Description
Enjoy an unforgettable experience between three authentic jewels of southern Italy : Bari, its capital, Matera, the famous "City of Stones," a UNESCO Site, and Altamura, renowned for its DOP bread and Swabian cathedral.
Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll begin your journey in Altamura, a city with medieval roots and the beating heart of the Alta Murgia. You'll visit the magnificent Cathedral of Frederick II, strolling through the narrow streets of the historic center. You'll also stop at a traditional bakery to taste the famous Altamura Bread.
In the afternoon, the tour continues to Matera, where you'll immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Sassi, ancient dwellings carved into the limestone rock. You'll discover how the city, once a symbol of poverty, has been reborn as a film set and the 2019 European Capital of Culture.

Altamura e Matera
I took a tour of Matera and Altamura during the weekend and honestly it was a really nice experience. The organization was pretty clear from the beginning and the guide was friendly and didn’t rush us at all.
Matera really impressed me.. seeing the Sassi in person is so different from the photos!!
The guide showed us both the famous places and some small alleys that I didn’t even know about, telling us curiosities without too much talking.
After the Matera tour we had about one hour of free time to eat in a cave restaurant, it was something really unique.
In Altamura the visit was shorter but still very nice. The cathedral is beautiful and the stop at the bakery was maybe the best part of the day, we tried the famous bread and some local stuff.
The last stop was Bari, where we visited the Basilica of Saint Nicholas. It’s a very old and special place, full of history and kind of spiritual atmosphere.
Overall I would recommend this tour to people who want to see a bit of everything without worrying about transports. Really a great discovery!
