My husband and I took part in one of the guided tours by Giusy, our guide, starting at 5 in the afternoon. Giusy was very good: she told us stories and anecdotes related to the city and the stones, also taking us to visit a cave-house and a church, where a man born in the cave-houses told us his story and sang folk songs, which made the visit even more folkloristic and engaging.

Beautiful tour. Our guide (Giusy) really trained on the historical but also "human" notions of what is the history of the stones of Matera. Not tiring tour despite the morphology of the stones with interesting breaks in contact with the locals and their testimonies. I recommend doing it in the evening to enjoy Matera at sunset and suffer less from the heat.

We are a family of 4. We requested the guide for Matera and Giuseppe was a very professional and prepared guide. He has been able to enhance aspects of Matera and its history, little known and unusual. A tour that fully satisfied us and that we will carry in our hearts.
