What to expect

Grab the chance to discover the unparalleled rocky habitat of Matera on a guided tour of its main attractions! Among alleys, hidden churches, and cave houses you will immerse yourself in the history and culture of this unique city, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993.

Begin your tour with a stop in Piazza San Francesco to admire the namesake church and then walk until you'll reach the highest point of the city, the Civita. Here you'll admire the Cathedral. Stroll among the narrow streets and winding alleys to reach via dei Fiorentini and visit the suggestive rock church of Sant'Antonio Abate.

The next stop of your tour will be a typically-furnished cave house, that you will have the chance to visit.
