Reviews
Tripadvisor
Gentilezza e professionalità sono il souvenir di Matera City Tour ★★★★★
Tutte le persone dell'agenzia si impegnano in prima persona con grandi cortesia e professionalità per farti avere il più bel ricordo possibile di Matera. Noi abbiamo fatto la visita con il bus scoperto che consiglio se non si ha troppa voglia di scarpinare o si soffre il caldo. La guida è stata chiara e precisa ed era disponibile a tutte le domande. Ciliegina sulla torta la degustazione dei prodotti lucani, ottima e abbondante! Veramente eccezionale, da rifare.
