We had a lovely day. Our guide was very funny and friendly and very informative - we learned a lot about the area and about the history of Matera. Well worth it.

The local Matera tour guide was great and we learnt a lot about the town's history. The guide at Matera was separate to the guide that took us from Bari, so it was a bit confusing how we had to separate from the rest of the group who were going to Alberobello (as we weren't) and meet the Matera guide separately. Other than that, great experience and would recommend!

We were a small group of four people. Our driver Giovanni was friendly and polite. Our guide Luigi was excellent. He knew a lot and answered all our questions. The tour was very interesting. The only thing that I didn't like was that we had too little time in Matera. We definitely needed two or three hours more there.
