What you can expect

  • Discover Matera on a guided walking tour that offers a deeper and more complete exploration of the city’s historic centre and the UNESCO-listed Sassi. Starting in the upper part of town, follow your local guide as the landscape gradually changes from built streets to an extraordinary city carved entirely into stone.

    As you walk through historic squares and scenic viewpoints, enjoy sweeping views over the Sassi and the Gravina canyon. One of the most impressive panoramas is near the Cathedral, where you can clearly see how architecture and nature are intertwined in Matera’s unique setting.

    The experience continues inside the Sassi with visits to remarkable rock churches. From the Church of Sant’Antonio Abate to the striking Madonna de Idris, suspended above Sasso Caveoso, you’ll discover frescoes and sacred spaces that reflect centuries of medieval spirituality and religious life carved into the rock.

    You’ll also step inside a traditionally furnished cave house to learn how families once lived in these spaces until the mid-20th century. The tour ends on a pleasant note with a tasting of local Lucanian specialities. The experience is available as a private tour or as a shared small-group option.
