Claudia and Barbara of Genna Tours are exceptional! They love Sardinia and have deep and varied knowledge of the history of this very special place in the world. They do what they say and say what they do. I highly recommend visiting Nora and exploring Sardinia with Genna Tours.

The excursion to Nora was a nice getaway. I was so impressed with the scope of the excavation. The guide was extremely informative and knowledgeable. I recommend a visit.

I had the absolute pleasure of embarking on a private tour of Nora in Sardinia, and I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. At first, I must confess, I wasn't really looking forward to the tour as much as my mom was. However, the charm of Nora and the proficiency of our guide, Claudia, completely transformed this tour into a highlight of our trip. Nora, with its stunning water views and immense historical depth, took my breath away. The ruins, the amphitheater, the mosaics, and the overall ambience of the place were captivating. Yet, what made this tour truly unforgettable was the ever-knowledgeable and friendly Claudia. Claudia was the embodiment of an ideal tour guide. Her knowledge about the site was extensive and her passion for the history of Nora was contagious. Every story, every detail she unveiled about the ruins, added a layer of intrigue to our exploration. Her friendly and engaging manner made the information she shared not just interesting, but truly captivating. It felt less like a conventional tour and more like a journey back in time narrated by a friend who knew all the secrets of the past. The tour was so much more than I had anticipated. It was educational, it was fun, it was visually stunning and, most importantly, it was inspiring. Thanks to Claudia, an excursion that I was not initially thrilled about turned out to be an experience I will cherish for a long time. If you ever find yourself in Sardinia, do yourself a favor and book this tour. Whether you are a history buff, a nature enthusiast, or someone just looking for a unique experience, Claudia's tour of Nora is sure to impress. She is a gem of a guide, and the tour is a testament to her dedication and love for Sardinian history and culture. Thank you, Claudia, for this incredible tour!

Claudia was a great guide, very knowledgable and friendly. The context she gave made the whole experience come alive. Nora is a beautiful and calm location surrounded by water and the ruins covered a much larger area than we expected. All in all, an excellent experience and highly recommend.

TillierdesignsT

We came here in the morning which was wise as it soon got very busy. Nice views and learning about the history that took place there.

Claudia and Barbara were knowledgeable and gracious guides. We very much enjoyed both tours we took with them. The Nora tour ended up having two bonuses! The saint of Cagliari was paying his annual visit to Nora while we were there AND the seagulls had just hatched out their chicks on the archaeological site!! Very highly recommend any tours offered with this company. Their restaurant suggestions are excellent, as well!
