Itinerary

Pass by

Matera is one of the oldest cities in the world whose territory preserves evidence of human settlements from the Palaeolithic and without interruption until today. It represents an extraordinary page written by man through the millennia of this very long history. World Heritage Site since 1993 and European Capital of Culture in 2019. With the classic and typical Ape Calessino ( tuk tuk), an Italian myth, which is very popular with families, especially with children in wheelchairs, we will cross the Old Town and the Sassi, as walking is very tiring, especially in summer, speeding through the narrow streets and alleys, making short stops for photos and videos and to visit churches in the squares and characteristic Case Grotte (House Museums).

Precise and hospitable

Punctuality, courtesy, and knowledge of the locations I recommend it as a first panoramic tour of the city to get oriented with the spaces and areas of greatest interest. You don't visit all the most important areas given the time available and the need to travel by road

Good tour to save your feet!

We got to see the major points of interest without having to walk the city on a very hot day. The tour guide was informative.

Interesting Sassi di Matera Tour

Interesting tour through the Sassi di Matera with a visit to a typical house and stops to photograph the uniqueness of this city. The guide explained the history very well to us. I highly recommend it to those who wish to discover Matera in a short time and comfortably. The Ape calessino is in itself a unique experience.

We chose to do...

We chose to do this experience also because with a 4-year-old girl who gets tired easily, it was a very interesting experience; the tuk-tuk driver was very kind, so I would recommend it.

Hard to figure out where to report.

Better indicate the address and mention where parking can be done. The ad says 1 hour, but the trip took 45 min. Guide was very kind.

A great way to explore the Sassi in a short time!

We had a great time on the Ape Calessino Tour of the Sassi di Matera. It was such a fun and unique experience riding through the narrow streets. The tour is well-paced and covers the main highlights of the Sassi, with interesting information along the way. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience both enjoyable and informative. For all we were in Matera for 3 nights, this tour would be ideal if you’re only there for a short period of time, as it gives you a great overview without feeling rushed. Maybe not the best value for money for a 45 minute experience however, still highly recommended.
