A valid and innovative driving system - A good way to tour independently, respecting your own times and discovering many curiosities of Matera accompanied by an audio guide

good experience at a more than reasonable price - very practical audio guide for those who want to visit without constraints. The explanations are succinct but sufficient. The breakpoints are guided by Google Maps and arrive at the site, audio is launched or explanations are read. This makes it possible not to miss anything We made a first tour of the city in open access, and a second tour with audio guide , and it is still more interesting being guided. (It is better to provide a backup battery for the phone) Good experience at a more than reasonable price I advise him and will use this type of guide for the rest of my trip.

Meh... - There's so much to see in Matera and just a little more research about some of the lesser visited areas passed by during the walking tour could easily have been included. Much of the information provided is also included already on the interpretive panels around town.

High hopes, but disappointing in the end. - I had high hopes for this as we’ve used other walking tours with audio guides before. It quickly turned into a disappointment when the first point on the tour was literally a doorway where he could walk in and pay more money to see caves. After that it became more and more difficult to find our way because it uses Google maps, which may or may not be loading properly. The better products I’ve used integrate the GPS directions into the app, but instead, this one uses a webpage and it all looks the same. Each step of the way you can get lost in the labyrinth of Matera small roads. Too easy to take a wrong turn and lose the direction. Another serious failing in my opinion is that it’s very much like an academic lecture without many interesting facts or any sense of humour. Maybe I miss some of the interesting detail, but we gave up halfway through it because it was too frustrating, hard to see in the sun, and we spent most of our time looking at our phone trying to find out where we were instead of the incredible sites. I ended up just finding our way to different locations and googling the history.

Not worth $7 spent - Superficial info for sites; fell short of potential. Mapping was difficult to follow despite cross referencing with google maps as instructed. Get a live guide and experience Matera.

Rubbish - Absolutely rubbish it was a scam. There was no one to meet. There was no instructions on how to listen to the tour. I have reported this to my bank.
