Ape Calessino Tour Matera Lungo
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Matera is one of the oldest cities in the world whose territory preserves evidence of human settlements starting from the Paleolithic and without interruptions up to the present day. It represents an extraordinary page written by man through the millennia of this very long history.
World Heritage Site since 1993 and European Capital of Culture in 2019.
With the classic and typical Ape Calessino (tuk tuk), an Italian myth, much appreciated by families, especially with children in wheelchairs, we will cross the Old Town and the Sassi, as they are very tiring on foot, especially in the summer, whizzing through the streets and characteristic alleys, making small stops for photos and videos and to visit churches in the squares and characteristic Case Grotte (Case Museo).

A bit disappointed

3.00I wish we had know that the tour was pre-recorded. The info was nice, but we were not able to ask questions. Driver was very nice, but I guess was not fluent in English. Having been asked what language we wanted, I expected a guide that was fluent.
Fun

5.00Great time fast and easy fun with kids , would have liked more details on areas we looked at. We got a pre record history and couldn't hear much and was turned on after we looked at the building.
Perfect and fun way to be introduced to this beautiful place

Waste of time and money

1.00The driver did not speak English even though I requested an English tour. He was unable to answer any questions. The tour was private and literally drove past our hotel yet we were told to walk to a meeting point and were dropped off elsewhere. He could've started the tour and ended it at our hotel. Three stops. Very little information. Unhelpful guide Dont waste your time and money with him. Extremely disappointed.

4.00A good first visit to Mattera, this approach gives an overview pity that there are no comments in French like an audio Guide, when the reservation was made for French.
