Totally worth it. I don’t take tours generally but wanted some expert help with the Nuraghe, and our guide Francesca was wonderful. Totally worth doing.

We had a very knowledgeable, friendly and communicative guide. In addition the car was very clean, almost new and the driver very good! When we wanted to stop for food they made sure to arrange that.

Wonderful Francesca guided us through history, gave us a ride, and entertained us with history and humor. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Thanks, Francesca! M&C from New York City

It looks like this tour is the best and the cheapest. Francesca was a fantastic tour guide and told us lots of history we did not know. She was punctual and picked us up at our hotel. There were only two of us so we went in a comfortable car and she told us about the island as we drove through villages and the countryside. The site itself is not to be missed and most impressive. We realised, because of the bus times from Cagliati (afternoons) it would have been impossible to get there and back in a day and hard to reach. Francesca was like a friend showing us round and a lovely intelligent young woman. Do not miss!

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Francesca, picked us up on time and took us to the sites. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Su Nuraxi is larger than expected and fascinating. The general area is very scenic and beautiful too. There's a small cafe near the site where you can enjoy a quick coffee/beer. Also toilets near the site were immaculate. We were returned to the city area of our choice and recommend further places to visit. We highly recommend this day trip

Two of us took this tour. There were a total of four people along with our wonderful guide, Francesca, who picked us up conveniently near our room in the Old City of Cagliari. The ride to Barumini was comfortable and Francesca, a native Sardinian who can speak Italian, Sardinian and very good English, shared a lot of information about Sardinia. The tour of the nuraghe was very informative and interesting, albeit a little treacherous climbing down into the center of the stones. The added tour of the nearby museum and estate was also informative and interesting, and the total amount of time (half day) was just right. Francesca dropped us off at the location of our choice back in Cagliari. And then she came running after us to return my cell phone which I had left in the backseat of her vehicle. Wonderful!

We did a small-group tour, about six of us, with a driver 'Francesco' and a tour guide 'Francesca', which was comfortable and the tour informative. Francesca was able to answer all our questions easily and took us through the site at a comfortable pace. It's a fascinating site to visit and well worth it and not expensive.
