Walking tour of the Sassi of Matera with Casa Grotta/Church
Absolutely worth the money and indispensable to really get to know Matera.
We met Matera with our guide Mario. He explained the context and history of the city very well with the most important facts and also gave us personal insights. Highly recommended.

Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio
Top guide
I visited Matera with my husband for 3 days and I state that we never take guides, but everyone had told us that to understand Matera would be indispensable. We were lucky enough to be guided by Giulio through the meanders of this incredible jewel. It's a super interesting tour, full of historical anecdotes and funny moments. We were so happy that the next day we wanted to reply and also Francis, the guide who took us to see the churches-caves on the other side of the country was very good. Really both united by passion and deep historical knowledge.
