What you can expect

Discover Matera on a guided walking tour led by a licensed local guide, who will take you to the heart of the Sassi di Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the symbol of a millenary city.

The tour begins in Piazza Pascoli, which overlooks the Belvedere Guerricchio, one of the city's most distinctive and popular viewpoints.
During the tour, you will visit a Rupestrian church with restricted access, which is normally closed to the public and can only be entered with licensed guides, allowing you to immerse yourself in the city's most authentic spirituality and history.

You will continue your journey through time with a visit to the Barbarian Cemetery, a picturesque site overlooking the Matera canyon, where you can enjoy unique views and discover stories of battles, faith, and ancient civilisations.

You will stroll through the ancient Sassi areas and enter an authentic cave dwelling to gain insight into what life was like in Matera up until the 1950s. During a visit to an artistic craftsmanship atelier, local traditions will come to life through the stories told by a master craftsman, a guardian of Lucanian culture and knowledge.
You will learn about the tradition of the Carro della Bruna from someone who has been handcrafting it for many years!

You will round off the experience with a convivial tasting of typical Lucanian products, bidding farewell to Matera with its most authentic flavours.
