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.

The day was wonderful... Matera is a unique postcard beauty... The escorts are very nice and very helpful follow you in every way... With wine tasting I learned techniques about wines that I did not know... To repeat and do other locations
