With the classic and typical Ape Calessino (tuk tuk), an Italian myth, much appreciated by families, especially with children in wheelchairs, we will cross the Old Town and the Sassi, as they are very tiring on foot, especially in the summer, whizzing through the streets and characteristic alleys, making small stops for photos and videos and to visit churches in the squares and characteristic Case Grotte (Case Museo)

We loved it!! Antonio was passionate about the history of Matera and provided us with a fun and informative experience to remember.

Isobel_F

Matera is a wonderful place to visit, beautiful. Unfortunately the tour we had was less than desirable and altho we had a very nice driver he did not speak English as I had assumed he would as I chose an English tour. The whole tour was dictated in English from a pre recorded guide for the city. Not a very personal experience.

Steve_S

Not memorable. We had a guide, who spoke no English in spite of me, asking for English when I booked. He played a canned tour presentation on a speaker, which did not sync with what we are seeing and it kept playing after we left the ride at different viewpoints. We walked the same route afterwards, and got much more out of it on our own.

Carmela R

We had a great experience. Our guide did not rush us and had good knowledge of Matera. He was prompt and felt very safe in vehicle.

Joseph_S

We booked the quick trip as my partner has mobility issues and we wanted to see the lay of the land. The price was too much for what we got. Brief history from a portable speaker over noisy scooter engine noise. Missed most of it. Stops were predictable to 3 photo locations and a church visit in a square with plenty of space for the calessino to wait. Overall disappointing but we got the info we wanted for too much money.

Francesca_M

Excellent way to see the best areas of this amazing city… our guide was very knowledgeable, interesting and easy to speak to.

Andrea_F

Brilliant your, very much advised of you want to see and learn all about Matera, especially in the intense heat. Antonio is knowledgable, fun and patient. We had problems parking and were 15 minutes late but he guided us in and managed to take us everywhere, without being late for his next clients. There were 9 of us, so tricky to organise and “herd” but it all went very well. Antonio gave us snippets too that you don’t get in the tourist guides! Highly recommended if you’re doing Matera in one day.

Geoff_H

Matera old town cover a large area. This was a great way to get a perspective on the old city and get your bearings. Highly recommended as a Matera kick off. We were late as the train was delayed, communicated with Antonio and he waited for us

Ofir_O

Highly recommended. [22.06.2023] Antonio is a very nice guy, very professional, explains in excellent English, with him you can learn about the painful history of Matera….

Paulo_S

Great experience, in Matera. António was a great Guedes, with lots of information about the City, it's history, and the human history about Matera.
