This was not a three hour tour! It was scheduled to start at 9:30 and did not start until 10:15. It ended at 12:05. The tour guide was great but it should not be advertised as a three hour tour. If that is what we paid for then we didn't get our monies worth.

The tour was to start at 9:30am and we were to arrive 10 minutes early. We had to drive 45 minutes to Matera to start. We arrived at 9am to be told the tour would now start at 10am. We had not been notified the day before of the delayed start. The tour is advertised to last 3-3.5 hours. We started at 10:10am (late) and were completely finished at 12:10pm- 2 HOURS only. This tour was a disappointment and could have delivered much more information.

Our guide was an absolute pleasure to listen to and learn from. Matera was lovely and we really enjoyed walking around the city. There was no pressure ( like some guides apply, to keep moving ), which was nice.

What a great place to visit and tour. Beautiful city with such history. Be prepared to learn about it's people and their story.

Our guide Luigi was excellent. There were many memorable moments but want stood out for me was when the families needed to be evacuated because of the crowded living conditions. It made me sad but then I felt hopeful that people could come back to the area to have a free lease and build a business. The history of the origins of Matera and the cistern system are a marvel. So happy I came to visit Matera!

Giuseppe, our guide was very considerate of the fact that I was 3 months post op of a full knee replacement. However, we did manage to cover the full experience. We went up steep paths and down rocky stairs. He was totally knowledgeable of the history of the Sassi and pointed out areas of interest we had missed on our initial wander around. I loved the fact that the old tombs above the Santa Lucia church were carved into rock but had been relocated. We stayed in a cave room which was lovely and cool but felt a little damp. The plumbing was modern and our hotel had the history in pictures of the family which originally lived there. Matera has a cave set up to display how the people lived there with their animals. So very worth a visit.

This was an excellent tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting information. The beginning of the tour was a bit disorganized, no fault of the guide. I only wish the tour guide had a headset because it was hard to hear at times.

Our guide was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and shared personal experiences from the Sassi de Matera. Timing was perfect with a steep walk down but very gradual return. Would definitely recommend
