Visite guidée de Matera au coucher du soleil : Murgia, Timone et Belvedere, avec transfert
Description
Découvrez le côté sauvage et ancestral de Matera lors d'une visite guidée à pied à travers le Parc régional des Églises rupestres. Après un transfert en groupe depuis le centre-ville de Matera, accédez à la zone protégée de Murgia Timone grâce au billet d'entrée inclus dans l'expérience. Cet accès privilégié vous permet de découvrir l'un des sites archéologiques les plus importants des environs de Matera, notamment l'ancien village néolithique, le belvédère offrant une vue panoramique sur les Sassi et les églises rupestres creusées dans la roche. En compagnie d'un guide expérimenté, parcourez des sentiers panoramiques surplombant le canyon de la Gravina et découvrez les églises rupestres de San Falcione et de la Madonna delle Tre Porte, ornées de fresques byzantines datant du XIIe au XVIIe siècle. Poursuivez votre chemin jusqu'à la colline spectaculaire du Golgotha, choisie par Mel Gibson comme lieu de tournage pour *La Passion du Christ* en raison de ses paysages saisissants et intemporels. Terminez la visite au coucher du soleil depuis le Belvédère, d'où les Sassi de Matera se parent d'une lumière dorée.

Our guide was vey knowledgeable on the flora/fauna as well as the history of the area. His pride and enthusiasm for his city was clear and he shared that with the group.
This was one of the best tours we have been on. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and the view points and experience was wonderful. Highly recommend. Just don’t forget shoes for hiking and a water bottle.
The guide Federico is very knowledgeable.
Grazie, Antonella! Siamo lieti che tu abbia apprezzato la competenza della nostra guida Federico. Speriamo di rivederti presto per un'altra fantastica esperienza!
The tour was wonderful, but unfortunately I left with a heavy heart seeing two skeletal kittens in terrible condition left there wandering without water or food in the Belvedere area of the Murgia park. One piece of advice, and please listen: take care of those creatures, bring water and food, and involve the local animal welfare organization for veterinary care. Your knowledgeable explanations and the breathtaking beauty of the experience are overwhelming, believe me, and the most vivid memory is leaving those poor creatures to die of hunger and thirst. As a tourist, I urge you not to ruin the prestige and high standard of this Italian gem, Matera: do not make us endure these pains amidst such beauty; take care of your kittens 🥹. P.S. Great Giusy, exceptional guide 🙂 I hope you can receive this appeal of mine and do something concrete. Thank you

The tour is enchanting. Wonderful place, the rock churches are fascinating. The guide Francesco, who is very knowledgeable in multiple areas, made the tour truly interesting. The organization was just sufficient.
Everything was great. Ivan was an amazing guide. Highly recommended
Vielen Dank, Steffen, für Ihre positive Rückmeldung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie die Tour genossen haben und Ivan dazu beitragen konnte. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder begrüßen zu dürfen.
A lovely tour lasting over 3 hours around sunset. Included a couple of churches, one of which is closed to public and has a good collection of frescos not able to visit without tour. As much a nature tour as history as the scenery is beautiful. Ivan the guide was brilliant - he clearly loved the area and the scenery and nature. You can get up here by foot but it’s a long walk and doesn’t have access to the church.
Paid for English tour but they gave us an Italian tour. The tour was specifically Italian. When we brought it to tour guides attention he attempted to do some English but much of the tour was not translated so putting the history together and understanding everything was difficult and much was lost. Some of the smaller elements of the tour were also missing. The tour was basically just the park and what could be seen there. The casle was never visited. On the up side the scenery and structures are spectacular. The guide tried his best to accommodate the English. We went to the tour company office and were finally offered a refund for the difference between the cost of English tour and Italian tour. They maybe could have done better since we missed out on most of the spoken part of the tour. A wonderful tour if you speak Italian.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the language service did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate that you recognized the guide’s effort and the beauty of the site. As discussed at our office, a partial refund for the language difference was offered, and we’ll use your comments to improve organization and clarity.
Experience with very interesting and pleasant driving
Grazie mille, Andrea! Siamo davvero felici che tu abbia trovato l'esperienza interessante e piacevole. È sempre fantastico sapere che i nostri sforzi vengono apprezzati.
I had booked months in advance the tour of the Murgia Materana at 6 pm on April 18. Two days earlier almost randomly, just because I had asked for a confirmation, I discovered that the tour was brought forward to 5.30 pm. I take note of the disappointment at the failure to communicate and they tell me that they would have warned me. In fact, on the same day some people complained about the failure to communicate time variation discovered by chance at the counter on the same day. Moreover, the automatic confirmation arrived for 6 pm, so very unclear!!! I put aside the disappointment at the little organization and prepare to live the experience, dreamed of for a long time. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I booked a tour that included a visit to the rock churches Madonna delle Tre Porte and San Falcione and I didn’t see any of this. We visited other equally interesting sites but that's not how it works! We were on the opposite side of the above attractions. Many other customers were puzzled. You don't change the schedule of a tour without even warning! Considering also the little organization in the previous phases I will certainly not turn to the same agency again. Too bad because the guides are really competent!
grazie per aver condiviso la sua esperienza, ci dispiace sinceramente per il disappunto. Ci teniamo però a fare chiarezza su alcuni aspetti importanti, così da aiutare anche altri viaggiatori a comprendere meglio le differenze tra i tour. Il tour da lei acquistato è quello nella zona della Murgecchia, al costo di €20, che include la visita alla Chiesa della Palomba. Come ricordato anche durante il suo passaggio in reception, aveva espresso proprio un dubbio su questa chiesa, avendo letto online che fosse chiusa: in realtà era regolarmente aperta ed è stata visitata durante l’esperienza. Diverso è invece il tour della Murgia Timone, che include siti come Madonna delle Tre Porte e San Falcione, e che ha un costo di €25 a persona, comprensivo anche di specifici accessi. Comprendiamo che possa esserci stata confusione tra le due esperienze, ma si tratta di itinerari distinti, con contenuti e prezzi differenti. Detto questo, prendiamo molto seriamente il tema della comunicazione: se qualcosa non è stato percepito in modo chiaro, è un aspetto su cui possiamo sicuramente migliorare. Ci dispiace che l’esperienza non abbia rispecchiato le aspettative, anche perché – come ha giustamente sottolineato – le guide fanno sempre del loro meglio per offrire un servizio di qualità. Rimaniamo a disposizione per qualsiasi chiarimento e speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente, guidandola nella scelta del tour più adatto alle sue aspettative.
