Cycling through Matera
My partner and I took the e-bike tour, and we were lucky enough to do it with Gianni, a Matera native, former teacher, and now a tour guide. Once we got comfortable with the electric bike, we started our tour. We saw the first public housing units given to the people of Matera who came from the Sassi. We stopped at a quarry with local depictions and then moved on to visit a very particular church, to which a crypt is connected. We had the chance to enter both (they are connected inside), to visit them carefully, and to go down to the cellar of the crypt, passing through the refectory and the ancient oven area. We then set off again on our bikes toward the remains of a Neolithic village. We paused to look at the morphology of the village, complete with a detailed explanation, and we also learned about the local wild herbs. We then moved on to the caves that are opposite Matera, visiting the most interesting ones, capturing their various nuances, and observing Matera from another perspective. The tour lasted 3 hours, but they flew by! Gianni's explanations, precise and detailed, and the balanced and stimulating tour, allowed us to spend a morning in total relaxation, taking home a piece of the history of this place that is unique in the world. Experience recommended to anyone; don't be scared off by the “3 hours” because I can guarantee you that they are well-paced between the various stops and the related explanations.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discovering the hidden treasures of Matera in and bike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Matera.
How much does Discovering the hidden treasures of Matera in and bike cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Discovering the hidden treasures of Matera in and bike take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Discovering the hidden treasures of Matera in and bike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Matera, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discovering the hidden treasures of Matera in and bike?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discovering the hidden treasures of Matera in and bike suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discovering the hidden treasures of Matera in and bike?
+
Around 0 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discovering the hidden treasures of Matera in and bike 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.
