Our guide Maria did a great job. She was very knowledgeable and engaged. The Sassi area is like nothing in the world and well worth visiting. Our walk was quite comprehensive, taking in a broad area and allowing interior access to a couple of sites. Be aware that barely one leaf exists here, so on a hot sunny day you'll want good heat and sunlight protection. Overall recommended.

Maria gave us a great deal of information about the history , present and future of Matera. Also we covered much of the old city at just the right pace. It was an excellent tour.
