Everything was perfect. The trip was well organized. All you need to know is that you planned everything, but we also saw Matera. Thanks again for a perfect day and thanks for the bread. It was delicious. Hope to see you again soon. Great service. Thank you Giuliana & Rino

Perfetto

Very nice time with a friendly guide and driver. Matera is an absolute must see and it's not easily accessible by train or bus from Tarento, so this tour was perfect. They even got me pane di Matera and went the extra mile to make sure I had a good time.

Operator response

We really thank you for leaving your feedback concerning the Matera Tour you joined. Thanks for spending your precious time for us! We hope to welcome you again as soon as possible!
