He made us spend about forty minutes in peace with many explanations on the stones and all the historical and curious news about the historic center of Matera

We visited Matera accompanied by Pino, who is not only a driver but a friendly and very experienced guide. With his stories and anecdotes he made us discover the city in an authentic and engaging way. A very pleasant company, we recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Matera with a local and genuine look!

He looks like an outdated gentleman: far from it! Pino is an expert driver of proven skills who runs around the city of Matera, telling the story anecdotes and stopping in the most suggestive places invites you to photograph the landscape. With the female gender he always has a real gentleman's eye. It does this by subjecting male individuals to psychological torture. But no joke Pino you were fantastic .. Thank you very much for what you do and how you do it.

During our last day in Matera, we decided to give ourselves a bee ride to admire the stones. A beautiful experience, plus Mr. Pino's explanations were exhaustive. Kindness, sympathy and professionalism. A perfect match. From 10!
