Another “Must Do” tour in Bari

We lucked out again today getting Marco from the Vento Viaggi tour agency in Bari. Highly recommend this tour and suggest adding in a tuk tuk tour when stopping in Matera. It’s hilly there and you MUST see all the amazing stops. Gracie Marco!

Matera/Altamura

Interesting excursion Matera and Altamura are two great cities to visit but the wording of the tour specified a day or we left at 9am and returned at 3pm for me it's not been a day but half a day knowing that there's a little more than an hour by car and an hour back and at the price of 198 euros it's expensive an hour fortunately our guide was exceptional, she has a lot of culture, she spoke in two languages at the same time which is not easy and she is very smiling and very caring I think we should add a visit to a beautiful rock church in the other sassi or at least leave a long free time so that we can visit alone and also do a little shopping or eat a little something that couldn't be done

Operator response

Gentile cliente, La ringraziamo per aver condiviso la sua esperienza e, in particolare, per le belle parole rivolte alla nostra guida. Siamo davvero felici che abbia apprezzato la sua cultura, l’energia e l’attenzione verso ogni partecipante: feedback come il suo ci riempiono d’orgoglio e ci spronano a continuare con impegno e passione. Vorremmo tuttavia cogliere l’occasione per chiarire alcuni aspetti organizzativi. Il tour da lei effettuato è iniziato alle ore 08:45 e si è concluso alle 15:25, per una durata complessiva di circa 6 ore e 40 minuti, in linea con quanto indicato sulla piattaforma Viator, dove è chiaramente specificato che l’escursione ha una durata approssimativa di 7 ore. Inoltre, segnaliamo che in quella specifica giornata, grazie alle ottime condizioni di viabilità tra Matera e Bari, il rientro è stato leggermente anticipato rispetto al previsto – circa 20 minuti in meno – senza alcuna riduzione dei contenuti del tour. È importante sottolineare che i tempi di percorrenza in auto fanno parte integrante della durata complessiva dell’esperienza, come indicato nella descrizione del tour. Il tempo impiegato negli spostamenti è infatti parte dell’organizzazione logistica necessaria per garantire la visita a più destinazioni in un solo giorno. Inoltre, desideriamo ricordarle che ha ricevuto un upgrade gratuito nella sua lingua madre, il francese, un servizio dal costo normalmente più elevato rispetto alle lingue standard (inglese e spagnolo). È stato un piacere offrirle questo valore aggiunto senza costi supplementari. Infine, capiamo il desiderio di visitare luoghi meno turistici come alcune chiese rupestri e, allo stesso tempo, avere più tempo per il pranzo o lo shopping. Tuttavia, queste due esigenze sono difficili da conciliare all’interno dei tempi contenuti di un tour giornaliero, ed è sempre nostro impegno trovare un giusto equilibrio tra approfondimento culturale e tempo libero. La ringraziamo ancora per il suo feedback e ci auguriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente per una futura esperienza con noi. Cordiali saluti,

K

Don't Miss Altamura and Matera

We had a delightful day in Matera and Altamura on what turned out to be a private tour. Altamura was a surprise for us, not a town we knew anything about. The church was beautiful and the bakery was very interesting. We were also able to see pasta being made on the street. The guided tour of Matera was something we were looking forward to and we were not disappointed.

Operator response

Dear Karen, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy to hear that you had a delightful day exploring Matera and Altamura with us. Altamura is indeed a hidden gem, and it’s wonderful that you enjoyed discovering its charm — from the stunning cathedral to the fascinating bakery and even witnessing traditional pasta-making in the streets. Those little surprises often become the most memorable moments! We’re also glad that Matera met your expectations. It’s a truly unique and special place, and it means a lot to know that the guided tour lived up to what you were looking forward to. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for more unforgettable experiences in our region. Warm regards,

Don’t miss out on this trip!

My husband, adult daughter and I had a wonderful day touring Altamura and Matera. It turned out to be a private tour for the three of us. We had delicious focaccia in Altamura at one of the bakeries in old town. The cathedral is beautiful, especially the front entrance and all the stories it tells. Matera was as beautiful as all the pictures I’ve seen. Our tour guide, (her first name escapes me - last name Pavia) was so informative. Her knowledge of the history of these two beautiful towns was so interesting. We had a great day!

And we’re so glad that Matera lived up to the beauty you've seen in pictures — it's a place that never fails to impress. We will certainly pass along your kind words to our guide Ms. Pavia.

We booked both the excursion to Polignano and Matera. A real lucky thing to have found these organizers. Everything was perfect on both days. Our companion Fabio was a real revelation. Highly recommended
