We traveled to Matera and planned our day around our scheduled tour with Grand Tour of the Stones . Three hours before our tour we received a notice that they canceled our tour and we could reschedule for April 3. Unfortunately we will be leaving the area. Our first tour was scheduled for April 1 and they canceled 3 weeks before and suggested we schedule for March 30.

Domi was fantastic. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the reasonable rates and a great way to see Matera in 2 hours. We would recommend this to everyone wanting a fun excursion.

We arrived at the appointed time to mind the meeting point shop closed. Email to operator and calls to La Vacanza Travel's calls to him revived no response. An hour or so later received communication from operator asking if we could be available to do the tour later in the afternoon. We answered in the affirmative; however, when we arrived we discovered the electronic tuk-tuk requires peddling. So wasn't going to work for my 92 year old aunt.

Such a fun way to see Bari! Our tour guide was lovely and the audio tour was very clever. Getting to see the cave house was great. We did an evening tour so was not too hot and had lovley sunset views of bari

What a fabulous way to see the sites of Matera. Our guide Dominico rode his bike in front of our electric rickshaw to direct where we needed to ride, and we each had our own audio guides to explain what we were seeing. There were plenty of stops, and we had time to go into many of the churches to have a look around. We also visited a fabulous Casa. The tour wasn’t rushed at all and it was the only one I could find that lasted 2 hours. There is a little bit of hard peddling at the end, but otherwise it’s very easy riding. And fun! Would definitely recommend.
