What To Expect
Sassi di Matera
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)

4.00Great way to see the city and see it quickly! Would recommend again! The tuk tuk driver took us all around Matera!
Could have been better

2.00Very few words were exchanged. We listened to a speaker, that was tough to follow with what locations it was talking about. Some involvement from the driver would have been great. This would be an okay thing to do as your very first introduction to Matera, but not if you’re looking for any sort of depth. The host was polite but said less than 10 words to us. Also don’t expect the host to take any photos of you. I’ve been on similar tours and this one didn’t live up to the expectations of such an amazing city.
Excellent

4.00This tour is a good way to whizz about and see the sights in 40 mins. If you do it early on in your trip to Matera then you can orientate yourself and work out those places you might want to go back to and spend more time. We enjoyed this tour but feel it’s a bit overpriced for what it is.
More interesting than I expected

5.00Even though the trullis are unique, I didn't expect the tour to be so interesting. But it was. Patrick spoke great English and was very engaging. We stopped a lot for pictures. Even though the tour was on audio, he would stop and fill in additional facts and info, he turned on some Italian music when nothing was being played, Also, the meeting place was right across the street and gad free parking. And a restroom you could use.
