Excursão ao parque Murgia Materana

My wife and I travel full-time around the world and have fallen in love with Matera. We wanted to visit the Murgia park to view Materia across the ravine at sunset. We paid extra for an English speaking guide. However our guide came with an interpreter who offered up very little of what the guide was saying. Spent most of the time talking about plants instead of the history of the area and then piddles around and missed the sunset. Waited 20 minutes in the dark and cold for the van to return for pick up. Worst ever.

Our afternoon was very enjoyable. We saw several rock churches and were given lots of information. Oue guides gave an excellent recommendation for a restaurant for dinner.

Federico accompanied us with passion and momentum from the beginning to the end of the about 2 hours tour. Everything beautiful! 🤗

Very interesting and exciting landscape, made even more special for the expertise and courtesy of Federico!!!! Very very good!!!

We had a great tour of Murgia Materana for 2 hours with Frederico, our English speaking guide. The English language tours are more expensive because there are fewer guides who tour in English plus we had a private tour for 2 people. It was well worth it. He drove us to the park from the tour agency and then we walked for the next 2 hours. It is not easy walking but not too hard either. We heard stories on the history of the Murgia, Matera, plants, archeology, culture. It was lovely being in the park and facing Matera when the lights start flickering on as night fell. You can drive yourself to the park and walk but you’ll miss so much information without a guide. I would recommend.

Well organized tour, our Guide Anita excellent , very good at explanations. Recommendation is to try the tour as you can admire the neighborhoods of the stones

The whole evening was wonderful! I got this a gift for my girlfriend. The walk to the cliff side was lovely. Filled with wonderful views and the information that Antonello and Mikeala gave us really helped us appreciate the area even more. The caves and views were exceptional, it truly is an amazing way to see the town of Sasso, Antonello and Mikeala were so helpful and insightful. We could ask any question about the area and region. They would even take photos of us at certain points of the walk. After the trip, Antonello and Mikeala would answer any questions we had about Matera and Italy in general. I would highly recommend this tour. It truly is one of a kind!

There were good things about this tour. The sunset was beautiful and the walk fun. But it was a real disappointment for our group. There was an English speaking guide, as promised, but the expert in the area spoke only Italian. He spoke extensively to the English guide but the English speaking guide did not translate. In the end, they were only speaking to each other. We did not go into any caves. The guide said he needed 24 hour advanced notice to enter the caves but we made our reservation weeks ahead of time. The driver who took up to the park texted while he was driving us. I could not believe it. The trip was not at all what was promised. I do not recommend it.

We had the most amazing experience. Ur guide had lots of great information. Watching the sun set on the Stassi of Matera was breathtaking. As was seeing the city light up and darkness came.

A nice country tour to do at the end of the afternoon because it ends with the spectacle of Matera at sunset. Well organized agency. Francesco is a very helpful and competent guide.
