Vito was truly an excellent guide and explained and helped us appreciate Matera! Even the children were enthusiastic!
Vito was a wonderful guide he made the trip special
Communication with tour operator was fantastic from booking through confirmation and instructions for pick up spot! Vito was our guide on this comfortable Tuk Tuk tour…great information and saw sites we surely would have missed on our own. Highly recommend!!
This was a spectacular way to see Matera and Vito is a wonderful tour guide. He did a great job bringing the history to life and answered our many questions. We went at sunset, which I recommend for the dramatic views.
A bit disappointing & not good value for money. While guide provided some good history on Matera , tour didn’t include major Cathedral - we had to ask to stop & pay own entrance fee. We visited a typical cave & miniature town model which was typical tourist attraction .
I'm sorry Maureen! You had exactly what you booked! Actually more... Tour was 1hr and 15 minutes Pick up from the hotel was not included and map neither! There are longer tour to see the cathedral, rock churches and more... The tour is 1 hr long with a guide and a tuk tuk only for you(we had 80 before taxes). My suggestion is to give a real feedback on site that's help us to improve our service. So thank you
Really enjoyed this tour. Vito is very knowledgeable and passionate with his city. So glad we booked it! Highly recommended! Good communication.
Fabulous! What a wonderful way to see beautiful Matera! Vito was terrific and so very informative. We loved this tour!
Our guide Vito was awesome. He told us a lot about the history of the town and also his family. He made pictures of us and knew the best foto stops. We got a map after the tour and additional ideas for our visit.
Vito picked us up in his beautiful bright red Ape at our hotel and began telling us about Matera from that moment. We learned a great deal about Matera’s long ago history as well as its transformation after WWII. We now know that Coca Cola can be used to make streets slippery in case you need to film a high speed car chase. As a result of his recommendation, we tried peperone crusco (fried sweet peppers) at lunch and loved it. We had a great time:
This is a fun experience , gives you a bit of history and let's you see what you might come back to. Excellent for those of us who are mobility challenged.
