Absolute cannot miss places. Drive was exceptional. Long day but 2-3 hours in each will work. Food in Matera is exceptional. The streets and sidewalks are very slippery in many ateas as the stone is worn down. Wear proper shoes with very good traction and comfort.
New experiences with historical aspects

Wear great shoes as you will need grip on the smooth surface of the stones on incline, however, it is so worth it to get through areas which can only be seen on foot, personally, and intimately with your tour guide. He was very in tune with our interests and needs in the group, yet did not let one dominate the experience. When we inquired about various historical or cultural aspects, he delivered, allowing us to experience the beauty of the trilli inside and out, the market, and the depth of the world’ 3rd oldest continuously occupied city of Matera. Worth every experience!
We did the half day...

We did the half day version of the private tour and choose to visit Alberobello. Driver from Bari was very nice and tour guide upon arrival was knowledgeable. It's great not to be part of the masses and explore at your own pace.

Hired just the Driver for the day, which gives you more time to walk around at your own pace, great for people over sixties, Lorenzo the driver was excellent gave great tips and was a smooth driver. Worth the money if your budget allows wouldn't do it any other way.
