Esta visita guiada a pie ofrece una experiencia más completa y profunda de los Sassi de Matera, Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, diseñada para aquellos que quieran ir más allá de un simple paseo panorámico. Acompañado por un guía local, explorará los distritos históricos, adentrándose en el corazón de la ciudad excavada en la roca. El recorrido incluye la entrada a dos iglesias rupestres con frescos, incluida la famosa Madonna de Idris, suspendida sobre el Sasso Caveoso, donde preciosos frescos dan testimonio de la profunda espiritualidad y la expresión artística de la Matera medieval. Otro momento clave de la experiencia es la visita a una casa-cueva típicamente amueblada, tal como era antes de los años 50, que permite comprender de forma concreta las condiciones reales de vida de las familias que vivían en los Sassi antes de la evacuación. El recorrido concluye con una degustación sencilla y auténtica de productos típicos de Lucania, pensada como un momento de convivencia para completar la experiencia con los sabores de la zona.
El recorrido comienza con una primera lectura simbólica de la Matera barroca con una visita externa a la Iglesia del Purgatorio, introduciendo la conexión entre la fe, la muerte y el renacimiento en la cultura local.
Corazón elegante de la ciudad histórica, es el punto de partida ideal para comprender la evolución urbana de Matera antes de adentrarse en los Sassi.

Se entra en el Sasso Barisano para visitar una de las iglesias rupestres más representativas, con frescos y salas excavadas que cuentan la historia de la espiritualidad medieval.
Un paso fundamental para comprender la vida cotidiana de los Sassi: habitaciones amuebladas como antes de los años cincuenta y un relato de las condiciones reales de vida de las familias.
Uno de los tramos más sugerentes del recorrido, con vistas abiertas a la Gravina y al Parque de las Iglesias Rupestres, donde naturaleza e historia se encuentran.
Una parada fotográfica en el corazón del Sasso Caveoso, rodeado de una de las vistas más emblemáticas de Matera.

Our guide, Mr. Antonio, proved to be not only a pleasant and helpful person but also competent and experienced, always attentive and punctual with all the answers to our most diverse questions and curiosities. A tour not to be missed!!!
Excellent day supported by the exquisite Giusy! I recommend a guided trip to everyone because without explanations you cannot understand the reasons for this splendid city
Stella was an awesome guide. Welcoming and friendly when we met. Spoke good English. Most importantly her knowledge and passion for Matera and the Sassi was impressive. As a result we learned fascinating facts and insights we would otherwise not have learned. The tour was well paced especially given the extreme heat. Stella’s recommendation for lunch was perfect and we also enjoyed checking out the old water system she recommended we see. We highly recommend this tour. Thanks Stella for an interesting and insightful day 👍🏻
Fantastic experience with Giusi
What a beautiful experience! We booked a guided tour of the Sassi and discovered a wonderful world rich in history, architecture, and a people capable of building in an extraordinary way and living together in peace for many centuries! All this thanks to Silvana, a wonderful guide who fascinated us with her storytelling; she was so engaging that while she was speaking, you could imagine life in the Sassi! Thank you, I will carry this splendid day in Matera in my heart!
Very beautiful and well-explained visit. Our guide Giuseppe was impeccable, knowledgeable, and friendly. Hours spent very pleasantly! Recommended!
This was a very interesting and educational tour of Matera that introduced us to its ancient history. Our guide pointed out the conditions of living in Sassi before the people occupying these cave-like dwellings were relocated to modern housing. The unique geography and architecture of Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso, including its winding stone-paved streets, rupestrian churches attracted the film industry and business boomed after Matera was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Very interesting, enchanting, and informative experience.
Everything was very interesting with a friendly and professional guide
Grazie mille, Silvia, per il tuo gentile commento! Siamo felici che tu abbia apprezzato l'esperienza e la guida professionale. Torna presto a trovarci per altre storie affascinanti!
Lorenzo was fantastic - charming, passionate, thorough, etc. I truly recommend it!!!
Grazie mille, siamo lieti che Lorenzo abbia reso la tua esperienza così positiva! Speriamo di rivederti presto!
Our tour in English of Matera was with Barbara. She guided us on an enjoyable walk through the city that allowed us to see the city from various perspectives. We also had private access to one of the small rock churches. However, she was not welcoming or enthusiastic, her English communication skills made her difficult to understand, she was on the phone and texting for approximately 20 minutes (seemingly or personal calls) and she did not follow the advertised itinerary. Our group had an enjoyable time because of the beauty of the city but, look elsewhere for a private tour.
Thank you for your feedback, David. We're sorry to hear about your experience. Please contact our customer service team so we can address these concerns and work towards improving our services for you and future guests.
