    Beautiful day

    Accompanied on the places by friendly drivers and visited the cities with experienced and passionate guides. The cost includes a great meal at the Pein Assut restaurant in Altamura with very welcoming staff.... in short, a great day

    Response from the operator: Grazie per averci scelto. Alla prossima :)

    Spectacular

    We booked the tour of the Murgia relying on this agency, choosing the evening visit to be able to admire the sunset and the first lights that light up on the city, which seems to turn into a nativity scene. A minibus accompanied us first to the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Palomba, where a very prepared guide awaited us who told us the history of the place, a hidden jewel suspended on the Gravina di Matera, where silence and panorama blend into a truly unforgettable experience. Then we continued with the minibus towards Murgia. Discovering the Murgia materana, we crossed a unique landscape made of canyons, caves, rock churches and ancient paths carved into the rock. It was a great experience at the price of 18 euros per person.

    Response from the operator: Vi ringraziamo per averci scelto e per i vs complimenti. Lavoriamo per dare sempre il meglio

    Fun day out in bread making towns of Pulia

    We took this tour knowing it was all in Italian so we used Google translate, which allowed us to gain a reasonable understanding from our well informed guides. Visit included tasting at a bakery and huge lunch in a local Osteria that was great fun with the other Italian guests on the tour. Got to see parts of Altamura and Gravinia that you would miss if you were doing it on your own. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

    An enjoyable full day with a fun Italian lunch

    A very enjoyable day. In Altamura we had a guide Lucia that was very knowledgeable and fun. We had an excellent lunch in an Osteria and spend the afternoon in Gravina with another knowledgeable guide. Very impressed. The van that picked us was new and the driver was very good.

    The best tour ever!

    This was one of the best tours we took in Puglia. Very well organized. A private driver took us to Gravina where we were met by a very knowledgeable local guide. Then, the driver took us to Altamura for a great lunch. Then we were picked up by the nicest local guide Lucia for the city tour. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Would definitely recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: it's a very pleasure for us to know everything was well. Thanks so much for your positive feedback ; it's very important for us to know that our job is valid. Best regards

    Day in Altamura and Gravina Guided Tour with Lunch in an Osteria: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Matera.

    How much does Day in Altamura and Gravina Guided Tour with Lunch in an Osteria cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Matera usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Day in Altamura and Gravina Guided Tour with Lunch in an Osteria take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Matera is not rushed.

    Is Day in Altamura and Gravina Guided Tour with Lunch in an Osteria worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Matera, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Day in Altamura and Gravina Guided Tour with Lunch in an Osteria?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Day in Altamura and Gravina Guided Tour with Lunch in an Osteria suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day in Altamura and Gravina Guided Tour with Lunch in an Osteria?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Matera can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Matera and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day in Altamura and Gravina Guided Tour with Lunch in an Osteria start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Matera within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Matera?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Matera experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover Matera, the ancient city - English tour, Tour in the Sassi of Matera with Casa Grotta and Rock Church, Matera's Sassi Walking Tour - PREMIUM GUIDES. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Matera?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Matera?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
