About This Tour
The Sassi of Matera, the cathedral, the rock churches and the cave house are the most important ancient sites of this complex city, and visiting them alone can be counterproductive. Save time with an expert guide by taking part in a tour that includes all the most unmissable monuments! Discover the history and curiosities about the Matera Sassi and enter the Cathedral, the most representative rock church of the city (the Madonna di Idris) and visit the first cave house in Matera.
