An experience not to be missed

Published on Jun, 2023

After catching the bus from Bari for the day we had a fascinating tour of the ancient city with Angela, from Info Matera. She was brilliant and gave us such an insight of what had happened in Matera. She patiently answered all our questions and showed us where we could eat traditional food at L'Antica Credenza, the end of the tour, which we enjoyed very much. We would have missed so much without a guide and were so glad the tourist office were able to help us.

A great visit to Matera

Published on May, 2023

My friend and I were disappointed when our original tour with another company was cancelled. We arrived at Matera and asked at "info matera" if we could join one of their tours. The guide spent time trying to find an English speaking guide for us. We were very pleased with Angela, who gave us a memorable experience through the Sassi. Her knowledge was excellent and she was able to answer all our questions. I'm pleased we found "info matera " and that they found Angela.

Matera - The most beautiful sunset

Published on Sep, 2022

The most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in southern Italy. In a very subtle way and in a gradient of yellow, orange and red tones, the sun goes down behind the city until the lights of Matera come on. Something dazzling and breathtaking.

A visit to ancient times

Published on Feb, 2022

A must while in Bari! Train took around 1.40h but it is worth spending half a day trip in Matera. The old city is actually ancient, with caverns ans stony pathways. Impresive place that must be visited by those inlove with history and spectacular movies!
