Step into the authentic life of Matera on this private tour of a real Sassi cave house, where history, culture, and traditional food come together for a truly immersive experience.

Start your tour in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, where stunning panoramic views stretch across Matera’s historic districts and the Gravina canyon. Visit the striking Church of San Pietro Caveoso, perched dramatically along the ravine and surrounded by a landscape that highlights the city’s remarkable connection with nature.

Wander through the Sassi’s narrow lanes, scenic terraces, and ancient cave dwellings. Learn how local families once lived in homes carved into the rock, while admiring the harmonious mix of historic stone houses, elegant palaces, and centuries-old churches.

Along the way, savour a traditional Matera panino tasting made with authentic semolina bread and regional ingredients, including artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and preserved vegetables. Your tasting includes a drink of your choice—water, soft drink, beer, or a glass of local wine—allowing you to experience the flavours of Matera exactly as its residents did.

Your tour ends at the stunning Cathedral of Matera, a remarkable 13th-century Romanesque monument perched at the city's highest point, overlooking the Sassi. Appreciate its beautiful architectural details, historic works of art, and breathtaking views of the ancient areas and surrounding countryside.

This private tour ensures an intimate and personal experience, letting you connect deeply with Matera’s culture, history, and flavours in a way that no standard walking tour can offer.
