Discover Matera on a guided walking tour accompanied by a licensed local guide, who will lead you into the heart of the Sassi of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and symbol of a thousand-year-old city. The tour begins in Piazza Pascoli, overlooking the Belvedere Guerricchio, one of the most characteristic and popular viewpoints in the city. During the tour, you will visit a Rupestrian church with restricted access, normally closed to the public, which you can only enter with authorized guides, immersing yourself in the city's most authentic spirituality and history. You will continue your journey through time with a visit to the Barbarian Cemetery, a picturesque site overlooking the Matera canyon, from which you can admire unique views and discover stories of battles, faith, and ancient civilizations. You will stroll through the ancient neighborhoods of the Sassi and enter an authentic cave dwelling 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 stories of a master craftsman, a guardian of Lucanian culture and knowledge. You will learn about the tradition of the Carro della Bruna from those who have been creating it by hand for many years! You will conclude the experience with a convivial tasting of typical Lucanian produce, to bid farewell to Matera with its most authentic flavors.
