Superficial info for sites; fell short of potential.
Mapping was difficult to follow despite cross referencing with google maps as instructed.
Get a live guide and experience Matera.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Cynthia, we're sorry you didn't enjoy our experience! The person answering you is a tour guide who knows the value of a "live guide" experience! However, they also know that: 👉🏻it costs a lot more 👉🏻you have to leave at specific times 👉🏻you have to follow the guide's pace 👉🏻you can't take breaks whenever you want 👉🏻did I mention it costs a lot more 😬?
For navigation, we use Google Maps because we believe it's the most reliable and easy-to-use service!
I hope this answer can help other travelers!

Absolutely rubbish it was a scam. There was no one to meet. There was no instructions on how to listen to the tour. I have reported this to my bank.
Response from Host, May 2026
Hi Vasa, I'm writing the same thing here that I sent you on WhatsApp. As specified in the product description, it's a digital guide for self-guided city tours. Therefore, you won't meet a physical guide in person, but you can explore Matera at your own pace and at your own pace 😌.
We sent you a message and an email shortly after booking (which were ignored), and you didn't even contact us to ask for assistance or how to use the digital guide; you simply decided to leave a negative review 😒.
I hope this response can help other travelers.

Map is not convenient.
I was expecting clear direction where to go next.
The story was boring. I could as well use chat gpt.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Ciao! We use google maps since it is the most reliable and easy-to-use provider!
You may prefer chat gpt only if: you don't care about having verified and authentic information, you don't care about having local trivia, you don't care about being sure that the food recommendations are true and tested by our guides!
All this verified info, cost less then a pizza! 🍕
I hope this answer can help other travelers 😎.

Great easy to follow audio guide of the important sites in Matera. We used the audio guide in conjunction with Google maps to find various locations. The audio explanations were clear with just the right amount of details. I plan on using these guides in Taormina, Syracuse, and Palermo.

It is impossible to download the link. It's not true that they pick you up. A fiasco, silver thrown away and I wasn't the only one

Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hi, the instructions to activate the guide are included in the voucher, in the whatsapp message that arrives immediately after booking and in the email that arrives the night before the experience. I don't know what you mean by "download the link" so I have a hard time answering on that point 🤔 However, for any issues we are always very responsive to respond and so we are sorry that you did not contact us via WhatsApp, phone or from Viator / Tripadvisor.
👋🏻I hope this response can help other travelers!
