Ancient dwellings dug into the tuff. A deep "valley" (gravina) crossed by a stream. Roofs that become floors for the homes of the upper levels. A dense network of alleys, and the impression of walking in a papier-mâché nativity scene.

Abbiamo visitato questa bellissima città che è stata davvero una rivelazione in quanto è unica al mondo ed emoziona grazie anche ad Antonio, la nostra guida, che ha saputo farci appassionare con tutti i suoi racconti ed aneddoti vari. Girare per Matera senza una guida esperta, non la si apprezza pienamente. Antonio ha davvero passione e la trasmette con maestria. Consiglio il tour con lui. P.s. Fatevi raccontare da lui un episodio divertente relativo ad un monumento in una piazza famosa di Matera, che un turista pensava fosse una reclama di supposte :-)))

Matera è stata una vera scoperta, una città unica, raffinata, elegante, piena di fascino…. imperdibile! E grazie alla nostra guida, Antonio che ci ha accompagnati nel tour dei sassi, abbiamo avuto modo di apprezzarla e conoscerla in tanti aspetti. La passione, la competenza e l’amore di Antonio per la sua città ci sono stati tutti trasmessi e ne abbiamo un bellissimo ricordo

Un giro di tre ore per il Piano, la Civita, i sassi barisano e caveoso, visitando gli angoli più reconditi e pittoreschi di questa città unica, condotti dal prof. Francesco De Lellis, che ci ha trasmesso tutta la sua cultura e simpatia. Al rientro, la sig. ra Chiara ci ha spiegato con dovizia di particolari e fatto degustare alcune specialità enogastronomiche della zona. Una suggestiva e totalmente appagante full immersion in questa città unica. Davvero consigliabile!
