Fue una visita magnífica con Francesco, nuestro guía. Matera es una visita imprescindible y sobre todo si lo cuentq una persona tan bien informada de la historia y de la actualidad de esta zona. Amabilidad y dominio del temq.

There were good and not so good elements for this tour. Good: pleasant staff, good communication for booking, van was very comfortable and the other 2 participants were lovely. Not so good: I was expecting a guided tour which was not delivered. The guide seem to have very little knowledge of Altamura or Matera. Seemed to spend alot of the time on the phone. Had to consult Google maps to navigate around Matera and this portion of the trip was disappointingly brief. No real explanation of the history of Matera and to be honest we seemed to know more about it than she did. It was a similiar experience in Altamura. A lovely resident escorted us to a couple of points of interest and the local bakery. The bakery in Altamura was to die for. Anticuus Fornus Sancta Clara di Vito Macella. Foccacia was amazing and the local bread which looked like it was burnt was sensational. Felt sorry for the other 2 participants as they had booked a private tour and were lumped with us. Overall disappointing as we could have used public transport and booked a guided tour in Matera.This was an amazing day trip with breathtaking views. Nothing was too difficult for Francesco who was a prefect host getting to know each of our names. His knowledge of the area was exceptional!

Un tour muy bueno y entretenido. Grazia, nuestra guía, nos pasó a recoger a nuestro alojamiento. La excursión a Matera incluye una parada corta en Altamura para visitar su catedral y los "panificio" y bares que hay a su alrededor, con una degustación de panes en el Panificio del Duomo por cuenta del touroperador. La excursión por Matera duró alrededor de 2 horas, justo hasta la hora de comer. Nuestra guía nos llevó por los principales puntos turísticos de la ciudad vieja, los dos "sassi", recomendando las mejores vistas y reservó tiempo para visitar el interior de una Casa Grotta con su cripta. Acabada la visita, comimos bruschettas en un bar del barrio nuevo. La excursión duró alrededor de 6 horas, tal como estaba estipulado en la descripción del servicio. Quedamos contentos y disfrutamos mucho de la compañía de Grazia, la historia del lugar y los consejos sobre cómo continuar las vacaciones.Our guide, Francesco, was so knowledgeable that my husband and I could almost envision what life was like beginning with the Paleolithic inhabitants, the Neolithic way of life, up to present day.

Our guide, Francesco, was so knowledgeable that my husband and I could almost envision what life was like beginning with the Paleolithic inhabitants, the Neolithic way of life, up to present day. To be able to walk where people have been living continuously for 12,000 years is really too magnificent to put into words. The visit to Altamura was also a joy and the focaccia he gave us was like no other. Remarkable!
