Well organised, great day trip - Well organised, left promptly at each place, and the perfect amount of time to explore. Alberobello was more touristic than expected. Matera was stunning. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, I made the mistake of sandals!!

Great way to see these two very different cities - Great trip and an easier way to see these two beautiful and very different towns. Unfortunately for us we had our first delay of 45 minutes when the bus was caught in a traffic jam. Our second delay was for people who were late back to the bus (always make sure you are on time!!) The third when the bus was late in Matera by nearly an hour. Consequently we only had 20 minutes of spare time in Matera and about 45 minutes in Alberobello. The group we had was particularly slow, so the guided part went for a bit longer than necessary. Very frustrating. The trip itself was wonderful and Fabio, our guide was very knowledgeable. Would still recommend it, we just had a few delays which were not usual and not necessarily the fault of the company

Good but bus needs better aircon - The locations were amazing! Really enjoyed both places. Beautiful and interesting, so glad we got to see both. Unfortunately I found the bus too hot. Its advertised as air conditioned but it was not cool at all. By the time we got to Matera I felt really unwell and I was using a hand held fan. It was boiling.

Alberobello and Matera - The organisation of the tour and the bus (and driver) was very good. The guided tours of both Alberobello and Matera were not good. There were too many people on the tour and therefore it was very difficult to hear the guide during the tours. Overall the bus and tour was perfectly on schedule, if you don’t want to hear the guide, then no problem.

Very nice bus ride. - Even though the bus takes you to 2 very interesting places it's only a bus ride. If you don't pay extra for special guides, then you just get driven to the two places.And you're on your own. You can get by on your own in Alberabllo but not materra. No, one on the bus to give you some highlights. Just a video. The price, however, is worth the bus ride because it would be way more expensive to try to take a taxi or a private car to the 2 places.

Misleading tour - For the price paid: 60 Euros, I was expecting to have a guide. No explanation was given. We were dumped at the locations by coach and had only a leaflet with a reduced map to follow. Other groups from different companies had a guide tour. We were all lost, trying to follow each other. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
