The Sassi of Matera

The visit begins in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, a beautiful nineteenth-century square from where you will enjoy a panoramic view of the Civita and the Sasso Barisano. We will move through the narrow streets of the center admiring works of artistic and architectural importance up to the imposing belvedere of Piazza Duomo overlooking the Sasso Barisano. We will continue among the steps of the Sassi until we reach some cave churches, a typically furnished cave house and a historic cellar.

We did the walking tour through the Sassi of Matera with the guide Giuseppe and it was very interesting. Details and stories were told to us that we would never have known if we had done the tour on our own. The visit to the rock churches was very interesting.
we participated with interest in the stories of the guide Giuseppe..over 2 hours spent among the Sassi admiring stories and curiosities..I recommend it.
A complete visit that allowed us to authentically immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the Sassi of Matera. Giuseppe was truly great, helpful, with a personal touch of life lived right among the Sassi since he was a child.
We went on 2 excursions with them, both in the Sassi and in the Murgia; the 2 guides Bruna and Raffaele were very knowledgeable about life in the Sassi, and explained the daily life of the Sassi very well; a special mention for Michele the scout, an exquisite and very easygoing person.
grazie mille per averci scelto.
The tour was guided with attention, engagement, never boring, consideration for the needs and characteristics of all participants, accurate explanations, excellent communication, interesting content, and the right pacing of breaks. Recommended for optimizing your time in the city and discovering its history and curiosities.
grazie per il feedback. siamo lieti di avere soddisfatto le vs aspettative
Beautiful and very interesting tour. Clear and detailed explanations from a historical, social, and artistic point of view by our guide Giuseppe. A shout-out also to the promoter Umberto for his friendliness, kindness, and professionalism.
Giuseppe is truly a prepared and passionate guide, who immersed us in the Sassi with competence, kindness, and the grace of someone who has known these corners since he was a child.

Professional visit, very appreciated
Grazie mille per averci scelto. Vi aspettiamo alla prossima occasione
Matera, what a spectacle!!! If Giuseppe is the guide, the spectacle also becomes history and culture. Well done.
grazie mille per averci scelto. Alla prossima occasione
The guide VITO was excellent, and despite the difficulties of climbing up and down the streets of Matera and the heat... he was also able to lighten the mood with small jokes and anecdotes. Very straightforward in his explanation but very thorough. Very willing to provide any information... Highly recommended
Grazie mille a voi per averci scelto. Vi aspettiamo alla prossima occasione
