Great tour
We booked this tour for our first day so that we could see the best areas quickly. We were then able to revisit where we wished, the guide was excellent with good knowledge and English. We were collected at our hotel and the correspondence between ourselves prior to our visit to Matera was excellent. Highly recommend.

Go where the Quad takes you

Breathtaking views and impeccable guides with Dolomiti Discovery
A fun, dynamic, and perfectly organized experience. During the quad bike excursion with Dolomiti Discovery, there is no shortage of adrenaline, but it goes hand in hand with great attention to safety: when Vincenzo explains the rules, there is absolute silence and maximum attention!We did the route guided by Riccardo, who was always vigilant about everyone's safety and very good at taking us to discover the most spectacular panoramic points in the area. Highly recommended for those looking for adventure in nature without ever giving up peace of mind!

Hello to the whole staff! We really wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the fantastic experience you let us have. ​We were looking for a family adventure and with you we found perfection: from the welcome over the phone (thanks, dear, for your patience with our thousand logistical questions!) to the enormous willingness to host our little dog during the tour. ​Impeccable organization, professionalism to spare, and maximum attention to safety. A special thanks to Vincenzo for the scrupulous briefing, the care for every detail, and the friendliness, and to our guide who accompanied us with a smile through the breathtaking landscapes of the Lucanian Dolomites. A wild, exciting route, taken care of down to the smallest detail. ​You made a splendid land even more magical. Thank you for your kind availability, see you soon! Highly recommended.

Matera balloon flight for small groups
T8187KMlorenzop, Aug 2026
A dream come true
A dream come true. Certainly sacrifices were made to arrive so early for the flight, but it was truly worth it. Staff available, friendly and kind, even and especially before the event, during the organizational phase. Unique and unrepeatable occasion, evocative atmosphere at dawn, definitely breathtaking, which feels like a dream coming back to life when looking at the photos and thinking back to those unique moments.
