Good itinerary and local guides
Lorenzo was an excellent guide in Alberobello and Giuseppe in Matera was also very good. The itinerary was about right with plenty of time to hang out in cafes to rest from walking in the heat. There is a public toilet in the main square in Matera.

Matera is worth it!
Great day out and I would highly recommend! The only problem was that it wasn't long enough! I want to go back to Matera to fully visit it. I was interested in a tour of and experiencing Matera so I booked this. Alberobello was just a nice bonus add-on for me but it was still pretty. Alberobello was just some nice houses and very small, once you've seen it, then that's it. I wouldn't recommend purchasing a guided tour for Alberobello. Matera however is huge and totally worth it! I felt like I was stood on sacred ground. It is an ancient and very fascinating town. I recommend the guided tour. Our tour guide, Cosomo, was very knowledgeable and would answer any questions participants had. The coach was also a smooth ride. The air-conditioning functioned but wasn't the best but better than nothing. Enough leg room and comfortable seats.

Lovely experience
The experience was lovely. The bus was clean and comfortable. The drivers and guides were professional. The amount of time at each location was just right for a first time experience. It was a good value for the price.

Avoid
IT was not a tour, IT was only a transport for 55 eur (bus ticket would cost less then 10eur) we had to walk about 10 min just to reach the site.The guide was AI speaking in few languages in the bus. I felt betrayed and despaired. Avoid Smart Tours!

Many nice impressions, very good guidance, good driver
It was a well-organized excursion to very worth seeing goals, of which Matera made the greatest impression.

Unique beautiful area of Italy!
Good day tour of both wonderful towns. I would have loved more time in each town. Maybe spending one day on each place.

A Nice Intro to the Puglia Region
Overall tour was excellent. Driver Nico did an outstanding job, I felt secure and safe as we traveled. First stop in Alberobello was ok. I did the self guided tour and truthfully this is the reason I rated the tour a 4. Because we got there in the morning, I was done walking around before most food places were open. I ended up walking around aimlessly for over an hour. Suggest maybe less time or later departure. Matera was fantastic. Lot to see and the guide Pascal(?) was great. Be prepared to walk a lot, up and down hills.

I highly recommend!
Reception and punctuality at the departure.Bus , clean and quiet. Driver with "smooth" and safe driving. Beautiful Alberobello and Matera. The guide, Pasquale, engaging and friendly, responds flexibly to needs (eg urgent need for toilets, cafes, restaurants...) and any questions. A really nice organization, from the first contact on social to the final greeting. I highly recommend!
