    Full description

    You will meet a local tour guide in the main square, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, where you'll begin your walking tour admiring the landscape of the historic center from unique viewpoints. Then the tour will lead you through the historic center, covering topics of Matera history on the way.

    Matera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has been chosen as the 2019 European Capital of Culture, an important acknowledgment for its history and beauty which has been carved in stone. 

    Walking among the "Sassi" (the ancient neighborhoods of Sasso Barisano e Sasso Caveoso), you will discover the cave houses and churches carved in the rock, as well as the newly restored Cathedral.

    From the Cathedral which is built on a high point of the hill, you will enjoy enchanting views over the historic center and of Murgia Materana Park, an area characterized by hills and Mediterranean vegetation.

      The tour was very well organized. Our local guide Lucia was really very amazing, kind and knew all about the place. She guided us among the Sassi explaining lots of things that are unknown if you do not have a local guide. I was very satisfied and I recommend this tour

      Our Tour Guide Angela was very sweet and friendly. She was knowledgeable about the city and its origins. She was patient and listened to all of our questions and was easy to understand and communicate with!! We highly recommend her to anyone who is planning on visiting.

      Giuseppe, la nostra guida, ci ha accompagnato nelle strade di Matera raccontandoci ad ogni passo storia, curiosità e frammenti della sua infanzia in una Matera ancora non riscoperta dallo stato italiano. Lo ringrazio davvero perché essere una guida turistica è questo, non solo nozioni. Grazie Giuseppe! Davvero professionale e simpatico.
