Very beautiful places; in the evening, Matera is special, and seeing it from the cave side is a must. Guide Francesco was very professional. The cost might be a bit high for just one cave church and many caves. Fortunately, Francesco accompanied us, making the visit truly interesting with anecdotes and history. In any case, with this agency, I also did the tour in the sassi (with Brunella) and I am very satisfied.
Guide: Francesco was exceptional, very knowledgeable, engaging in explanations with continuous historical references, brilliant. Absolutely recommended!!!!
Splendid experience. Interesting and evocative. The guide Francesco is very knowledgeable and engaging.
The Murgia Park is definitely a place to visit. Visiting it accompanied by an experienced and prepared guide like Federico is an added value. The attention to detail and the clear exposure make the route, which is not particularly strenuous, a pleasure and continuous discovery. Spectacular view of the sunset on the stones.
Wonderful experience. Guide prepared and very kind
Advice to everyone. Clear and interesting display
Today April 25 a wonderful day in Matera with my husband, the Murgia trekking and Tibetan Bridge we loved it we discovered very suggestive corners such as the rock churches, really beautiful. The guide Piero made us feel safe even in the most demanding sections of the route, moreover his knowledge of the flora added something extra to the walk.
