Altamura & Matera : Private Tour from Bari

Enjoy an unforgettable experience between two authentic jewels of southern Italy : Matera, the famous "City of Stones," a UNESCO Site, and Altamura, renowned for its DOP bread and Swabian cathedral.

Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll begin your journey in Altamura, a city with medieval roots and the beating heart of the Alta Murgia. You'll visit the magnificent Cathedral of Frederick II, strolling through the narrow streets of the historic center. You'll also stop at a traditional bakery to taste the famous Altamura Bread.

In the afternoon, the tour continues to Matera, where you'll immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Sassi, ancient dwellings carved into the limestone rock. The guided tour includes the Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano districts, a typical cave dwelling, and one of the most evocative rock churches. You'll discover how the city, once a symbol of poverty, has been reborn as a film set and the 2019 European Capital of Culture.
