Our GPS failed us and we got lost in Matera. I texted our guide Gaetano and despite being very late, he went out of his way to meet where we ended up. His thoughtful, knowledgeable explication of the sights and history gave us insight into the town we could not have otherwise obtained. A very positive experience.
Exceptional tour experience.

Our guide was exceptional. He met us on time and was so full of energy and enthusiasm. Very knowledgeable and kind. Answered all of our questions and provided so much information. His presentation was non stop and kept our interest throughout the tour. He was kind enough to even walk us to our car after. Very much enjoyed our experience and felt that it was a great value. Our tour was on November 19, 2021 and we unfortunately did not note our tour guides name.

The tour operator Renato was very nice and let us reschedule the tour to a later time when we were late in the morning. Our tour was with Gaetano who made the experience really special. He was by far the best tour guide we have ever had. He was very knowledgeable, passionate about the history of Matera and very entertaining. The whole experience was a pleasure. Would highly recommend this, 10/10!!
The Wonder of Italy ….

This was a great learning experience. A once in a life time opportunity to understand culture and life when time stood still. Unbelievable that a city of people lived in caves like in biblical times and as recent as 70 years ago. Tour guide was amazing and parted detailed knowledge that was informative and educational. Matera is not the ‘Shame of Italy’ but a truly amazing cultural experience.
Great tour!
