Beautiful sunset tour - I thought this tour was well worth the time. We drove with our guide, Anita who is an expert in history and facts of Matera and shared some of this with us as we drove to the mesa/plateau that overlooks the Sassi and the canyon. We had just enough time to see and understand what she was describing, as well as get done amazing sunset fotos. Blessings on the Driver, who drive into the sun to get us there! With Snita's history and story telling, one starts to get a "glimpse" of what it might be like to live in the Sassi. Fantastic tour. Ringrazi Anita and driver!

Great tour - Great tour. The guide Michele is a local and taught me about the history of Matera. He pointed out the local plants that thrives here. He also showed us two rock churches with beautiful frescoes and their history. The view of Matera from the park is magical.

What a sunset - Well managed. Great experience seeing flora and fauna and fortified ancient farm. The rock churches were fascinating and the view of Matera at sunset was just great. Our local guide was very knowledgeable and had a great passion for Matera and its heritage.

You can't get around Matera without a good guide - Agency found by chance, but immediately they seemed very very skilled. We did both the sunset park tour (a really amazing sight) and the day after the rock tour, really interesting. The guides, Federico and Beppe really very good and engaging. Highly recommended.

Murgia tour at sunset: Michele top! - Michele was exhaustive and engaging: he explained how to recognize many wild herbs, he showed us two rock churches transformed into dwellings and took us to the most scenic places for sunset photos. Great experience, thanks Michele!

The best view of Matera - Patricia was amazing. She was passionate about Matera and provided wonderful insight to the history and lifestyle including the surrounding nature. The views are spectacular and even more magical when we returned at dusk to see the lights go on and the setting sun. An absolute highlight of our trip. Thank you again.
