I love Matera, I love Giulio.
Wonderful experience with Giulio, an exceptional guide. The 3 hours flew by, I learned so many things about Matera, truly unique and beautiful, and I had so much fun. Giulio is so nice. He is very talented and professional, but at the same time, he makes you laugh a lot.
Very nice group, truly a beautiful experience.

Simply unique!
Giulio is a wonderful, knowledgeable, ironic, and captivating person; he captures the attention of both adults and children (if I had to go back to school, I would want a teacher like him).
The tour with Giulio is an experience to be lived, absolutely recommended!

THE BEST!
Giulio is very good, very friendly, and immerses you in the history in a simple yet detailed way. He knows how to engage everyone, both adults and children. Time flies even under the scorching heat of August. Don't make the mistake of walking around the Sassi without Giulio! Highly recommended

Super guide.
Excellent Giulio, a blend of friendliness, irony, availability, and expertise. In addition to being able to answer any question comprehensively, he managed to keep the attention of a sixteen-year-old for more than two and a half hours! Thank you and see you next time!!!
