Canceled on me, have no respect for the company. Very unfortunate and not good for intervals travelers

This was an excellent tour T a bargain price.. Dominica was our guide, he was very friendly. We were a small group myself and a family of 3 from Dublin. Starting off at 10.00 am we cycled through and out if the Sassi stopping at some view points along the way and went out of Mayera visiting some very old cave dwellings and Rick churches with amazing views back to the Sassi. The electric bikes were brilliant and have made me want to buy one when I return home. Make sure to take some water with you although the bike does a lot of the heavy lifting you will appreciate a drink.

While Matera Bike Tour has hit upon an excellent idea, the e-bike tour lacked in professionalism and execution. One of our group had a flat tire midway through the ride and the guide did not have an air pump, spare tube, or any of the other equipment you would expect from a professional company. Instead, we waited for an hour for a truck to bring a spare bike. Once delivered, the replacement bike’s kickstand was faulty and fell at least 7 times while being ridden. The tour itself consisted of riding rapidly to different viewpoints. Our guide’s English was very poor and the information she provided was factually inaccurate- whether this inaccuracy was due to poor translation or actual lack of knowledge, I cannot say. We were disappointed not to learn more about the history of the area and the city. Upon return to the store, we were told by our guide that we had to pay for the tour in cash. When it was pointed out to our guide that this would have been useful information to have before the tour so that we didn’t have to make a hurried ATM trip, she became argumentative and insisted that she had told us, which she clearly had not. The sites are beautiful and e-bikes are a fun way to tour. However, Matera Bike Tour is not the company to use until/unless it fixes some very fundamental issues.

Agostina lead us to phantastic places through the Sassi and in the Murgia area which we would never have found otherwise. Her explanations in good English were very interesting.

Mooie tocht onder begeleiding van 2 gidsen, die de veiligheid tijdens de ganse tocht garanderen! Deze excursie geeft een prachtig uitzicht op Matera vanaf de andere kant van de ravijn.

Esperienza suggestiva, particolare e dinamica per scoprire Matera e il parco della Murgia. Ottima organizzazione e la guida Domenico estremamente gentile, professionale e accogliente!

Massimo S

Sinteticamente vorrei esprimere il mio apprezzamento per la professionalità, la cortesia e la simpatia della nostra guida Agostina, nonché per la comodità delle bici. Vale la proprio la pena fare un tour nel parco della Murgia per riempirsi gli occhi delle meraviglie di questi posti e per vedere i Sassi da un'altra prospettiva
