About Matera
Matera is unlike anywhere else in Italy: a labyrinth of Sassi carved directly into the tufa rock, where cave dwellings, rock churches and stone stairways have been lived in for millennia. The best way to read this landscape is with a guide who grew up with its stories, and the highest-rated options here set the bar — from the Guided Tour of Matera's Sassi: Cave House & Rock Church, a two-hour walk with a perfect rating, to the Private 3-Hour Excursion to the Sassi di Matera: Explore Rock Churches & Cave Dwelling for travellers who want the Sassi entirely to themselves.

Frequently asked questions
Travellers consistently reward guides who explain the Sassi from the inside: how cave houses were lived in, what the rock churches meant, and the untold stories behind the stone. The highest-rated tours here pair a licensed local guide with small groups and a genuine two-hour walk through the Sassi, rather than a quick photo stop.
