Visite des Sassi de Matera, entrée de la maison troglodyte et de l'église rupestre
Description
Découvrir Matera, la ville des Sassi qui a le titre de Capitale européenne de la culture pour 2019 et un site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Les anciens quartiers de pierre se caractérisent par des maisons creusées dans le calcaire et des églises rupestres qui le rendent unique au monde. Cette conformation naturelle, qui évoque des scénarios bibliques, en a toujours fait des décors idéaux pour des films importants, en dernier lieu le film de Ben Hur.

Very informative guide however she did speak English with a very strong Italian accent so not always easy to understand.
The location of meeting point was very well explained and easy to find. Would recommend comfortable shoes as walking around Matera anyway there is lots of steps. Anna our tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the history. Her English was perfect. It rained on our tour which was fascinating seeing Matera water system. We had a cute Italian man sing with us in a little church in the city who was actually born in Sassi and left when he was about 20 years old. Bring a couple euro coins if you want to tip. It was very informative and helpful to understand the history. Would recommend to book, otherwise you will be walking around imagining and guessing. Anna was helpful with her descriptions on what life in the Sassi was like.
Experience that we recommend, the guide, Antonio Pizzulli, is very skilled and knowledgeable!!
We visited the Sassi of Matera with Giusy, a guide who, with her knowledge and friendliness, helped us appreciate and understand these unique and somewhat magical places even more. It was truly a wonderful experience!
Grazie mille! Siamo felicissimi che Giusy vi abbia fatto apprezzare ancora di più la magia unica dei Sassi.
A pleasant and knowledgeable guided tour, complete and detailed. Thanks to Benedetto, who shared a wealth of information about this city that we would not have understood otherwise. Truly compliments to Benedetto for the thorough and engaging explanation.
Grazie di cuore! Siamo felici che Benedetto abbia reso la visita piacevole, completa e mai noiosa con le sue spiegazioni.
Beautiful experience, the guide Antonio is top-notch.
Grazie Paola per il tuo feedback! Siamo lieti che tu abbia avuto un'esperienza bellissima e che Antonio sia stato all'altezza delle aspettative. Speriamo di rivederti presto!

Grazie mille! Siamo felici che la visita sia stata completa e che la guida sia stata apprezzata. Consiglio davvero gradito!
Our guide, from Ukraine, was well informed, patient and kind. We throughly enjoyed the tour and all the info. What a truly amazing historical place - a one off!Centuries of history
The guide did not do any justice to Matera, I got more information from asking the internet… she does not seem to have a good sense of history of the place. And simply pointing out “caves here” and “caves there”.
Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read that the experience did not meet your expectations. However, after speaking directly with the guide, we would like to clarify what happened during the tour. According to the guide, the tour was not completed because you decided to leave after approximately 40 minutes. The reason given was that the route seemed too difficult and not suitable, especially due to the stairs and the walking path. We would like to point out that Matera and the Sassi are a historic area built on different levels. Visiting them naturally involves walking through the old town, going up and down stairs, and following uneven stone paths. This is part of the authentic experience of discovering the Sassi, and it is not possible to fully explore this area without this type of route. The guide also explained that the historical and cultural explanation of Matera was planned throughout the full itinerary. Since the tour was interrupted after a short time, it was unfortunately not possible to complete the visit or provide the full historical context normally included in the experience. We would also like to mention that another participant from the same group left a very positive review about the same guide and tour, describing the guide as well informed, patient and kind, and stating that they thoroughly enjoyed the tour and all the information provided. We always take customer feedback seriously, but in this case we do not believe it is accurate to say that the guide did not provide value to the tour, as the experience was not completed by the guests. Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards, Martulli Viaggi
Great Experience! It’s such a beautiful place with interesting history that you wouldn’t necessarily know without going on a tour! The tour stops at some great places including a visit to one of the grotto houses. The tour also ran to schedule even with the million questions from the group. Take water and a hat! It is hotttt and there isn’t much shade on the tour. The tour is also maybe not for someone who isn’t too mobile! Matera is quite hilly and you go down some steep and slippery steps! Overall a great tour!
