This was one of the highlights of my trip. Having researched the ruins of Craco Vecchio, I knew that I needed to contact il Comune di Craco and purchase the Daily Craco card. The office opened at 10am and I paid 15€ for the full experience. It began with a brief tour of the old convent, where I was the only person visiting so Saverio ended up giving me a private tour which was incredibly informative. After that, I went to the meeting point where I found about 7 other couples just waiting. Before we set off, we were all given hard hats and began the tour. Having paid attention to Saverio's private tour, I was already in possession of the history of Craco Vecchio which allowed me to spend most of my time taking photos. The overall tour took about an hour and there were even donkeys which were remarkably friendly. (Being a city dweller, I still find the idea of random farm animals something of a novelty.) It was a wonderful way to spend the morning, only a short drive from Matera.
