This tour company came highly recommended and did not disappoint. We based ourselves in Brindisi so we were picked up from their office in the town, in a small mini bus. The driver was very polite and the tour guide was excellent as she came from Matera. We had a wonderful lunch with the other guests on the tour , 7 of us in total and then left to explore for the remainder of the afternoon. Brilliant day was had by all
