Itinerary
- 1The tour includes a panoramic tour followed by a visit to the historic part of the city, among its winding alleys and steep stairways, poor people's cave-houses and majestic baroque palaces of the nobility, vegetable gardens and wide terraces, among which suddenly miserable chimneys and strange bells appear underground churches. The tour lasts 2-3 hours and includes a visit to the rock house-museum of Matera's traditional peasant culture and life (the cost of the group entrance fee is 2€ ). During the tour it will be possible to stop at one of the characteristic locations, inside the caves, to taste typical products of Lucanian cuisine. Free time after the tour (tour duration and free time as agreed).
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Lori P0 contributionsShe’s more than just a guideI first met Natalia in June 2024. She introduced me to Matera. She had a wealth of knowledge about the history of the sassi and the attractions in Matera. We shared a wonderful meal and shared in the excitement of the locals over a futbol victory. As we drove, I shared my hopes for my vacation with Natalia and she arranged some private trips to help me accomplish my goals. Sounds like a good business person, right? Yes but it so much more. She researched the towns, the attractions, the stores where I might purchase the items I was looking for. She knew the hours of the stores and made plans to fill in any gaps. I find this to be over and above customer service. Natalia is also well networked and was able to connect me with guides throughout Italy. It was a no brainer to request her services for my return to Puglia in December 2024. She created a tour of the Christmas markets in Puglia and I was beyond grateful. It was a great experience and I enjoyed spending time with Natalia again. Again I experienced her wealth of knowledge as I learned so much from her in towns I previously visited with other guides. It’s evident she takes pride in her work. I would like to say I am special and that’s why she was so good to me but I can attest she offers this professionalism to all her clients. You will not be disappointed!!!Written 3 January 2025
- sea19690 contributionsExcellent GuideItanata is an excellent tour guide. We only spent one day with her, going to Matera and Bari, but I would have liked more time with her in Puglia. She is fluent in different languages, knowledgeable about food and wine (she made reservations for us at a great restaurant in Matera) and is thoroughly professional. She gave us an excellent history of Matera and it was one of our favorite places in Puglia. Can’t go wrong with her!Written 23 September 2024
- Pioneer361610021430 contributionsBari Old TownGreat tour, a mixture of the Bari lifestyle,history and some lovely street food, coffee & ice cream. And which bakery not to g to ! Very knowledgeable tour guide.Written 12 August 2024
- emmadQ3118WS0 contributionsWill be booking again!We had an amazing experience with Itanata and can’t recommend her highly enough - we had a wonderful day! Our original tour guide was busy so she stepped in and helped her colleague - we went to Matera and Alberobello. She was very knowledgeable about all things Puglia and Basilicata and will be booking again!Written 29 July 2024
- 152antoninai0 contributionsBari and MateraWe visited the south of Italy in two days. Of course, we weren't able to see everything in such a short period of time, so we decided to dedicate our time to see Bari and Matera. With Itanata we didn't go by the ordinary tourist route, but followed narrow and a bit larger streets of both towns. It permitted us to feel the genuine atmosphere of the place and to see lots of different places that are usually unnoticed to the tourist's eye. Itanata told us plenty of information about the places and answered all our question. But the thing I want to thank her for is definitely that she gave us the true impression of the city and showed us the life of the rich and the poor. It was definitely that unique feature of those cities that we would not have understood without a guide.Written 21 May 2024
- 742mayai0 contributionsGreat country, beautiful people!Finally our dream came true! We are in Puglia. But without Natalia it would not be the same. She walked us through Bari, Matera, Alberobello and Locorodonto. She is very knowledgeable, educated, smart and caring. We found out a lot of interesting facts from the history, culinary, culture and customs of Italy and its people. Thank you Natalia for the lovely time we spent together!Written 23 April 2024
- 371genes0 contributionsBrava, Natalia!Natalia is tour guide extraordinaire! She is a wealth of historical background and local lore that enriched our exploring Alberobello, Locorotondo, Ostuni, and Lecce. In addition to her tour guide expertise, Natalia's driving skills made us always feel safe as we traveled highways and side roads over the two days of our tour. Brava, Natalia!Written 9 October 2023
- gloraway0 contributionsPuglia at It’s Best!Our day with Natalia was wonderful. She met us with her private car and took us from Bari to Alberobello, Locorotondo and Martina Franca. We especially enjoyed the trulli homes and our time spent with Maria in her little shop. Natalie knew many of the inhabitants of the town who were very welcoming. Natalie is very personable and a knowledgeable tour guide. We recommend her highly.Written 8 October 2023

She went above and beyond to make our tour of Alberobello, Martina Franca and Locorotondo a highlight of our trip to Puglia. Not only did she personalize our tour she helped us with our plans for the next day even though she wasn’t our tour guide. She also took photos and sent them to us after our trip.

- toota1010 contributionsPerfect dayNatalia was a fantastic guide. Natalia privately drove us from Polignano a Mare to Lecce for the day. We walked around and Natalia explained all that’s special about Lecce. She then drove us for lunch at Al Bano’s restaurant. It was an absolute beautiful day and I would highly recommend.Written 6 July 2023

Natalia was super! He explained everything with professionalism and language suitable for children. He made the visit to the cities of Lecce and Matera interesting and captivating, often interspersing the explanations with anecdotes and stories that attracted the attention of all the participants.
