Arrived in Matera at 10:00. Minivan, just 6 people in total. The excursion last till 12:00. Half of the time we stayed outside the old city not even entering it, listening to a very boring guide Mario. He showed only a small part of the old city. Couldn’t answer any of our questions. Entrance ticket to the church and the cave (2€ each), in my opinion, the tour operator could include in the price, and, of course, I would buy the tour for 4€ more. From 12:00 to 15:30 we had free time. Since I’ve been there before, I’ve brought the people from my group to a nice local trattoria and after lunch showed them another part of the city and beautiful panoramic views that showed the whole city. The transfer was great and in time, but I was very disappointed with the guide. Not professional at all, very boring, looked like he was not happy to be even there with us.

Fue una experiencia maravillosa... desde la puntualidad en el horario acordado, la limpieza de la unidad de traslado, los tiempos pactados y luego la explicacion detallada y apasionada de nuestro guia que a su vez respetó nuestros tiempos. Super recomendable, tengalo en cuenta... sobre todo comparando precio/calidad
