Our guide Brunella was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about Matera's history. The pace was fine and we had plenty of time to take pictures. We visited a rock/cave church and a rock/cave house as well and they were great.
Great way to understand...

This was special tour which shared information about the town’s history from a personal viewpoint. It was unrushed and informative and we were so glad we spent the time with Brunnela!

Tour guide Brunella was fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and relayed the history of Matera. By incorporating her personal stories, tour is moving. You can feel how people were living in Matera before it became what it is today. She's respectful to people.
Great guide, fantastic family stories

Brunella gave a great tour with a visit to a cave church and house. She is from Matera and her father used to live in Sassi, so she had some insightful stories. It was an informative tour.

We were late to join the walk due to parking, but luckily we were able to catch up with Angela and join the tour which was excellent. Very educational and Angela was very good. Only feedback, is that Viator should tell people that you can’t park anywhere near where the walk starts. You need to park in the town itself. This caused us to be 20 minutes later.
