Exploring Matera with our guide Vito was great.. He should us many different places, even hidden ones places with interesting stories behind them. He has got a lot of knowledge and he answered all our questions.

Visiting the caves and museum was a very nice experience. Learning the history of the cave dwelling and how it became a unesco world heritage site.

We enjoyed our private tour with Vito. He took us to the less-touristy spots so that we could really get a feel for cave-culture and how the city has developed from 'shame of Italy' to UNESCO world heritage site. This was my aunt's favorite tour of our entire 2-week trip as she thought Vito was the most knowledgeable, but also knew how to answer a lot of questions we had. Matera is stunning and it's great to know some backstory but also where the spots of some famous films have been filmed :)

Vito, our tour guide is a local from the Matera area. His grandparents and father lived in the Sassi. His knowledge of the old Sassi was extraordinary. We actually got to go inside one of the original cave dwellings in the area. We learnt so much about the history of the Sassi and its people. It was a tremendous tour and would highly recommend both the tour and the tour guide, Vito

There is so much to learn about the fascinating city of Matera! We are so pleased we decided to book a tour with Vito. He's highly knowledgeable and personable and the tour was very well paced and interesting. In addition, he kindly shared restaurant recommendations and gave us suggestions for additional things to see on our own. Taking a tour of Matera with Vito was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Italy!
