This tour was incredibly convenient; our guide picked us up directly from our hotel. He spoke excellent English and addressed all our questions. Even though it was raining, he kindly offered his umbrella so we could take photos. He also showed us an example of a house as it was when people lived in the caves. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we're very pleased we chose this tour.

Vito greeted us at our hotel in his striking bright red Ape and immediately started sharing fascinating insights about Matera's extensive history and its evolution post-WWII. We also discovered an interesting tidbit about Coca Cola and its effect on street surfaces, perfect for film scenes. Thanks to his suggestion, we sampled peperone crusco at lunch and enjoyed it immensely. Overall, we had an excellent experience.
