History and humor

Renato was a phenomenal guide. Great combination of historical information and personal family experiences. His storytelling and sense of humor were greatly apreciated! The Sassi is intriguing and beautiful. The walk was not too demanding, though you do need to pay attention to uneven surfaces. Overall, a great activity!

Great tour

We booked this tour for our first day so that we could see the best areas quickly. We were then able to revisit where we wished, the guide was excellent with good knowledge and English. We were collected at our hotel and the correspondence between ourselves prior to our visit to Matera was excellent. Highly recommend.

Matera : Sassi tour with the iconic churches carved into the rock

MARIA_G, Sept 2026

Thorough and very informative!

My husband and I did this tour at 5:30pm to avoid the intense August heat in Matera. Patrizia was our guide and she was excellent! Her knowledge of the city was incredible and we never felt rushed at any of the stops. We really felt like she wanted to share her passion and knowledge of beautiful, ancient Matera. Just be aware there are lots of steps. Patrizia was very careful and warned us before every potential hazard to ensure we didn’t rush or slip. Overall an excellent, thorough and beautiful tour. Grazie mille, Patrizia!

BEST way to see Matera

This is by far the best way to see Matera. Our guide, even with limited English, was incredibly helpful and friendly and showed us everything we wanted to see and more. Plenty of time for photographs and getting out and seeing incredible views. This is a great thing for somebody with a mobility issues, and the central Meetup location was easily accessible by taxi.

From Matera : Murgia Park and Sassi at Sunset Tour

Walton_T, May 2026

Touring Outlying Areas Around Matera.

The tour to Murgia Park was beautiful, allowing us to see some of the areas surrounding the Sassi portion of Matera. We were able to tour a cave church, learn about the refrigeration system of past centuries, and learn about some of the native plants of the area. The weather was quite nice. However, the low cloud cover on the evening of our tour did not allow for a magnificent sunset as we had hoped. To compensate for this disappointment was the ability to see the night lights of Matera’s Sassi area across the deep canyon between us. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful with answering our questions. This was a very pleasant and enjoyable tour!

Matera by Night. Entrance fees included Cave House and Rock Church.

Lost in Italian

I did the tour knowing it was in Italian but there was no English option at that time. I loved walking around in the evening and the point is to view the sight. The best part and why I booked the tour was the entry to a church and cave house that I otherwise would not have seen.

Long Private Panoramic Tour with Ape Calessino in Matera

Brenda_G, Oct 2025

Fun way to see the city!

Super fun way to see Matera and get some history. We had done a walking tour earlier in day and I was afraid it was going to be same thing. It was not. It built on the other tour. This tour stopped at a recreated cave house and the miniature museum as well as great viewpoints and church of St. Peter. It rained on our evening tour but it was still fun.

Magnificence in Matera

Had an amazing birdseye view of Sassi and also a cave house, plus a few other notable sights along the way. Loved being able to be in the historic spaces without having to walk to them, opportunities to step out and take pictures, and a hospitable driver/guide to “escort” us from place to place.
