Mobile ticket
In this tour we will visit the wonderful town of Alberobello (also known as the city of trulli) and Matera
Alberobello was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996 because it is an exceptional example of building construction with prehistoric techniques that have survived intact and are still functioning in the modern world.
A "Trullo" is in fact a small limestone house, made with dry stone walls, roughly worked limestone blocks collected from nearby fields and topped with a conical roof.
Souvenir shops, B&Bs, bars and restaurants will brighten up your stay in Alberobello.
Matera is the city of the Sassi, the original urban nucleus, developed from natural caves dug into the rock and subsequently modeled into increasingly complex structures within two large natural amphitheatres that are the Sasso Caveoso and the Sasso Barisano.

Alberobello and Matera tour was eye opening.

5.00Pasquale was an excellent guide in Matera. Self guidance in Alberobello is challenging but doable. Everyone is very accommodating and friendly. The bus driver and assistant were also very helpful. It is amazing that within one's lifetime how much can change.
Excellent trip!

5.00Two wonderful places in one tour. Make sure you book the fully guided tour options - the Alberobello tour in particular is absolutely brilliant with one of the best tour guides we've ever had. You really will get the most out of it with a guide. Matera too is fascinating and the guide here was also just excellent. It's a long day - but well worth it!
I recommend it

5.00It was great. Adequate time to know both places. I hired him because it meant a lot of time, because if I did it on my own it would have taken me two days.
Don't miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.00Booked this tour and paid on booking dot com with 2 guides for both destinations. Been contacted by the operator to cancel the initial booking as they don't have available a guide for Alberobello and to book via their site, so this way will avoid extra fees that applies via booking. The guide in Matera definitely needs a brake , as well the tour was done on fast forward . I would not recommend this service.
Terrible guide in Matera!!!

4.00The bus trip was great except the guide in Matera, he was unprofessional, no Guid ID & coloured flag/umbrella, no excursion’s plan, just running & forth & back, I was taking a picture of the historic Church, he just disappeared with the remaining 7 people, ( initially it was 15 people one hour earlier), he didn’t keep track of his group. He lost me after an hour of 3 hour excursion. I turn around and he disappeared, later on the bus, one lady told me that they went down the side stairs to continue running after guide without excursion flag. It was very disappointing part of lost time, money, history knowledge in English language being so far from Bari & being lost in Matera 👎🏻
