Competence and friendliness to get to know the Sassi and more
Excellent guided tour experience with Giulio, who focused on the various facets of such a special city, combining competence, critical vision, and local friendliness! Very useful as a first approach to visiting the Sassi and more, to best grasp their authenticity and collect their testimonies.

Well done Giulio, very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and above all, he conveyed to me respect for this truly incredible territory. Very happy, thank you.

I love Matera, I love Giulio.
Wonderful experience with Giulio, an exceptional guide. The 3 hours flew by, I learned so many things about Matera, truly unique and beautiful, and I had so much fun. Giulio is so nice. He is very talented and professional, but at the same time, he makes you laugh a lot. Very nice group, truly a beautiful experience.

Simply unique!
Giulio is a wonderful, knowledgeable, ironic, and captivating person; he captures the attention of both adults and children (if I had to go back to school, I would want a teacher like him). The tour with Giulio is an experience to be lived, absolutely recommended!
via Viator (translated)
THE BEST!
Giulio is very good, very friendly, and immerses you in the history in a simple yet detailed way. He knows how to engage everyone, both adults and children. Time flies even under the scorching heat of August. Don't make the mistake of walking around the Sassi without Giulio! Highly recommended

Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Matera.
How much does Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio cost?
+
Prices start at $17 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 Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio 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 Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 265 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Matera, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio?
+

Is Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio 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 Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio?
+
Around 93 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.

+

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?
+
