

Stones in stones Top - UNIQUE, so I would define Matera. My eyes have peered at a fantastic country but only with the wise words and passionate descriptions of Simone I was able to truly understand what I was peering at. Yeah, great!

From Bari...Matera and Alberobello in a day - We loved Matera.
We went by bus from Bari, we toured for two hours the sassi and tb helped us get a taxi to get to Alberobello.We had only.one day to get to know these two places full of history and magic.
And they made it possible!!!
Thank you infinitely.!!! Mario Fede and Claudia from Argentina.

Unexpected Matera - Guided tour above our expectations.
Simone has illustrated in a short time, the history of the stones, transmitting to us his passion for the work he does.
If at school, we had teachers like him, we probably would have continued our studies
