  Renato was an excellent tour guide - friendly, fun and knowledgable. His family being from Matera gave him great insight to the human history of Matera.

• If you visit Matera choose this guide.

  Great tour guide. Grandpa still lived in the caves. Beautiful stories. Matera comes alive because of him. Excellent to understand. He still speaks as loudly as his grandmother who communicated across the rooftops with the neighbors across the street, as it was at the time.

• Fantastic to hear Renatos...

  Guitano was a fantastic guide. His wit and knowledge kept the small group enthralled. His explantion of the geography and history of the location of the Matera caves and valley were excellent. The jovial and kind nature of Guitano made the heat of the day pass by without feeling like we were in an oven. The variety of locations, stories and explanationa of life in the past was clearly shown throughtout the valley. I found the cave house fascinating and the Palombaro Lungo (undergeound water system) was really cool to see. The winding streets and maze of cave buildings, and amazing views across all angles gave a sense of wonder. There are plenty of instagram worthy views around each corner and at various squares. The church atop the rocky outcrop was very beautiful and dramatic. We suggest you wear comfortable shoes, sunglasses and a hat to help keep cool. We bought a locally made cuckoo whistle and limestone fridge magnet. The locally made foccacia from a small bakery was delicous. 10/10 tour as you would not know as many details without the excellent guidance of Guitano.

• A must do in Matera, Renato brings Matera history to life

  They should know that Viator was too cheap to get a proper flag for the guide where it clearly says VIATOR instead the flag had nothing related to VIATOR which caused us walking back and forth around piazza looking for our guide

• Fantastic tour!

  Our guide was so awesome. Very personable, spoke clearly, took us to many different and interesting locations and even showed us the home where his family used to live. Note: it can be very hot without much shade so bring a water bottle.

• Awesome Tour!!!
