Treasure hunt among the Sassi of Matera - We spent 2 hours really pleasant and didactic. Sara is very good, prepared and knows how to involve children. The treasure hunt is well prepared and suitable for children aged 5-10. Even for us adults it was a nice experience. Highly recommended!

Matera suitable for children - Looking for an experience that could make our children of 4 and 7 years appreciate Matera, we came across this fantastic idea: a treasure hunt all for them (and a little 'even for parents, come on!) To accompany us to discover this wonder of Italy was Sara, who immediately conquered the children and managed to keep their interest high throughout the visit, which lasted 2.5 hours! Super interesting explanations also for us adults and a very special final treasure!
We can only recommend this experience and thank Sara again for her patience, passion and laughter! Sara, Ivan, Gabri and Tommy
