Overview

Discover Matera in a convenient, exclusive, and engaging way with our one-hour minicar tour, perfect for exploring the famous Sassi of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site, without long walks. Aboard a SIGHTSEEING CART with a local driver and multilingual audio guide, you will visit the city’s most iconic sites, enjoying clear explanations, breathtaking views, and stops at the most scenic points.

The route passes through the Sasso Barisano, it continues into Sasso Caveoso, the oldest, where the cave houses seem to merge with the rock, creating one of the world’s most extraordinary urban landscapes.

The tour includes external visits to two important churches: the Church of San Giovanni Battista and the Church of San Pietro Caveoso, situated in a panoramic location.

One of the most exciting moments is the visit to a typical cave house, furnished as it was in the past, allowing you to understand how families lived up until the 1950s.

Activity itinerary

Chiesa San Giovanni Battista

The Church of San Giovanni Battista in Matera rises with austere Romanesque grace, carved in pale local stone that catches the southern light. Its sculpted portal and quiet interior feel like a threshold between the rugged Sassi and a hush of sacred history.

Piazza San Pietro Caveoso

The Sasso Caveoso in Matera unfolds like a stone amphitheatre of ancient caves and winding paths, clinging to the edge of a wild ravine. Time seems etched into every rock, where human dwellings and the rugged landscape blend into a single, haunting panorama.

Casa Grotta di Vico Solitario

A Casa Grotta in Matera is a cool, carved refuge where stone walls cradle the echoes of everyday life from centuries past. Simple tools, worn floors, and dim light weave a quiet storey of resilience shaped directly from the rock itself.

Matera

The Sasso Barisano in Matera cascades in layers of honey coloured stone, its houses and churches stacked like a living sculpture. Balconies, arches, and winding alleys create a bright, intricate maze that still hums with daily life.
