    Not worth it.

    Marina_D, Oct 2025
    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 😎. Ciao Walking Cap

    Great self guided audio guide

    Betsy_S, Feb 2025
    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.

    A fiasco

    Adrian_M, Sep 2025
    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, Sep 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!
