Matera

We did an ape calessino tour. We should have done it on our 1st day, because it gave us a much better idea of where we were and which sites to visit first.

We did a 1 1/2 hour tour.

There are well marked tourist walks you can do on your own, or if you prefer a guide, there are 2 tourists offices, one on Piazza Vittorio Veneto, and one on the walk down on on the opposite side of the street by the parking garage.

Both speak English and are very helpful.

For both the ape callesino tour and a walking tour, make reservations.
