Fun Experience - A must do in Matera. We were 4 and took the 75 minute tour. From the reservation to the tour, service was the best. Our guide spoke English and answered many questions we had. We saw the areas that have been past movie sets. The sunset from the top of a hill, near the church, was fantastic. Also it is very easy for anyone who has difficulty walking. I loved honking the horn as we zipped by others!

Perfect way to get an... - Perfect way to get an overview of Matera. Our tour guide was very informative regarding the history of the city as well as current facts. Francesco also provided information on local dining within easy walking distance from the tour headquarters but still in the old town. Would recommend the APEPPECAR to start your day in Matera.

Must do tour of the Sassi in Matera - This is a great tour to do. We had an awesome guide. With him we were able to gain such a better understanding of how life was, as recently as the 1960’s. The tuk tuk is able to zip around through the narrow streets. We enjoyed it so much that we booked another one that afternoon to see some of the caves outside the town.

Beautiful experience - Antonio accompanied us with his apecar around the rocks, stopping to show us the most beautiful views and take photos. the tour was phenomenal also because it was done at sunset, so we could see the views with the best light and then at sunset with the lights on. A nativity scene! During the long tour we also visited a beautiful and well-reconstructed cave house and miniature stones - all beautiful. We also visited the church with a beautiful painted wooden ceiling. My 4 year old daughter also had a lot of fun and when she saw Antonio around Matera she ran to say hello. Thanks Antonio. We recommend it.

Rushed tour - Driver met us at the train station which was greatly appreciated. The driver was very knowledgeable about Matera and we enjoyed the tour. My one criticism is that the driver was continually watching his watch to see how long we took which made you feel pressured and not relaxed to enjoy the old city. I am sure it’s not the tour guides fault but the pressure put in them from the company. It would be better to allow more time so the tour can be appreciated.
