I’d give more stars if I could! Vito was a very engaging guide—knowledgeable, interesting, and friendly. We learned a lot and also made a new friend in Bari.

Vito was knowledgeable, and seemed interested in sharing that knowledge with us the first part of our trip. As the tour progressed he seemed to lose interest. At the end of the tour he asked us to grab a drink or a sandwich for lunch while he went to get the car. He said to take our time. Maybe we took too much time, because he drove us back to Bari exceeding 150 km/hour almost all the way. We were eight bug eyed, terrified, praying Americans! One of us even texted her children to say she loved them, just in case we didn’t survive the trip. Vito did not speak to us from Matera to Bari.

Sorry for this

Our guide Vito was passionate, knowledgeable and very informative. He was able to relate the history of the area and point out specific areas of interest- that otherwise we would not have discovered / been aware of.

They were a no show. I travelled from the USA to visit. I lost taxi money, time an entire day when i could have been on another tour. I should have been informed the day before and not 2 hours after. I was at spot early and waited 2 hours. It was hot. Lack of consideration. I will consider not booking with you in the future. You shouldhave xlconfirmed tours for guests.

What beautiful sights with a fantastic guide. Vito’s Matera and Alberobello tour is a great way to see two beautiful towns in one day. Vito was a great guide who was very knowledgeable. Definitely must see destinations while in Puglia

Vito was the best tour guide I ever had! He was extremely knowledgeable and funny. The tour was awesome and allowed me to see Matera in an effortless way. Definitely recommend this tour and any other of Vito’s tours!

I was picked up at my BNB right on time by Vito to then get the rest of the group. We drove to Matera and he took us through the old town. It was very quiet as there was a celebration going on in the new part. It was lovely walking through the little streets and learning the history. We were able to take pictures & shop for souvenirs. We then drove to Alberobello which he added on for free!! It was much busier here and very hot, but I was excited to see the Trulli’s. The little town is so cute making everywhere a picture to be taken. He took us to his favourite place to eat and we stopped for lunch. We then looked through some old/original Trullis and to a place to taste some EVOO 😋
Had such a fun day, definitely worth going on this tour,

The Matera tour was spectacular and amazing. The city is such a beauty but with Natalia, our tour guide, the experience was taken to the next level. Natalia is knowledgeable, passionate, fun and friendly. She explains things in a way that make the experience an unforgettable one.
I highly recommend this tour and Natalia.

This was one of the most memorable tours. Not only are the towns of Mattera and Alberobello beautiful and a must-see, our guide Vito was so passionate and eager to share everything about the region and its rich history. If you're planning to visit these towns, I highly recommend this tour. I couldn't imagine seeing it any other way.

Vito was very knowledgeable of the history Matera very hot on that day but we enjoyed and learned so much
Nicole_E, Apr 2022
I was traveling solo in Bari and saw this trip where I could go to Matera. It isn’t the easiest to get there without a car so this tour was just right. Vito was great and he was on time and we got to spend a good amount of time in Matera. He gave us a nice tour and would let us kind of be on our own while we took photos. He has so much knowledge and passion for the region so it was nice. I only went to Matera so it was a half day, which was nice. He has other options where you can go to other cities.

Eine faszinierende Stadt mit Geschichte. Hier findet man alles bom Paläolithikum bis zur Neuzeit. Die Anstrengung unzähliger Stiegen bei fast 40 Grad Temperatur hat sich aber gelohnt
