Giusi molto simpatica, un personaggio pittorico! Unica pecca: metà del tempo dedicato alla spiegazione, molto interessante. Invece abbiamo trovato di cattivo gusto portarci in negozi per farci acquistare souvenir. Tutto il gruppo non ha apprezzato. Peccato! Translate this opinion into English.

Giusi was very nice, a delightful character! The only flaw: half the time was spent on the explanation, which was very interesting. However, we found it in bad taste to take us to shops to buy souvenirs. The whole group didn't appreciate it. What a shame! Opinion translated. Show original.

Tour molto interessante per capire la storia dei sassi e dei suoi abitanti. Ti rendi conto che alcune cose riesci a vederle e capirle solo grazie alla guida. Nel nostro caso, Giusi, oltre a essere molto simpatica e brillante, è anche competente e sempre con aneddoti interessanti Translate this opinion into English.

La visita guidata ai Sassi di Matera è stata eccezionale, soprattutto grazie alla nostra guida Romina. Estremamente preparata, precisa nel raccontare la storia e i dettagli architettonici, e attentissima a ogni nostra curiosità. Senza le sue spiegazioni puntuali non avremmo mai colto la vera essenza di questo luogo magico. Consigliatissima! Translate this opinion into English.

The guided tour of the Sassi of Matera was exceptional, thanks in large part to our guide, Romina. She was extremely knowledgeable, precise in explaining the history and architectural details, and attentive to our every question. Without her detailed explanations, we would never have grasped the true essence of this magical place. Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Visita interessantissima, sebbene fosse x me la 2 volta con guida a Matera, (la precedente era una guida indipendente). Devo sottolineare che la visita è stata resa particolarmente speciale soprattutto grazie a Maria Pia, persona di elevatissima cultura, che ha raccontato con passione e slancio un territorio che ama profondamente, arricchendolo di considerazioni interessanti e di citazioni di brani (Giovanni Pascoli, Carlo Levi, ecc…) e mostrando chiavi di lettura differenti dal solito. Chapeau! Translate this opinion into English.

A very interesting visit, even though it was my second time with a guide in Matera (the previous one was an independent guide). I must emphasize that the visit was made particularly special thanks to Maria Pia, a highly cultured person, who passionately and enthusiastically described a region she deeply loves, enriching it with interesting insights and quotes from passages (Giovanni Pascoli, Carlo Levi, etc.) and offering a different perspective than usual. Hats off! Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita guiada con Giuseppe fue genial, además de enseñarnos la ciudad, nos explicó el origen y la evolución desde un punto de vista de las personas que vivían en ella. Se nota que le encanta Matera. Gracias a él, la hemos visto desde otro punto de vista y nos ha encantado. Después de la visita nos quedamos más tiempo del previsto para recorrer por nuestra cuenta.

Guida preparatissima e molto simpatica. A mio avviso la visita sarebbe dovuta durare di più perché cose da vedere c’è n’erano in abbondanza, ma facendo iniziare il giro prima, per esempio dalle 9/9.30 nel periodo più caldo dell’anno. Comunque consigliatissima! Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. In my opinion, the visit should have lasted longer because there was so much to see, but it could have started earlier, for example, at 9-9:30 during the hottest time of year. Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Abbiamo apprezzato la guida per aver dato una panoramica dei luoghi salienti, con l’aggiunta di informazioni storiche ma anche recenti sulla città di Matera. Matera non si può vedere tutta in due ore e mezza, ma questa visita guidata è stata sicuramente un primo passo per conoscerla e, magari, per ritornarci. Grazie, Pasquale! Translate this opinion into English.

We appreciated the guide's overview of the main sights, adding both historical and recent information about the city of Matera. You can't see all of Matera in two and a half hours, but this guided tour was definitely a first step toward getting to know it and, perhaps, returning. Thanks, Pasquale! Opinion translated.

No se completo el recorrido, por falta de tiempo El guía muy simpático pero no administró el tiempo y cuando se cumplió el tiempo de la budista nos dejó con 4 lugares imprescindibles según el, para ver. Hubiera sido interesante que nos acompañe todo el recorrido.

The tour wasn't completed due to lack of time. The guide was very friendly, but he didn't manage the time well, and when the allotted time for the Buddhist temple was up, he left us with only four places he considered essential to see. It would have been interesting if he had accompanied us for the entire tour.
