THE MAGIC OF STONE - Beautiful 2-hour visit among the rocks of Matera, made fascinating and very interesting even for children aged 4 and 7 ONLY thanks to the presence of the certified tour guide Mr. Pasquale Marchetti whom I thank on behalf of the whole group!!! He managed to make us immediately passionate about what surrounded us, we regret having to leave otherwise we would have asked him for other tours.

Not exciting - I was not satisfied. I probably misunderstood, but it seemed like they said the tour lasted 1h30 while in the end we did less than 1h. In my opinion it's not worth the €15 ticket. The agency, however, is very professional and the employees are nice, honorable mention to the lady "buttadentro", very nice.
