MATERA BY SIGHTSEEING CART: Panoramic Tour of the Sassi and Rock Churches

Discover Matera in a convenient, exclusive, and engaging way with our one-hour minicar tour, perfect for exploring the famous Sassi of Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site, without long walks. Aboard a minicar with a local driver and multilingual audio guide, you will visit the city’s most iconic sites, enjoying clear explanations, breathtaking views, and stops at the most scenic points.

The route passes through the Sasso Barisano, the liveliest part of the Sassi, full of ancient tuff dwellings now transformed into shops, restaurants, and boutique hotels. It continues into Sasso Caveoso, the oldest and most picturesque district, where the cave houses seem to merge with the rock, creating one of the world’s most extraordinary urban landscapes.

The tour includes external visits to two important churches: the Church of San Giovanni Battista, a splendid example of medieval Romanesque architecture, and the Church of San Pietro Caveoso, situated in a panoramic location with spectacular views of the Gravina and the Sassi. Along the way, you can stop to take photos and admire the city’s most iconic points.

One of the most exciting moments is the visit to a typical cave house, furnished as it was in the past, allowing you to understand how families lived up until the 1950s, with cisterns, stone furniture, and spaces shared with animals.

Thanks to the multilingual audio guide, available in several languages, you can listen to stories, curiosities, and historical explanations in a clear and engaging way, making the experience suitable for travelers from all over the world.

This experience is ideal for couples, families, groups, and travelers who want to explore Matera in a relaxed way, without much walking, while fully enjoying the quality and depth of the discovery.
