It was very nice! A lot of information was provided to us in the 2 hours and we were also provided additional ideas on what to go back and see after the tour. Our guide was incredible and I would highly recommend this tour for an initial introduction to Matera, which is an absolutely amazing city!!

Full description

Discover the story of a town which was carved into rocks and was inhabited until the 20th century. You will have the opportunity to visit a cave-house recently opened to the public, and will also have access to ancient rupestrian churches. Matera is a unique place, and makes for a great experience to experience. You will meet the local and expert tourist guide in the city center where the tour will start to discover this UNESCO site. From there, you will walk through the 2 main districts dug into the rocks, an area where you will discover cave-houses and rupestrian churches. During this tour, you can admire the panoramic view over the Murgia Materana Park from the balconies whilst you discover the Matera origins, one of the oldest European cities.

Angela was very kind and patient with us as we brought our young son on the tour. She was also very flexible as she sought to help keep us out of the extremely hot sun during a heat wave. She was informative and kind. I really learned a lot on the tour and would definitely recommend her if you are interested in seeing Matera.
