After checking in and checking your tickets directly at our agency in Via Nicola de Giosa, tourists will be escorted to the bus. From there, we will leave comfortably in the direction of Matera, enjoying a panoramic journey of about an hour through the suggestive landscapes of the Murgia.

Once you arrive in Matera, the two-hour guided tour will begin. An expert Physical Guide will lead you to discover the Sassi of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, revealing its thousand-year history and timeless charm. The group tour with Live Guide is available in four languages: Italian, English, French and Spanish. Alternatively, for those who want a more comfortable and faster experience, we offer an exciting panoramic tuk-tuk tour. This option allows you to cross the narrow alleys and the most iconic viewpoints of the Sassi without effort, admiring the millennial city from a unique and fun perspective. The tuk-tuk tour is perfect to get a complete overview of the Sassi in less time, ideal for those with reduced mobility or simply want a different point of view. Whether you choose the warmth of a local Guide or the comfort of the tuk-tuk, you will experience an unforgettable journey into the heart of the stone.

Matera

At the end of the guided tour or tuk-tuk experience, you will have one hour of free time to explore Matera on your own. It will be the perfect opportunity to Shopping in local craft shops, buy unique terracotta souvenirs, taste some typical delicacies or simply take the last souvenir photos from the wonderful viewpoints on the Sassi. At the end of the hour of freedom, we will meet all together at the meeting point established to continue our journey to Altamura.

Altamura

Once you have gathered the group at the meeting point, we will board our bus and head to Altamura, the renowned city of bread and Emperor Frederick II. The journey takes about 20 - 25 minutes : a short and pleasant scenic journey that will take us back to the heart of Puglia, ready to discover the historical beauties and authentic flavours of this beautiful medieval town.

Altamura

Once in Altamura, we will have 90 minutes to immerse ourselves in the history and flavours of this beautiful medieval city. We will start with a walk in the old town to admire the majestic Cathedral of Altamura (the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta), the only masterpiece commissioned directly by Emperor Frederick II of Swabia in 1232. Afterwards, we will make an unmissable stop at the Santa Caterina Bakery, the oldest bakery in Europe. Here you can breathe in the millenary tradition of white art and take your lunch break. You will be able to enjoy the famous Pane di Altamura PDO and the delicious local focaccia freshly baked directly on site. Please note: Lunch and drinks inside the bakery are not included in the tour fee. Each participant will pay directly on site based on what they decide to consume or buy for lunch.
