Full description

Embark on a day out in Sassi and explore the ancient neighbourhoods with a live guide. See a series of grottoes carved out of limestone and marvel at the Sasso Barisano and the Sasso Caveoso.

Your tour will begin at the meeting point in Via Alessandro Volta. From here, your expert guide will lead you to the Church of San Francesco, situated in the historic centre of the city. Next, you’ll continue along a panoramic road comprised of narrow streets and winding alleys. After arriving at the Rupestre Church of Sant'Antonio Abate, you’ll find a pleasant surprise waiting inside: a classic example of the traditional culture of this remarkable city.

Afterwards, you’ll move on to visit a typical Matera cave-house before continuing along Via Madonna delle Virtù and Porta Pistoia "Pert P’stèl" to conclude your cultural adventure.

It was a great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. I am giving it 4 because we did not go near the actual caves. Maybe I misread the description of the tour but I was disappointed. Having seen in person how far the caves are, I understand but I wish I had known and may have searched fo another type of tour. But it doesn't take away from how good this tour is. Maybe be more clear...

Isabel was our tour guide and she was excellent. We learned so much about the history of Matera and got to see a lot of the city plus a cave house and cave church which was really interesting. Would highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Matera for the first time!

The tour was very informative and it was great to hear our Guide's own personal experiences of being brought up as a child living in Matera. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Matera so we found it a very enjoyable worthwhile tour. Highly recommended.
