    About me

    This is me, Maria Teresa. I work as a professional tourist guide, licensed by the Basilicata Region, for French, English and Italian speaking tourists. I like to guide tourists across the old town centre walking along the tiny lanes that characterize the charming Sassi di Matera showing them the most evocative places of the city while telling them the local history and folk stories and anecdotes, in particular my Grandfather ones.
