Are you looking for a guided tour, or how to do it with public transportation, or are you hoping for an itinerary?

Sandy, start a new thread so you get notices of replies to your question.
mdreed, you can take a train or bus to Matera (about an hour), then either go to the sassi on your own, or take a mini-bus tour (not great), or hire a golf-cart. The path through the sassi is made of river rocks, so west good shoes for uneven pavements.
If you visit during the summer, it will be hot.
At any time of year, I would suggest an overnight stay so you can walk through the sassi early in the morning, and take the passeggiata in the evening.
