Highly recommended!
Anyone who wants to discover the natural beauty of our beloved Basilicata region should turn to Ivy Tour Basilicata, with knowledgeable guides and interesting excursions.
I had the pleasure of being a guest of the very friendly and knowledgeable guides, Rocco and Emanuele. Thanks to them, I spent a wonderful day in Sasso di Castalda and Satriano. Beautiful villages to explore by wandering through the narrow streets, an exciting crossing on the Tibetan bridge, and a delicious lunch recommended by the guides. I recommend everyone to visit these places and rely on IvyTour's experience and hospitality!
