The site is located in the southern region of Basilicata and consists of the ancient settlement of Matera and the Park of the Rupestrian Churches, which are built into the natural caves of the Murge plateau. Covering an area of 1,016 hectares, this extraordinary and well-preserved troglodytic settlement includes more than a thousand dwellings, along with a remarkable number of shops and commercial establishments.
The trulli of Alberobello in Puglia are famous worldwide and have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. Their charm is linked to a mysterious origin, esoteric symbolism, and an incredibly modern eco-sustainable architecture.

It is a fascinating but long day. In Matera our group size was too large. Without a Vox system it was difficult to hear. The second tour was half the size and more manageable.
Not as advertised - the operator isn’t the guide. Each city they connect you w a guide. In Matera, I had to leave the tour early to make my way back to the group meeting place (w no time for bathroom break or lunch). The guide seems to have no idea what time the 3 of us on her tour had to be back. In the second stop w waited 1/2 hr or more for the guide. On the return the bus stopped in two other cities (not directly on the way) to drop people off. I’d recommend booking with an operator who is also the guide. That said, tours were good and the cities lovely, but for the money I’d expect a different experience.
Great experience, but the ideal would be to see each place on different days. So the enjoyment would be better because it would not be so tired.
The tours were terrific. We took both tours on the same day and it was a full but extremely interesting day. These two tours complimented each other because they were totally different but had many things about them that chronologically made sense. What a wonderful, exciting, interesting day! Both tour guides and our driver were excellent. Tours and transportation was right on time for every stop.
Matera history and tour guide gave a great amount of history. Also suggested books to read about the area. Trulli tour was excellent. 5 star!
