      Thrilled we found Matera!
      Beautiful varied enchanted city of white caves built into the hillside with delicious food, wonderful artisanal work, friendly locals and an interesting history.

      Sassi - grottoes carved out of limestone
      Having a guided tour of the Sassi dwellings is helpful to learn more about these grottoes, and to find your way through the neighborhoods. It also included going inside one.

      James Bond and Matera History
      We had a wonder experience with Martilli on the James Bond tour. We saw all of the filming sites and also more importantly we got a great understanding of the history of Matera. So fascinating, we really enjoyed it.

      Solo travellers beware
      Very disappointed with Martulli Viaggi. I booked a Matera: Sassi di Matera Tour with Entry to Cave Houses on November 19, 2024 using Get Your Guide and paid upfront as a solo traveller. With only one day in Matera, I arrived at the meeting point at 3pm to be met with the receptionist stating that there was noone to take me on the tour. I couldn't understand why and no reason was given. She called her supervisor who stated I had to pay a further £30 for someone to take me. I refused. It felt like it was solely because there was only one person on the tour. They could have cancelled a few weeks before to allow me the chance to rebook with another company. They proceeded to issue a refund stating the reason was due to inclement weather. It was a beautiful day. I will never recommend this company who effectively ruined my one day in Matera with no thought or consideration.

      Walking tour of Matera
      The guide was friendly and welcoming. However, we didn't feel that we were given much history about the place and its people.

      Disappointing
      Honestly £50 for two, started late, over 30 people. Guide was hard to understand, couldn’t hear, no passion at all in such a historic area. Found out more from Google - so very disappointing. We left the tour 15 minutes from the end, so disappointed after paying so much money! Recommend discovering this magical and historic area by walking and googling! Have always found Free walking tours to be so much more informative

      Guide was knowledgeable, responded to all questions and didn't rush us. It would be difficult to gather this information without a guide.

      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!

      Not pleased
      Our guide was very broad strokes. No major details. Left not knowing how caves got there. Felt like I wanted a historian or architect to explain things but instead got a sweet older woman who didn’t provide insight.

      Worst Guide. Awful Experience
      We would like to place a formal complaint with regard to our Alberobello tour (booking # GYGG46YHXB24) which took place September 16 at 10:30am. As we discussed with you on that day, we are very angry at the tour guide who left us stranded early on the tour during a moment of photo opportunity. When we were finally able to reach our guide, INGO, by phone, he was very arrogant and condescending. He went as far as saying it wasn't his fault that we didn't catch up to him. His impoliteness was most unacceptable. In total dismay, we had no choice but find our way around and likely missed important information and many photo opportunities in this once in a lifetime trip. We have taken many tours through get you Guide and others and have found that the guides were always friendly, looked out for us, and confirmed the group was together. So this was a very frustratingly unique situation we found ourselves in. We finally walked around ourselves and eventually were able to get to our start point where our car was parked. Needless to say that we expect a full reimbursement of the tour

    I would recommend using this service, especially if you have difficulty walking. Made my life so much easier and our guide, Andrea, was kind, informative and made sure we saw all the key sights. Matera involves quite a bit of walking and on a hot day, it can become arduous. Tuk Tuks are a great solution...and fun!

    It sounds like Andrea provided a fantastic experience for you! Using a tuk-tuk is indeed a great way to explore Matera, especially if walking is challenging. It's wonderful that Andrea was not only kind and informative but also made sure you saw all the key sights comfortably. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the ride and found it a fun and practical solution for exploring the city.

    There is not enough between satisfactory and poor. -
    The driver was funny, but gave little information. Didn't stop for photos, even though we asked. The tour of the Sassi is definitely not enough. Murgia offers a very interesting perspective, but you are there for too short a time. - Overall: too much driving, too little worth seeing.
