The day trip was a lot! It was a 10 hour day. Matera was absolutely amazing BUT I think it should be known that it is a lot of walking up and down cobblestone stairs in the hot sun. If you are on the self guided path it can be very confusing where to go. Getting lost in this vertical city is a nightmare because of the terrain. Just be aware of this! I don’t recommend it for elderly. We were exhausted by the time we finally found our way out of the city. Now with that being said it is a very special experience but not an easy day. Our step count with both locations was over 20,000. The bus was comfortable but again just be prepared for a lot of driving. Would we do it again if we would have known? Yes but we would have prepared better.
