Amazing hike, beautiful views - Claudio is an amazing guide, so friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. The hike is amazing and there are so many cool things to see along the way - the Tibetan bridge, cave churches, local plants, the river, beautiful views os the Sassi, and more. Make sure to bring hiking shoes and water, this trip is a bit strenuous!

Tour to Matera with Guide - Thanks to the professionalism of Imma our Guide, and 'was a 'beautiful experience, we relived the history of Matera, its traditions, and the places where the farmers of the time lived. We did everything in a minibus and got off at the most important stages. Highly recommended

Tough, but worth the view - Claudio was a very experienced hiker and engaging tour guide. His grandparents lived in Matera and so he had some personal connection to the area. He took us down the gorge and across the bridge, up into the cave dwellings. We continued on into the stone churches and were able to see some original frescoes. At the very top, we had an amazing view of the city of Matera. This is an arduous climb and highly recommended to have proper footwear (I noticed some people in flip-flops! Sturdy shoes are best). Some scrambling involved. If you fear heights, I would not recommend. There are no guard rails, with the exception of the swinging bridge. Once at the top, you had the option of requesting a transport back to town, but we chose to go back the way we came. Bring water! You won’t get a view of Matera like this any other way.

Recommended tour - Interesting and essential tour. We touch the main points of this beautiful city. The musical performance in the church of Sant'Antonio is very beautiful, where a man from Matera tells his story and performs the begging song. The guide Giuseppe is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The afternoon tour is especially recommended to also enjoy the view of the illuminated city
