Great. Very informative and interesting. There is nothing like knowing the history of a place to understand it better.
Nicola is a luxury. He made us live the experience with detailed stories; being from the area, it is more enjoyable since what he tells he also experienced himself or through his family. He knows a lot and is passionate about sharing. At no point did he seem rushed to finish at the time he mentioned. He extended quite a bit. Highly recommended!
To truly understand the history and evolution of a city and its inhabitants with someone who loves and feels their city.
Excellent tour, our guide, Nicola Ruggieri, showed us Matera very professionally and with the passion to belong there. After that tour, we left in love with Matera and with the certainty that without guidance, we would not have understood the essence of the place.
