Tour ok - Meeting in the city center with possibility of paid parking near . Quick appeal and delivery / return of radiolines. Tour with very nice route “see a little ‘everything” and I appreciated the “less touristy” anecdotes that the guide told.
The only flaw and therefore improveable is the radioline service that take only max about 15 meters (maybe even less) if you are many you always find yourself crowded around the guide.

Wonderful - There are no words to describe Matera. I informed myself before going to visit, but nothing you see online, nor anything you read about the city, is a small picture of what you feel when you arrive. It's an impressive site with countless churches, caves. There are no words. I highly recommend. In summer I recommend going in the morning. The heat is a lot.

Two full and intense hours to remember with great pleasure along with the uncovered views of this beautiful city. Thank you from all of our group.
