Bellissima esperienza! - Exciting experience the walking tour through the caves, stones and alleys of Matera. Thanks to the words of Giuseppe (our Guide) we dived into the history of a village of a few thousand inhabitants to the whole nation. Even our boys were captured by those stories and all 'experience...... Purple, a mascot of the path deposited to the patient and engaging Guide. When you have a limited time to spend in a place, especially if particular and rich in history like this, being accompanied by those who are so prepared and thus make everything usable for each member of the group is fundamental and a great fortune. Absolutely recommended.

Experience to live - We booked last minute through Booking and it turned out to be a beautiful find. Giuseppe accompanied us, a trained Guide, dynamic and very engaging, able to tell Matera in a simple way and immerse us in the history of the city. The time of the visit flew. Special mention to Mr. Eustace, direct witness of Matera's history.
