Tuktuk in joy ❤️ - Tour in bee calessino nothing short of fantastic. Our guide Francesco made this experience unique. Prepared, nice and professional. There were 5 of us with our dog on board. Family welcome. Francesco with his sympathy told us the story of Matera making us have fun. He also advised us where to have lunch or dinner and even advised us where to buy typical local products. In short, thanks to Francesco living Matera was unique. I recommend Martulli Viaggi.

Visit to the Sassi in Ape Calessino - First time in this lovely city. Francesco, our Guide, very prepared and very nice. He immersed us in the history of Matera telling us anecdotes and details was a nice blast from the past. Highly recommended.

I thought better - I ride the tuk tuk, nice all in all, but not worth the money spent.
It costs more than a taxi in Rome, apparently the whole city.
paid 90€ for 3 people when we were told 40 but this does not matter.
a 20-minute tour with acceptable explanations.
all places where it takes you are not included in the price (insane)
just to do a “typical” thing, but if you don’t have money to waste visit it on foot is even better
