What you can expect

Discover Matera with a guided walking tour accompanied by a licensed local guide, who will take you to the heart of the Sassi di Matera, a UNESCO heritage site and symbol of a thousand-year-old city.

During the tour, you'll visit a cave church with restricted access, normally closed to the public, which you can only access with authorised guides, immersing yourself in the city's most authentic spirituality and history.

You'll continue your journey through time with a visit to the Barbarian Cemetery, an evocative place overlooking the Matera ravine, from which you can admire unique views and discover stories of battles, faith, and ancient civilisations.

You'll stroll through the ancient areas of the Sassi and enter an authentic cave house to understand how people lived in Matera until the 1950s. With a visit to an artistic craftsmanship atelier, local traditions will come to life thanks to the tales of a master craftsman, guardian of Lucanian culture and knowledge.

You'll end the experience with a convivial tasting of typical Lucanian products, to say goodbye to Matera with its most authentic flavours.
