The tour operator texted me the day before our scheduled tour as heavy rain was forecasted for that time. He offered to reschedule the tour for the next day. He was waiting for us at the designated spot and the tour began. There was an audio speaker in the back of the vehicle which gave the tour highlights in English. It was hard to hear and it was unclear which attraction it was referring to. We kept rolling along and did not know where to look. We did make stops at a few scenic overlooks. He took us to Casa grottta Narrante which was a cave dwelling and we seemed to get preferential treatment as his grandfather had once lived there. Our friends spoke some Italian so he mainly communicated with them in Italian. Not sure how well he speaks English. Overall, I’m glad we did the tour but you can do and go all the places on your own. The town is very walkable even with its steep hills.

We had a very interesting tour with our guide on 22 April at noon who took the time to provide many interesting details of Matera's history and culture in English . We showed interest in a film which action took place in Matera and our guide took us to the most famous locations of these series which was a nice gesture. We enjoyed our tour very much and highly recommend it.

We were lead to believe this was a tour with and English speaking guide. Ou guide spoke no English, could not answer and questions. And the only English part was a pre recorded guide.

Wonderful knowledge provided by young Francesco on our English speaking tour of Sassi di Matera in particular. Wonderful place to visit and a great way to get around in a smaller vehicle. Thankyou Francesco.

Lots of fun and a little bumpy. Great to scope out the place without walking all over. Don’t make too many stops. Better to cover more territory and see more. Great guide.

Excellente façon typique et agréable de visiter globalement Matera par une journée de forte chaleur. Notre chauffeur-guide était de plus super agréable! Nous recommandons!

Il centro storico di Matera merita una lunga passeggiata a piedi per cogliere gli scorci e l'atmosfera di una città unica. Avendo limiti di tempo o difficoltà di movimento il tour in calessino con i conducenti del posto che raccontano aneddoti ed esperienze della vita di Matera nel tempo è una esperienza eccellente! Grazie ad Antiche ci ha accompagnato con pazienza ed attenzione ;-)
