The most comprehensive tour of Matera. Marco took us to places we would never have found on our own and told the history of the Sassi in a way that was engaging even for the children.

Excellent guides. Casa Grotta is worth the price of the tour on its own. Even the 8kg Matera bread was a spectacle! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to truly understand this city.

At €20, it’s a steal. The kids had a blast and never got tired. Tickets included, zero stress. The guide even recommended where to have dinner that evening—top-notch.

Perfect tour at sunset. Stunning photos, stories that stay with you. We’ll definitely do it again. Anna showed us Matera as if it were our own home.
