Christine – Malta

Excellent. Guide was very informed and very caring towards elderly client

M
Mona – United States

The tour was great! The guide had a key to the rock churches which we were able to ret inside and see. He took his time to explain everything. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because he did the tour in Italian. Other guests on the tour were able to translate for us to English.

Our guide was excellent. She is passionate about the landscape, Matera’s long history and significance. Mina showed us things that interested us and was a wealth of knowledge, pointing out many things that would be unnoticed if you were to explore on your own. This trek, if in the summer months, is best done at sunrise or late afternoon. We left at 6pm. I wish the daylight held out but we saw almost everything. It was pretty wonderful walking that park in the evening. But I wish we started at 5pm rather than 6pm. Other than that. It was fantastic.
