A magical late afternoon in Matera.
A magical visit, reserved on the advice of Michele Angelo from Damascus. The tour of the city, the sassi, and the Mugia park under the setting sun in a convertible vehicle allowed us to appreciate the beauty of Matera and its site that spans centuries and transports us. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Nous sommes vraiment contents que notre tour vous ait plu ! Merci à vous !😊

Great views and rock church/cave experience
Great way to experience the ancient caves up close. Incredible views, as well. Our guide was knowledgeable and had interesting information and stories about the area. And after the tour, he was so kind in helping us secure a taxi. Then, when our daughter discovered that she left her phone on the bus after the bus had left and the tour was over, our guide make sure we got in the taxi to take us to our dinner reservation on time, and then he personally found the bus, retrieve the phone, and delivered the phone to our restaurant. Truly above and beyond! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience in Matera!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour Sassi di Matera and Murgia(Multilingual Audio Guide): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Matera.
How much does Tour Sassi di Matera and Murgia(Multilingual Audio Guide) cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 Tour Sassi di Matera and Murgia(Multilingual Audio Guide) take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Tour Sassi di Matera and Murgia(Multilingual Audio Guide) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 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 Tour Sassi di Matera and Murgia(Multilingual Audio Guide)?
+
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 Tour Sassi di Matera and Murgia(Multilingual Audio Guide) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour Sassi di Matera and Murgia(Multilingual Audio Guide)?
+
Around 3 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour Sassi di Matera and Murgia(Multilingual Audio Guide) 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.
