Walking tour of the Sassi of Matera with Casa Grotta/Church

Matera Walking Tour

Walking tour was great, tour guide passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, engaging and a great communicator. Tour was good length and not overly strenuous but the clue is in the name! You need to be able to walk including steps! Couldn’t fault it and really value for money. Would recommend to anyone.

The Best Way to Discover Matera with family

We absolutely loved this tour! It was such a wonderful experience for our family. Federico was fantastic — very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole tour really enjoyable. We traveled with our 8-year-old daughter, and she enjoyed it just as much as we did, which made the experience even more special for us. We learned so much about Matera while also having a great time discovering the city. It was truly an exceptional tour, and we are very grateful for the beautiful memories we’re taking home with us. We would definitely recommend Matera City Tour to anyone visiting Matera. Thank you so much to Alessia, Federico, and the whole team for such a lovely experience! ❤️

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
