Linda was an amazing tour guide. Not only she’s a lovely lady but also she’s very knowledgeable about the entire history of Matera and made our very long tour very pleasant.

Barbara was extremely knowledgeable about the Sassi. Well done. She took her time and answered all of the group’s questions.

We are lucky to visit on the way to Alberobello from Amalfi coast and we have excellent guide Silvio Scocuzza and amazing historical city from Neolithic caves to modern city in one place city. Also James Bond movie - No time to Die shot here and highly recommend if you can visit this city and also try to visit Gravina town near by

Stopping in Matera was a last minute add to our travels in this area of Italy. it. We were so glad we did. We took a private walking tour which really was worth the money. We learn a lot about the history of this place. At night its beautiful with the soft lighting that has been placed on all these centuries old dwellings. (20,000 people lived here) Make sure you go inside the rock church and the museum that lets you see what life was like living in these hillside dwellings. The amazing part to me as people lived in these primitive dwelling until 1951.

I was charged 60 dollars per person for a tour for my son and I. The company added two more person to the tour that was dishonest. The lady guide broken and slurry english with Italian accent that I could not understand. In the first five minutes, I decided that three hours of broken english was going yo be a torture. This a recurring issue, in one review here, Francesco is mentioned as the tour guide and the reviewer that there are times that the reviewer cannot understand his english.

Francesco was our tour guide and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about Matera and Sassi. Francesco has a strong Italian accent so at times it was difficult to understand him.

We did an evening walking tour in September with our tour guide, Barbara. There were 9 of us in total and the tour lasted approx 2 and a half hours, ending with some samples of local fare and wine at the tourist office. Items were for sale, but no pressure. As for the tour itself, Barbara was very knowledgeable and took us to such locations as The Cattedrale di Matera, a cave museum, Church of Santa Maria De Idris, and many lookouts as well. It was a great introduction to our stay in Matera.

This was a great introduction to the history of Matera and life in the Sassi. Antonio was a very friendly, knowledgeable and fun guide. I did the tour in Italian but I’m sure the English version is just as good.

SUPERB SERVICE!!! Very Well Explanation of Everything. Patient and Knowledgeable Professional Tour Guides. 10 STARS Agency!!

Our tour was due to start at 5pm and there were only the two of us in the party. However, our guide was 17 minutes late arriving and was accompanied by her 10-yr old nephew who was not at all interested in the tour. Her English was difficult to follow so much so that much detail was lost in translation and we were unable to fully understand her answers to our questions. The tasting at the end of the tour had to be negotiated with the gentleman running the premises as the staff had finished for the day. In comparison with other guided walks taking place in Matera that we passed we thought ours was very poor and relatively expensive. For all the reasons above we could not recommend it to other travellers.

This tour was very disappointing. We could have learnt and seen more in the 2 hours with this guide who gave an incoherent and at times irrelevant commentary. It was made worse and even comical as she had a truculent teenager who proceeded to stamp and kick rocks in protest as she was talking.

Barbara was well educated and helped us understand the history of Matera really well. She was very friendly and took the time to get to know us so that we felt comfortable. She personalized the tour with some of our own interests with music. I would recommend Barbara to others.

We were told that our guide Barbara spoke English. Her English was very poor and we had great difficulty understanding her. Others felt the same way too.

If you visit Matera, don't miss this tour. The guides are kind and experienced; without them, understanding the city would be hard.
