Destaques
Discovering Matera, the city of the Sassi which has the title of European Capital of Culture for 2019 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient stony districts are characterized by houses carved into the limestone rock and rock churches that make it unique in the world. This natural conformation, which evokes biblical scenarios, has always made them ideal sets for important films, most recently the film by Ben Hur.

5Good value with a very clear and well informed guide
Great way to see matera and to learn about its history. Our guide Davida was excellent
5Terrific tour of fascinating Matera
We had a wonderful tour led by the energetic Angela, who led us up down and across a wide swath of the Sassi and a snippet of the upper (new) town. Angela’s English as well as her command of the history of Matera was outstanding. I highly recommend this experience.

Maria Teresa was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, excellent English, passionate, with great pace and enunciation. We learned a lot on this tour.
1Worst guided tour of the last decade
Guide was disinterested in her own tour, reacted badly to questions, ridiculed clients for their English level and made fun of specific nations. As her English was bad and she didn't finish most sentences, it was almost impossible to follow. Context or historical content was minimal, I didn't learn much about Matera and feel that I have wasted my money.

About Matera
Matera is a southern Italian city of ancient cave dwellings carved into a ravine, a UNESCO-listed maze of stone houses, rock churches and stepped lanes.
Matera, in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, is built above a deep ravine, and its old districts, the Sassi, are cave houses and stone buildings stacked down the cliff. People have lived here since prehistory, and until the 1950s many families still occupied the caves, before they were moved to new housing. The Sassi were listed by UNESCO in 1993, and the cathedral crowns the rock between the two districts, Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso.
Top-ranked sights in Matera: Sassi di Matera, Murgia National Park (Parco della Murgia Materana), Madonna delle Virtù Church (Chiesa di Madonna delle Virtù).
