Magnificent, cultural visit - A magnificent experience with Francesco, which allowed us to enter incredible places that we would not have seen alone. He showed us around for 3.5 hours even though the program only allowed for two hours.
He explained to us in great detail the many facets of Matera
We recommend it!

The best way to visit Matera - I knew Matera was special, but seeing it with our guide Giusy made it an unforgettable experience! Prepared, competent and passionate, 2 and a half hours flew by. Ask for her!
Also priceless was the visit to the rock church with the gentleman (whose name I can't remember now) who sang and played for us

An a really enjoyable tour of Matera. - We really enjoyed our trip to beautiful Matera. Viator and especially Giusi made it even more special. Her guided 2-hour tour with her detailed expert explanations coupled with her sense of humour made it a wonderful experience.

I bought a Spanish tour and they put me on an Italian one. There was no refund even - We booked a tour in Spanish and they put us on an Italian one. It wasn't just us, a group of Spanish women who booked separately had the same thing happen to them. There was no refund because they told me I had booked it in Italian. Impossible ! I don't speak the language. I DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. They can put you in any group
