We arrived at the appointed time to mind the meeting point shop closed. Email to operator and calls to Viator'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.

Great and informative tour. They were flexible with time when we were late and needed to do a slightly condensed tour. Great way to see the town in a short space of time but definitely never rushed. Our teenage kids loved it. I had booked for my parents (70s) too but the day was 42 degrees so they opted out. So glad they did as some of the down hills were a bit adventurous. We did have to pedal quite hard but only for 1 or 2 hills. Recommend

Great way to see Matera , we were a group of 8 , it was good fun too!!
You do need the electric for a couple of hills so definitely recommend this trip

Quite a good tour but audio recorded narrative mainly focused on dates and architecture of churches around the town rather than history of anything else. The stop at a typical cave dwelling was the most interesting. Rickshaw was good fun and easy to operate but other couple struggled to keep up and didn’t pay attention to timings and route so time was wasted/ lost with guide - felt sorry for her as she had to keep going back to find them.

Giro in risciò molto divertente. La nostra guida Domenico, ha arricchito la nostra visita di dettagli interessanti, permettendoci di entrare nel cuore di Matera: una perla senza tempo.

Esperienza alternativa per visitare i sassi di Matera anche con dei ragazzi. Domenico è stato gentile e simpatico
Consigliato!

Matera is een heel mooie plaats om te bezoeken. Met de elektrische gocart is het ideaal om alle hotspots te zien.
Soms pittig omhoog.
Een live gids was leuker geweest ipv audiogids.
