After meeting your guide in Via Alessandro Volta , you'll climb on board your tuk-tuk ready to begin your tour of historic Matera . Did you know that this fun vehicle is called an " Ape calessino " in Italian?
Throughout your tuk-tuk tour, you'll make a number of different stops at the city's most important places of interest , allowing you to investigate them up close and take photos. Your first visit will be the Church of Purgatory . Built in 1747, this church stands out for its numerous architectural references to death. Discover why its façade features so many skulls and skeletons on your guided tour!
Just five minutes away from the Church of Purgatory, you'll reach Matera Cathedral . Located at the highest point in the city, this temple is known for its 52-metre-tall (170 feet) belfry, which towers over the historic centre, and whose seven bells can be heard all around the city.
Climb back on board your tuk-tuk for the journey to the Church of San Giovanni , before heading deep into the famous Sasso Barisano and Sasso Cavoso neighbourhoods . These districts are home to the incredible ancient ' sassi di Matera' , or cave dwellings, which have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. The rock-hewn houses and golden-stone streets of the Sassi districts are so reminiscent of Jerusalem that they have been used as filming locations for iconic movies, including Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ .
From here, we'll begin wrapping up our tour as we make our way to Piazza San Francesco after an immersive 50-minute tuk-tuk tour .

Categories Europe , Italy
Ready to discover Italy’s oldest city with an expert? Learn about its fascinating history and culture with one of these epic Matera guided tours. You’ll find them below, so keep reading!
Located in the Basilicata region in Southern Italy, Matera is the country’s most ancient city and the third oldest city in the world (!) It’s also an absolute dream destination for history and archaeology buffs and a highly recommended place to visit when in Italy.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site , Matera dates back to the 3rd century BC, and it boasts magnificent remains of ancient life. This includes caves, primitive settlements, rock churches, and a mesmerizing landscape.
I was born and raised in Bologna, in Northern Italy, but for some reason, I didn’t make it to Matera until last year. Big mistake – I was absolutely blown away by it!
Matera quickly became one of my very favorite places in Italy , and I can’t wait to go back and spend another long weekend there. It’s such a unique place, unlike any other in the country.
