I thought this tour was well worth the time. We drove with our guide, Anita who is an expert in history and facts of Matera and shared some of this with us as we drove to the mesa/plateau that overlooks the Sassi and the canyon. We had just enough time to see and understand what she was describing, as well as get done amazing sunset fotos. Blessings on the Driver, who drive into the sun to get us there! With Snita's history and story telling, one starts to get a "glimpse" of what it might be like to live in the Sassi. Fantastic tour. Ringrazi Anita and driver!
Great tour

Great tour. The guide Michele is a local and taught me about the history of Matera. He pointed out the local plants that thrives here. He also showed us two rock churches with beautiful frescoes and their history. The view of Matera from the park is magical.

Well managed. Great experience seeing flora and fauna and fortified ancient farm. The rock churches were fascinating and the view of Matera at sunset was just great. Our local guide was very knowledgeable and had a great passion for Matera and its heritage.
