We found it difficult to match the description to the points that were being described, not always managing to locate what was being indicated.
Purtroppo laudioguida è stata pensata per il racconto della storia. L'ipogeo poi si fa ammirare senza eccessivi dettagli.
Nice. A little difficult to sync the audio guide with the numbers but good that it was so easy to use. Cool in the heat.
grazie per il feed back, l'audioguida non si doveva sincronizzare, bastava entrare nella stanza vedere il numero e cliccare il numero corrispondente sull'audioguida

Grazie mille.
Was a bit overpriced for what it was. Here the QR code to listen to something and go for a walk through 6 rooms
Grazie per il feedback. Non pretendiamo di essere una bellezza assoluta ma spieghiamo l'evoluzione di Matera attraverso l'ascolto di una audioguida
The visit to the Hypogeum Materasum could have been very interesting, because the site is undoubtedly fascinating and full of potential. Unfortunately, our experience was conditioned by several organizational problems. We had booked and paid for the ticket online (8 euros per person) and, once we arrived, the wifi did not work, so it was not possible to use the audio guide. The girl at the reception was however very kind and helpful, offering to find alternative solutions to provide us with audio, which we enjoyed. However, during the visit, the presence of two families with children running and screaming continuously made it virtually impossible to follow the route and listen to the contents. Unfortunately, despite the unsuitable behavior, no intervention was made to restore order, and this significantly compromised the experience. Overall, the site certainly deserves for its beauty, but the organization and management of respect for the spaces could be improved, especially considering the cost of the ticket.
ci dispiace che l'esperienza non sia stata quello che vi aspettavate, purtroppo, noi speriamo sempre nella civiltà di chi visita un luogo storico e non sempre abbiamo riscontro.
Experience not to be done at all. Poorly managed and poorly organized situation. You go down a flight of stairs, the staff is unfriendly and the route despite the audio guide activated at the entrance, is not very clear. In Matera there is much better to do especially during the Christmas holidays.
Ci dispiace per questa recensione. Purtroppo può capitare un momento di stanchezza anche nello staff. Matera è bella a prescindere da noi.
Unlike other tourist attractions in Matera, this "Hypogeum Matera Sum" is not a very visited place and yet it is worth seeing. As you walk through its narrow passageways and wider rooms, you can learn about the old way of life of its inhabitants. The lighting is poor and you have to be careful when going up and down the steps.
Grazie per la recensione. La luce e5bassa per mantenere l'atmosfera
Do not go there. You will be greeted by a girl who will not look at you, who will show you the direction to take and who will blow her eyes up when you come back to tell her that there is no light in the rooms and that the video is not projected. Zero friendliness. Then, for the interest of the place: zero also pointed. An iPhone audio guide with 5 unfortunate explanations and a tour that lasts 20 minutes instead of the promised 1h30. With this money, head out for a spritz on the terrace (and zero pointed also to TripAdvisor/Viator) that didn’t want to hear anything following our complaint about this scam tour.
Ci dispiace leggere questa recensione. Soprattutto perché avete fatto il tour. Se qualcosa non andava bene bisognava farlo presente subito. Invece siete andati via senza dire niente e quando vi è stato negato il rimborso perché non spettava avete pensato bene di vendicarvi. Non c'è scritto da nessuna parte che il Tour dura 1 ora e mezza. Anzi è espressamente indicato che dura da 15 a 30 minuti. Effettiva durata di audioguida e video/documentario.
Beautiful place perfectly preserved and revalued, open to the public with the purchase of an entrance ticket.
Grazie mille per il feedback
My partner and I visited Matera underground with a guide. A really interesting place to discover. We were greeted by Mrs. Antonella, very kind since it took away many curiosities.
E allora potevate mettere 5 stelle X) ahahah Ovviamente vi ringrazio per le belle parole.
