We took part in the day trip through the charming alleys of Matera and it was simply fantastic! My daughters and I immersed ourselves in an exciting, fun, and educational adventure that allowed us to discover the city in a truly original and engaging way. Special thanks go to Michele, who organized everything with great passion and attention to detail. He managed to create a stimulating itinerary for adults and children alike, full of puzzles, historical curiosities, and team games. Matera, with its unique views and magical atmosphere, was the perfect backdrop for this treasure hunt that we will remember with a smile.

Thank you, Michele!
