Sassi of Matera - Since Matera is hilly, this was the perfect way to view this amazing city as we saw more than we could have on foot. There was a car park opposite the meeting point, which made it very convenient. Our tour guide was animated and informative and was happy to answer any questions. The cave house was very interesting and there was time to walk up to the church for those who wanted to. I would recommend this tour.
