Rotondella Greeters
Free Walk with a Local
Discover Rotondella through a free walk with a Local
Deep in traditions Rotondella, the “Balcony of the Ionian Sea” has awe inspiring views across the snaking plains and shimmering coast. Take a free walking tour with a Greeter to discover the history of the town. Wandering round the atmospheric back alleys will lead you up to the foot of the Baronial Castle taking in views of the whole town, ending at the glorious Tower where the ancient stones seem to whisper the history of the town, providing a fantastic photo setting.
For an authentic feel for the town and to get the best local info, take advantage of the services of the Rotondella Greeters, welcoming visitors off the tourist trail to experience the real Basilicata highlight, gaining true insights into the town that will stay with you long after you have left. Rotondella Greeters will also guide you to local trattorias serving hearty dishes, fragrant olive groves and terraced vineyards, seasonal festivals and quiet viewpoints for Ionian sunsets, introducing age-old customs that deepen your appreciation of this timeless hilltop community.

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .
Maximum six people!
Our core value #2 reads "Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people."
The reason is that each Greet should be an opportunity to talk to each other and that seems impossible in bigger groups.
Also important: we do not mingle people from different requests but serve only you (and your friends).
Meet a local volunteer
Our core value #1 reads "Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city."
It's true: Our Greeters love their city or town and they are proud to share this with guests.
How could you better discover the most interesting spots of a place?
Free service, no tipping
Our core value #3 reads "Meeting a Greeter is free of charge."
We do not follow a "give what you think is ok (but please give)" strategy. Greeters honestly do not like any tipping because what they give comes from their heart not because of any tipping expectation.
If you would like to support the Greeters as a whole you are welcome to donate to the International Greeter Association here.
