Itinerary
Matera is one of the oldest cities in the world whose territory preserves evidence of human settlements from the Palaeolithic and without interruption until today. It represents an extraordinary page written by man through the millennia of this very long history. World Heritage Site since 1993 and European Capital of Culture in 2019. With the classic and typical Ape Calessino ( tuk tuk), an Italian myth, which is very popular with families, especially with children in wheelchairs, we will cross the Old Town and the Sassi, as walking is very tiring, especially in summer, speeding through the narrow streets and alleys, making short stops for photos and videos and to visit churches in the squares and characteristic Case Grotte (House Museums).

We had a great time on the Ape Calessino Tour of the Sassi di Matera. It was such a fun and unique experience riding through the narrow streets. The tour is well-paced and covers the main highlights of the Sassi, with interesting information along the way. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience both enjoyable and informative. For all we were in Matera for 3 nights, this tour would be ideal if you’re only there for a short period of time, as it gives you a great overview without feeling rushed. Maybe not the best value for money for a 45 minute experience however, still highly recommended.
Grazie mille ☺️

Grazie mille ☺️
Excellent tour of historical highlights
Grazie mille ☺️
Antonio was very helpful and knowledgeable, an excellent tour for our first time in Matera, as a general visit. He stops several times at strategic viewpoints. Next time, we definitely need to take a different tour to enter the Sassi. The only thing, perhaps for the price of 35 euros each, we were four, the 50 minutes could be extended. Anyway, you get an excellent view of both the old and new city.
Grazie ☺️
We had a fantastic tour of Matera with Antonio. He was very friendly and showed us several beautiful spots around the city. He also took great photos for us, which made the experience even more special. We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Matera. Thank you, Antonio! 😊
Grazie mille 😚
A short tour of the city of Matera in a typical Italian tricycle, very charming.
Grazie mille ☺️
What a beautiful tour! Our guide Eustachio did not tire us; he was able to explain all the essentials to pique our curiosity, enhance our knowledge, but without boring us. The idea of visiting a typical house in the stones to truly understand the living conditions until a few decades ago is beautiful. Highly recommended!!
Grazie mille ☺️
This tour only makes sense if you do it right upon arrival in Matera... we were already there a day earlier and had expected more; the driver Antonio was very friendly and nice... We did not like that they stop at "souvenir shops" along the way....
Buongiorno. Mi spiace contraddirla, ma la sosta effettuata, che Lei indica come negozio di souvenir.... (l' unica del genere) , è stata effettuata per vedere un' opera d'arte e cioè i "Sassi in miniatura" , esposta in un'antica cisterna , fatta negli anni '90 , da un artigiano Materano a mano, con la pietra locale, "calcarenite" , chiamata in gergo tufo . È un' opera d'arte visitata da migliaia di turisti e molto apprezzata , che voi sicuramente non avevate visto, nonostante eravate a Matera dal giorno prima.... Peccato quindi che la vostra diffidenza.... vi abbia fatto fermare all' ingresso dell' attività, senza addentrarvi come vi ho consigliato, per ammirare l'opera. La prossima volta cercate di fidarvi un po' di più delle persone del posto. Grazie.
