How much do city tours in Matera cost?

Matera walking tours generally sit in the mid-range for Italian city tours, with budget-friendly two-hour group walks and premium private excursions at the top end. Because prices are shown in your own currency when you book, compare the inclusions rather than the headline figure: cave house entry, group size and tour length vary more than the.

Which Matera city tours offer free cancellation?

Most tours on this page can be cancelled free of charge up to a set time before departure, including the two-hour Sassi walks and the open-bus panoramic tour. Check the cancellation note on each individual tour before booking, since the exact deadline differs and a few experiences are non-refundable.

About Matera

Matera is unlike anywhere else in Italy: a labyrinth of cave dwellings and rock-hewn churches carved into a limestone gorge, inhabited for thousands of years and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For a first visit, a guided walk is the fastest way to understand what you're looking at, and the Guided Tour of Matera's Sassi: Cave House & Rock Church pairs a cave house visit with a rock church in just two hours. If you'd rather go deeper with a smaller group, the Private 3-Hour Excursion to the Sassi di Matera: Explore Rock Churches & Cave Dwelling covers more ground at an unhurried pace.

Frequently asked questions

Matera's Sassi are not a normal historic centre: they are cave dwellings and rock churches cut into the same hillside, often with few street signs and steep stairways. A guided tour explains how people actually lived in the caves and points out details you would walk past alone, such as cisterns, carved facades and the boundary between the Sassi.
