A historic tour through Matera is a must - We hadn't heard of Matera before traveling to Puglia. During our tour of Alberobello with Fransesco a few days prior, he mentioned Matera as a must-see historic treasure. Fransesco has spent time in this ancient city, and his passion shows. His tour through Matera and its history should not be missed.

Upand down in Matera - We were very satisfied with our Bari Walk through history Tour so we decided to double up with Matera.The three hour walk proved to be very interesting and fun without being too taxing on our legs due to the millions of steps one has to climb in the town. We truly enjoyed this tour and we learned so much about Matera that we did not know. Our guide, Francesco, is very knowledgeable and makes every town a pleasant discovery!
