      The tour begins with the visit of the National Archeological Museum of Metaponto where you will discover the history of the city. Then, you will visit the Archeological Park of Apollonio Licio with its urban sanctuary, part of the Agorà and the main North-South axis (Plateia). After, you will move to the Tavole Palatine, the Doric temple buit by Acheans in the 630 b.C. The temple was called also “school of Phytagoras” in memory of the great philosopher and of his school. The tour ends with the archeological site of Pantanello. This area has acquired a great anthropological value after an excavation campaign carried out by the University of Texas in 1974. During the archeological excavations, an incredible variety of remains were found in a state of exceptional conservation.

      Solo travellers beware
      Very disappointed with Martulli Viaggi. I booked a Matera: Sassi di Matera Tour with Entry to Cave Houses on November 19, 2024 using Get Your Guide and paid upfront as a solo traveller. With only one day in Matera, I arrived at the meeting point at 3pm to be met with the receptionist stating that there was noone to take me on the tour. I couldn't understand why and no reason was given. She called her supervisor who stated I had to pay a further £30 for someone to take me. I refused. It felt like it was solely because there was only one person on the tour. They could have cancelled a few weeks before to allow me the chance to rebook with another company. They proceeded to issue a refund stating the reason was due to inclement weather. It was a beautiful day. I will never recommend this company who effectively ruined my one day in Matera with no thought or consideration.

      Walking tour of Matera
      The guide was friendly and welcoming. However, we didn't feel that we were given much history about the place and its people.

      Disappointing
      Honestly £50 for two, started late, over 30 people. Guide was hard to understand, couldn’t hear, no passion at all in such a historic area. Found out more from Google - so very disappointing. We left the tour 15 minutes from the end, so disappointed after paying so much money! Recommend discovering this magical and historic area by walking and googling! Have always found Free walking tours to be so much more informative

      Wortwhile guided tour
      Guide was knowledgeable, responded to all questions and didn't rush us. It would be difficult to gather this information without a guide.

      Amazing hike, beautiful views
      Claudio is an amazing guide, so friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. The hike is amazing and there are so many cool things to see along the way - the Tibetan bridge, cave churches, local plants, the river, beautiful views os the Sassi, and more. Make sure to bring hiking shoes and water, this trip is a bit strenuous!

      Not pleased
      Our guide was very broad strokes. No major details. Left not knowing how caves got there. Felt like I wanted a historian or architect to explain things but instead got a sweet older woman who didn’t provide insight.

      Worst Guide. Awful Experience
      We would like to place a formal complaint with regard to our Alberobello tour (booking # GYGG46YHXB24) which took place September 16 at 10:30am. As we discussed with you on that day, we are very angry at the tour guide who left us stranded early on the tour during a moment of photo opportunity. When we were finally able to reach our guide, INGO, by phone, he was very arrogant and condescending. He went as far as saying it wasn't his fault that we didn't catch up to him. His impoliteness was most unacceptable. In total dismay, we had no choice but find our way around and likely missed important information and many photo opportunities in this once in a lifetime trip. We have taken many tours through get you Guide and others and have found that the guides were always friendly, looked out for us, and confirmed the group was together. So this was a very frustratingly unique situation we found ourselves in. We finally walked around ourselves and eventually were able to get to our start point where our car was parked. Needless to say that we expect a full reimbursement of the tour

      Alberobello wonderful tour
      Our guide took a small group around the town . Interesting facts and good humour busting myths. This is a wonderful town to visit. Lots to see and do. Plenty of shops and restaurants.

      Tuk Tuk Your Way Around Matera!
      I would recommend using this service, especially if you have difficulty walking. Made my life so much easier and our guide, Andrea, was kind, informative and made sure we saw all the key sights. Matera involves quite a bit of walking and on a hot day, it can become arduous. Tuk Tuks are a great solution...and fun!

      Fascinating insight into the history of Matera … well worth it !
      Well worth doing the guided tour… you learn so much about the history and things that you would walk past without realising what you are seeing. A must do in Matera!

    Every time I get off in Metaponto, I always hope something has changed..... Magna Graecia, a country full of charm and culture. See those little houses, with neglected vegetation, dirty streets, a little jewel kept terrible. What a shame!!! You have gold and you don't realize it!!!

    Grazie per il Suo feedback. Vogliamo chiarire che siamo una semplice agenzia di viaggi e che quindi non ci occupiamo della gestione e manutenzione del territorio o delle sue attrazioni. Siamo dispiaciuti che Lei abbia trovato alcuni aspetti di Metaponto trascurati, ma riteniamo che una recensione negativa che influisce sul nostro punteggio complessivo sia ingiusta e non rifletta il nostro impegno e il nostro lavoro nel valorizzare questa bellissima zona (come da Lei sottolineato) impegnandoci a farla conoscere e apprezzare attraverso i nostri tour. Speriamo comunque che Lei possa continuare a scoprire e apprezzare le bellezze di Metaponto e della Magna Grecia.
