2.00Knowledgeable tour guide but no head sets. Couldn’t hear her all the time. It was a large group and out in the streets so the noise level should have required headsets.
Great choice to take this tour

5.00Lovely experience. Matera is not a place you can understand without knowing its history. The group was small so we could ask questions and hear the guide
