Transfer is good, a guide was very bad - Arrived in Matera at 10:00. Minivan, just 6 people in total. The excursion last till 12:00. Half of the time we stayed outside the old city not even entering it, listening to a very boring guide Mario. He showed only a small part of the old city. Couldn’t answer any of our questions. Entrance ticket to the church and the cave (2€ each), in my opinion, the tour operator could include in the price, and, of course, I would buy the tour for 4€ more. From 12:00 to 15:30 we had free time. Since I’ve been there before, I’ve brought the people from my group to a nice local trattoria and after lunch showed them another part of the city and beautiful panoramic views that showed the whole city. The transfer was great and in time, but I was very disappointed with the guide. Not professional at all, very boring, looked like he was not happy to be even there with us.
