The Sassi of Matera
Description
The visit begins in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, a beautiful nineteenth-century square from where you will enjoy a panoramic view of the Civita and the Sasso Barisano. We will move through the narrow streets of the center admiring works of artistic and architectural importance up to the imposing belvedere of Piazza Duomo overlooking the Sasso Barisano. We will continue among the steps of the Sassi until we reach some cave churches, a typically furnished cave house and a historic cellar.

Professional visit, very appreciated
Grazie mille per averci scelto. Vi aspettiamo alla prossima occasione
Matera, what a spectacle!!! If Giuseppe is the guide, the spectacle also becomes history and culture. Well done.
grazie mille per averci scelto. Alla prossima occasione
The guide VITO was excellent, and despite the difficulties of climbing up and down the streets of Matera and the heat... he was also able to lighten the mood with small jokes and anecdotes. Very straightforward in his explanation but very thorough. Very willing to provide any information... Highly recommended
Grazie mille a voi per averci scelto. Vi aspettiamo alla prossima occasione
Both the tour of the stones with Marisa and the visit to the Murgia and its rock churches at sunset with the guide Antonio were beautiful and well organized. Both guides were very knowledgeable and kind.
grazie mille per il vs feedback , ne siamo felici:)
We did, always with Info Matera, two more guided tours: "sunset over the Murgia" and Old Bari. The guides (Giuseppe, Raffaele, and Lia) were exceptional, very knowledgeable and available, absolutely not boring, in fact, very nice... Kudos to the organization that managed to arrange our guided tour of Old Bari in just a few hours. Well done!

Excellent experience with Info Matera TravelAgo! The guided tours were organized impeccably, with prepared, professional staff who were always available to meet every need. A special thanks to Gabriella, Adriano, and Agostino, who with competence, friendliness, and passion made the discovery of Matera even more interesting and engaging. Timely service, perfect organization, and great attention to detail. I particularly appreciated the transparency and honesty of the prices, which were absolutely fair considering the high quality offered.

grazie mille a voi per aver scelto noi e per aver mostrato fiducia nei nostri servizi. E' stato un piacere, speriamo di rivedervi presto :)
We already knew that Matera is wonderful, and what made our day even more beautiful was Giusi, our guide; I highly recommend her. Besides her experience, she made our visit full of emotions and was able to keep our attention. Everything is well organized!!!
grazie mille a voi per aver scelto la nostra agenzia. A presto
We did a guided tour of the Sassi di Matera with Info Matera and in particular with Giuseppe, and it was a really beautiful experience. Giuseppe is a very knowledgeable, engaging and passionate guide: you can immediately feel how much he loves his city and how much he wants to transmit its history and traditions. The tour was very interesting and never boring, full of anecdotes and clear explanations that made us discover Matera from an authentic perspective. In addition to the most famous places, Giuseppe pointed out details that alone we would never have captured. An experience that really enriches the visit and allows you to grasp the essence of the city. Absolutely recommend! :)
Very professional guide and very pleasant tour not to be missed. As the guide put it: "visiting a tourist spot without a guide is like a silent movie."
