My family came from Altamura over 100 years ago which is why we needed a guide to visit family members here in Italy. Marzia was the perfect guide. She not only found the family home but consented to remain with us to translate. We had a wonderful visit between several people who had never met and could not communicate. Marzia was absolutely invaluable. We all enjoyed her personality, and she is now an honorary member of our family. I can’t praise her enough!!! Kathleen Bockoski

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!

Francesco was an awesome guide! He is so knowledgeable about the history of the cities, the cultures and the lifestyle of the inhabitants. I would ask for him on future tours.

Our guide Francesco was phenomenal!!! He paced our trip perfectly given our abilities. He was so knowledgeable and provided us with memories to last a lifetime. We would never have experienced Matera and Alta Mura so meaningfully had we not had this excellently guided tour with Francesco! Grazie Mille!

Francesco was a wonderful guide. He knew and loved the area so well he was able to personalize the tour seemlessly. Matera is incredible and should not be missed while in Italy. The brief tour of Bari was also a nice surprise.

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!

Francesco was an excellent guide..... He drove us from Bari. Went to some great local places in Altamura. He was quite knowledgeable on Matera -- and Matera is a MUST see.

Wow what a wonderful tour! Was lucky enough to have Francesco as our guide and he was fantastic and a great storyteller and very passionate about Matera! It was an amazing day and I’m so thankful for this wonderful personal experience. Would absolutely recommend as Matera is stunning!

Excellent tour with the guide Marzia very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I highly recommend this tour. Teresa the company owner always in contact directly with the customer trying to accommodate the itinerary to your convenience. Thank you

È stata,una giornata fantastica. Merito soprattutto di Francesco, super guida. Bravissimo. Sia ad Altamura che a Matera , ci ha dato il meglio

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.

Un tour fantástico sobre todo por Matera, un sitio increible. Acompañados por nuestro guía Francesco, perfecto conocedor de la historia y la actualidad de Bari y Matera. Buen dominio del español y siempre atento con nosotros.

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.
