Overview of your Matera tour:

A tasty and cultural tour in Altamura and Gravina: some of the oldest human settlement in the world with evidences of people living in the natural caves starting from the Paleolithic age. I'll be happy to share with you my extensive experience as tour guide, nature guide, wine and olive oil sommelier to discover how a Neanderthal man looks like, the life in the Neolithic age, a unique ecosystem declared Unesco site in 1993 with dwellings carved in the rock and churches painted with stunning frescoes. Let's enjoy breathtaking views of the ravines, walk along magic places used as movie set by national and international productions (Wonder Woman, James Bond 25), taste the traditional focaccia and the DOP bread of Altamura (the same mentioned by the latin poetry Orazio in his Satire on 37 B. C. ) baked in brick wood fired oven, the centuries old recipes of the artisanal pastry workshop of St. Clare's Monastery, the green walnut liqueur Don Peppe, the Primitivo wine at an old underground winery, etc.
