Guided tour through the streets of Matera - Alessio Loreti from Latina Very interesting experience. The guide Pasquale Marchetti proved to be a competent person; interesting his historical/political stories that allow you to better understand the evolution of this city full of culture and history. The City Tour was pleasant and the tour guide equally friendly and sociable. Thank you Pasquale
