5.00Sara was our tour guide and she was fantastic! We walked and saw all of Matera learning its history up to present day. She pointed out what to do and see in addition to what we saw as well as local recommendations for dining. The history of Matera and the Sassi is fascinating.

5.00This was a phenomenal tour. Sara was so informative and knowledgeable about the history. She is a local and 3rd generation living in Matera so it was obvious how much she loved it here. We stopped at the Porta Pistola and was able to go on a 1hr hike in the valley, which was also fantastic

5.00Our tour guide, Mario Padula, was excellent. Accommodated our request to meet at the hotel, was well-versed in all to be seen in Mara having been born there. We could not have asked for a more experienced and kind guide.
Excellent private guided tour
