Overview of your Matera tour:

"We had no idea that any of this could exist". This is what my guests usually say at the end of the tour of Matera Sassi. In recent years, Matera has become quite touristy. However, not many travelers get to know the most authentic and true part of this wonderful site protected by Unesco. My tour is an experience that combines history, culture, politics and amusing anecdotes. Between not beaten paths and unforgettable photographic glimpses, I will tell you what made this place the "European capital of culture 2019", despite being declared "national shame" in 1952 by the Prime Minister and why you will return home keeping a wonderful memory in your heart!

Your Matera tour itinerary

During this walking tour we will visit the three areas of the old city of Matera, called Sassi: - The Sasso Barisano, where we will have the opportunity to visit a furnished cave house and enjoy suggestive views, among ancient stairways carved into the stone and fantastic views of the ravine. - The Sasso Caveoso and its millenary rock churches, from which we will have the opportunity to admire and, when possible, visit the Casalnuovo area, completely abandoned and devoid of any modern comfort or technology. - The Civita, on the top of which stands the beautiful Romanesque Cathedral whose interiors are finely decorated in Baroque style. I can create a customized tour for you in case you have special requests.
