Great day trip from Bari - Excellent tour. Raphael was amazing, friendly and full of information about Alberobello and Matera. Very comfortable van. The man in the office was great also, warm and informative.

Matera and Altamura… not to be missed - Gianluca and his agency were very accommodating and professional. After a warm greeting, we left on time and were expertly driven to Matera and then later, to Altamura. Gianluca answered all our questions about the region during the drive. He dropped us off and picked us up punctually. He was a very gracious guide and driver, and we enjoyed our day immensely.

Excellent tour to explore Altamura and Matera - We enjoyed visiting Altamura for 1.5 hrs and then Matera for 3 hours. Francesco our driver was great! He is easy to communicate with (his english is excellent!) and he is very organised with drop off and pick up times/locations. This tour is an excellent choice for those looking to explore these towns independently without the hassle of using public transport. We were provided with a list of suggested sightseeing options via whatsapp before we departed Bari - this was excellent. We had enough time to explore the towns as well as have coffee in Altamura and lunch in Matera. Francesco is an excellent driver and the vehicle is very clean inside with plenty of space for the 5 of us on the tour. Highly recommend

Great time - We had a good time roaming the streets of Altamura and seeing the caves in Matera. The tour driver gave us the right amount of time to explore both places.

Good but expected more - Matera has a very interesting history. You need time to visit both Sassi. We had 3 hours so more time can be afforded. The your included a visit to the Repurstre of Saint George in Paradise. The driver did not know about it so we did not go.

Visit to Mayera - Trip went to Altamura and the Matera. We had only three and half hours in Matera and this does not do it justice. So much to see and explore. Would prefer not to go to Altamura and just to visit Matera solely!

Not recommended - We asked many people for the cave entrance which the tour agent gave us tickets but no one knew where it’s. The driver dropped us in front of the train station then we were on our own. We were very disappointed for this trip.

THEY CANCEL AT LAST MINUTE - Dishonest and untrustworthy tour company They cancelled a tour I booked 2 months in advance just 2 nights before departure. Reason was "the street is broken". Really? Yet they offered to rebook it for the next day, when I would no longer be in the departure city. This caused me major rescheduling and missing out on another tour I wanted to take. I would not trust this operator to live up to their committments.
