- Davvero interessante, bella ambientazione e video molto suggestivi e ricchi di storia e curiosità su Matera.
- Great venue! Very informative and immersive on the history of Matera... Very much recommend
- Great show in stunning scenery, worth every penny.
- Spettacolare!
- It was a very interesting experience, we learnt a lot of important information about Matera in an interactive way. Magical place. Only recommendation would be that the audios tell you the next spot to see or that you have visible numbers to know the order.
- Qualcosa che non si poteva neanche immaginare, la vita negli ipogei. Il multimediale rende tutto affascinante, emozionante come i vicoli, le scale ed i sassi di Matera, sono ricordi indelebili, il regalo più bello del mio S.S. Natale 2024
