  Vito is knowledgeable but one of my least favorite tour guides from this trip. I didn’t like the conversation outside of the historical information. Plus he was selectively deaf. Trying to communicate with a dead tour guide - who is only deaf when he didn’t want to answer your questions was frustrating. Also - America does it all wrong vs Italy. And he was obsessed with UNESCO. Just not a fan. It was also our most expensive excursion - but to me provided the least in value. So too expensive for what you get. We loved the two sites - but for as long as it was and as expensive as it was it should have included at least a little food. All of our other less expensive and just as long or shorter excursions included lunch. I would look for a different tour.

• Great way to visit Matera snd Arborobello

  Thoroughly enjoyable visit to Matera and Alborobello . Our tour guide picked us up close to our airbnb and spoke knowledgably about the two historic areas. It was well worth the time and money

• Fantastic guide to two remarkable cities!

  Our small group (2 couples) saw Matera and Alberobello with Vito - our superb guide. Vito gave excellent background and historical perspective to what we were seeing. He guided us through the streets which we would never have found on our own. He also kept the conversation running for the full 6+ hours of our trip. The only downside was that Matera and Alberobello were not as beautiful as the advertising brochure photos, maybe because the sun was not as intense. Regardless, both place were superb and truly impressive.

• Good and entertaining tour

  Vito was amazing. He offered us a magnific day, with much local history informations. We got back in time. Thank you very much Vito. We learn, see and feel another side of history, in this trip.

  The tour will went well not too fast paced, we did not feel "forced" around which can happen sadly on some guide tours. Out guide Vito was friendly attentive and adapted to the group. Timing was all as advertised. The car comfortable and we learned a lot on the trip, perhaps a little "free" with some of the stats much enjoyable all the same. Bother locations clearly are heavily tourist biased, but we were not pressured into anything.

  Vito was our tour guide. There was a misunderstanding with pick up. The walk was too far to meet him for two elderly people with mobility issues. I alerted Vito before arriving so I was surprised at the distance to meet him. We had a private tour and we have since met fellow passengers who were met by their Viator guide right at the terminal and dropped off right in front. Vito told us that was not possible yet we saw first hand that their Viator guide did just that. . Vito was as accommodating as he could be I think but seemed a little taken aback by the slow walking and limited ability to walk. This tour clearly was too much for the two sisters. He gave us what history he could in Matera when we were 4 but it was abbreviated. On to Alberobello which was farther than we expected and Vito felt rushed for time. No time for lunch… again an abbreviated tour. We arrived back at the ship over an hour earlier than we expected and then a long walk back to the terminal. I think Vito was annoyed although we feel he did what he could do within the limitations we had. We would definitely go back to both locations when we could spend more time. But after paying over $1000 for this tour, and did not stop for even a snack, shortened tour… and rushed back to port with a long walk in…it was a bit disappointing. Again, I think Vito tried but maybe he was frustrated with us. However I did alert everyone involved when I made this reservation that there were mobility issues.

  Fantastic! I thought the driving was a little fast. It made me feel like I was on a roller coaster at an amusement park.

• To see at least once in a lifetime...

  In Alberobello, in addition to the sovereign trullo and the Cosma e Damiano basilica, there is nothing in particular to visit but, thanks to its unique architecture, it has been declared a World Heritage Site. It doesn't take much time to visit Alberobello but it's really worth a walk through the trulli.

  I only recommend the tour with Vito. It was an amazing experience and Vito is very helpful and has a deep knowledge of the history and antropology which makes this tour even more special.
