Annalisa was a fabulous tour guide. Having a tour guide whose own grandparents experienced the Sassi was really eye opening. She was extremely engaging and shared with us so much history about Matera. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to learn more about this magical city.

Our guide: GIUSY, very well prepared, passionate, nice, engaging, professional ... made us fall in love with this enchanting place that is Matera. A tour of 2 and a half hours going back in time, as if it were a beautiful documentary Brava Giusy !!!!! Highly recommended
