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!
