Private Guided Tour in Matera - Local Guide

After enjoying breathtaking views and listening to the incredible and compelling story of the Sassi you will cross the most unspoiled area of the Sassi. You will also discover the less touristy corners and you will arrive in the most beautiful square of Sasso Caveoso, Piazza San Pietro, one of the most evocative panoramic points of the city.

You will visit a typically furnished cave-house museum, a unique chance to see with your own eyes the unhealthy conditions in which local people lived in the cave dwellings of the Sassi until not so long ago. This is the key to understand the most controversial part of the history of Matera, when the city was called the national shame. A visit to the museum is also an opportunity to see an ancient cistern for collecting rainwater and understand the water collection system, one of the most interesting aspects of the city, which will be explained in detail by the guides.

Walking along an ancient street built on the medieval walls of the city you will admire its beauty and you will understand why so many directors have chosen it as a film set. This will be an opportunity to tell anecdotes and stories about the many films shot in Matera, from Mel Gibson's controversial The Passion to 007's spectacular latest film, No Time to Die.

In Piazza Duomo you will admire the Romanesque facade of the Medieval Cathedral of Matera and a breathtaking view of the Saso Barisano.
