TUTTO MAGNIFICO! ★★★★★
Abbiamo visitato Matera durante le festività pasquali. Ci siamo affidate a Matera City Tour perchè ci organizzasse il week-end. Siamo state fortunate!! Le ragazze dell'agenzia sono state gentili e pazienti nonostante la marea di gente che in quei giorni affollava le strade di Matera. Abbiamo optato per una visita a piedi nei Sassi con guida ECCELLENTE...Siamo rimaste davvero impressionate, da sole non avremmo potuto apprezzare fino in fondo la bellezza del territorio. Per completare la nostra visita abbiamo deciso di fare il tour in bus al Parco della Murgia Materana. A bordo del bus un'assistente molto simpatica e preparata ci ha fornito molte indicazioni utili sulla storia del Parco e della città stessa. La vista panoramica dei Sassi dal Belvedere è MOZZAFIATO!! Ciliegina sulla torta la ricca degustazione di prodotti tipici alla fine dei tour. Che dire, grazie a Matera City Tour e il suo staff per averci permesso di scoprire una città che si è dimostrata una vera perla! Consigliatissimo!

"MERAVIGLIOSAMENTE MATERA!!!" ★★★★★
Matera è una città affascinante sotto tutti gli aspetti. Si viene letteralmente rapiti da panorami mozzafiato e da tutta la storia e l'arte che vive in questa zona.meravigliosa. Consigliamo scarpe comode ma soprattutto di fare visite guidate. I nostri complimenti vanno all'agenzia "Matera City Tour" dove abbiamo trovato tanta disponibilità, gentilezza e professionalità. Senza di loro, dei loro affascinanti racconti, delle loro "coccole" con degustazioni di prodotti tipici alla fine di ogni escursione, non sarebbe stata la stessa cosa.
