Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into the town over the years and how it had transformed. Small group of 6 was perfect and pace was good. Make sure you bring water.

      Tour covers all the highlights was well explained and a good pace. The radio’s helped you hear the guide while you walked.

      Walk around the Sassi.

      Paul_T, Oct 2026
      A very pleasant walk around the highlights of the Sassi in a group setting. The weather was perfect. Although there were a lot of tourists around and we were a group of 10 without headsets, the pace was leisurely, and it was easy to listen to our guide. Recommend.

      History in Matera

      Vincent_B, Sep 2026
      Such a wonderful experience with Lorenzo. He is so knowledgeable about the area, takes time for questions, and speaks excellent English. We were a group of four, which made it seem like a private tour. We learned so much about the Matera area and are so happy we got Lorenzo as our guide!

      Very good experience.

      Patricia_J, Jun 2026
      I had a last minute cancellation because the guide was sick but I was added to a Passi Nei Sassi group,which was also a small group. Patrizia was a kind and knowledgeable guide who gave useful information on the history of the sassi. I would recommend the tour.

      Carol_W, Sep 2025
      Thanks to Georgia we really enjoyed this tour and would never have seen some of the streets without her! She spoke excellent English and thanks to the headsets we could hear everything as some of the areas were crowded. I liked the smaller group and would highly recommend this tour.

      Ask for Antonio, first-rate tour!

      Greg_D, Sep 2025
      Really enjoyed Antonio's tour! He was really knowledgeable about history of Matera, and put it all into context: geography, ethnology, socioeconomics. He was super friendly and humorous, would certainly choose him again.

      Such great insights

      Laura_E, Sep 2025
