Review of: Guided tour on foot Sassi of Matera
Matera is a hidden gem. The local guides were informative and helpful in getting your bearings around the city. Some of the tour is not easy walking: stony pavements, uneven surfaces and ancient block paving. But the walk around the city is well worth it. A visit to the Cathedral is worth while with very early frescoes.…

Review of: Guided tour on foot Sassi of Matera
