Full description

Tour from Bari to Matera in one day

One day in the city of the Sassi with transfer by minivan with driver and tour guide.

Are you in Bari and want to visit Matera? Are you looking for the best way to get there? Well, we have the solution for you! We organize a one-day tour to Matera from Bari in the “City of Sassi” that includes the service of a tourist guide, transportation in a comfortable minivan with driver departing from Bari, entrance with audio guide in a typical cave house and tasting of the local liqueur. An opportunity not to be missed if you want to spend an intense day but without getting tired.

⇒ POPULARITY': 10/10

⇒ THIS ONE DAY BARI MATERA TOUR IS FOR those who prefer an organized trip to Matera in maximum comfort. It is for those who have arrived in Puglia but do not have their own transport or simply do not want to use the car. This tour is for those looking for a convenient solution to reach the City of Sassi by sharing the costs and experience in a group tour with guide and minivan together with other visitors.

It is not suitable for those with walking problems or those who get tired easily on hills because in Matera you walk a bit. However, with a supplement, it is possible to organize an apecar tour by contacting us.

⇒ YOU WILL GET EXCITED discovering houses and caves dug into the rock where until the mid-twentieth century people lived. You will be enchanted admiring the panoramic view of the suggestive "Sassi". You will understand why this city has been the location of so many famous films…

⇒ DIFFICULTY': Media

⇒ TIME: 6 hours

⇒ LANGUAGES: multilingual tour in Italian, English, Spanish

⇒ GUARANTEED: Max 8 people

⇒ TO PUT IN THE BACKPACK: We recommend comfortable and closed clothing and shoes as the Sassi area has numerous "ups and downs". Bring a bottle of water with you and in the warmer months, a hat. Cell phone and camera are a must as well as a pole for group selfies.

⇒ WE GUARANTEE YOU a complete, authentic and engaging experience. You will be guided by expert tour leaders, assisted and transported in a comfortable minivan. The tour also includes entrance with audio guide to a typical cave house in Matera and the tasting of a typical liqueur that has become an icon, the famous “Amaro Lucano”.

⇒ CHOOSE THE FORMULA YOU PREFER:

PRIVATE if you, your family or your friends prefer an exclusive and tailor-made service. LEAVE WHENEVER YOU WANT. For larger groups you can send us a specific request.

SHARING this option is the best and most convenient for you if you are alone, as a couple or less than 4 and it is not a problem to have a non-exclusive service but together with our other customers. WE DEPART EVERY TUESDAY

I enjoyed the day trip as the guide was excellent and had a great personality. He was very knowledgeable and provided responses to all my many questions. The free time was nice but maybe too much.
