    The whole evening was wonderful! I got this a gift for my girlfriend. The walk to the cliff side was lovely. Filled with wonderful views and the information that Antonello and Mikeala gave us really helped us appreciate the area even more. The caves and views were exceptional, it truly is an amazing way to see the town of Sasso, Antonello and Mikeala were so helpful and insightful. We could ask any question about the area and region. They would even take photos of us at certain points of the walk. After the trip, Antonello and Mikeala would answer any questions we had about Matera and Italy in general. I would highly recommend this tour. It truly is one of a kind!

    There were good things about this tour. The sunset was beautiful and the walk fun. But it was a real disappointment for our group. There was an English speaking guide, as promised, but the expert in the area spoke only Italian. He spoke extensively to the English guide but the English speaking guide did not translate. In the end, they were only speaking to each other. We did not go into any caves. The guide said he needed 24 hour advanced notice to enter the caves but we made our reservation weeks ahead of time. The driver who took up to the park texted while he was driving us. I could not believe it. The trip was not at all what was promised. I do not recommend it.

    We had the most amazing experience. Ur guide had lots of great information. Watching the sun set on the Stassi of Matera was breathtaking. As was seeing the city light up and darkness came.

    It was a very informative and fun guided tour with a friendly guide who not only shared history but shared information to my interest. The views are breathtaking. Especially the visit to the caves when it’s sunset, paints a memorable view of matera at night adorned with lights. Strongly recommend everyone to not miss this tour on their matera trip

    A nice experience to walk in the natural environment of the park. The guide is very good and explained everything clearly. The night scenery of Matera is amazing.

    Parco della Murgia Materana

    The vast Murgico plateau facing the Sassi of Matera constitutes the "Regional Park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera" since 2007 also declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. It is a large rocky hilly area marked by deep karst fissures called: "Gravine". During this historical-naturalistic walk, the visitor will be able to walk through the narration of the guide the path of man, starting from the Paleolithic settlements, to the entrenched Neolithic villages of "Murgia Timone", from the pastoral communities of the Middle Ages to the rock settlements of the hermit communities Greek-Byzantine. Along a dirt path you proceed along the deep canyon of the ravine. Finally we reach the so-called belvedere to admire the panorama of the Sassi which, illuminated by a myriad of suggestive lights, will offer the visitor the perception of having the starry sky under the feet of an upside-down galaxy .........!

    Duration 120 minutes
