Not to miss this tour!
This was a phenomenal tour. Sara was so informative and knowledgeable about the history. She is a local and 3rd generation living in Matera so it was obvious how much she loved it here. We stopped at the Porta Pistola and was able to go on a 1hr hike in the valley, which was also fantastic
