Exhilarating and Fascinating - What started out to be an exhilarating and worthwhile walk turned into a fascinating historical overview of the area opposite the Sissi. We were on the 6:00pm tour, which terminated at sunset, which happened to be quite spectacular with wispy clouds on the horizon. We visited a couple of rock/cave churches, as well as the set of a soon to be filmed movie. Loved it!!

Matera - Beautiful and very interesting place. The guide was exhaustive in its explanations. Matera and the Murgia park are worth more than a visit

Beautiful walk to the Murgia Park - Great guided tour, to do in the afternoon to admire the city that lights up at sunset. Our guide Federico , gave us a lot of interesting information both for the flora and fauna of the Oltte Park and its geological formation. Also interesting is the visit to two rock churches.

Murgia excursion - It was a fantastic excursion from all points of view..... The credit goes to Claudio Montemurro who guided us impeccably throughout the route.

To "close the circle" - A truly beautiful experience in Matera, enriched by this tour that allows you to "close the circle" of the fascinating history of the city. Being back as a boy, compared to me a child of the school trip, allowed me to appreciate this land, especially thanks to the wisdom of our guide, extremely exhaustive and passionate.

Everything Great!!! - We made this tour with friends, after first visiting Matera city of stones, always with their Guida. The experience with the guide Francesco (geologist and archaeologist) was nothing short of exciting, thanks to the narration seasoned with stories and anecdotes, which made the historical story pleasant. Thank you Francesco from our group of Milanese.

Skip it and find another tour - We went to the meeting place a day before and were told that the tour would start at 5, not 5:30 as was scheduled. We got there on time and by 5:15 nobody was giving us any explanation as to why the tour was delayed. We finally set out on a mini bus, got to the destination and were on the bus for 15 minutes just sitting there again without any explanation as to what was happening. The guide who was going to give the tour in Italian was late but our guide was on the bus. We then got out of the bus and started the tour with Claudio. He's a very nice guy, but his English is not. He had a lot of difficulty explaining things, his sentences didn't make sense at times. We were looking forward to seeing the churches and hiking in the park, but they need to be more organized and hire people with better language skills.
