Wonderful tour! Great way to start a visit to Cagliari. Our tour guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable and provided an interesting view of the city, history, and its culture. Thank you!

Great guide and our luck we were the only ones on the tour so it was private. Great to understand and English was perfect we also got great recommendations after the 2 hour tour. Well worth it.

Toured the Castello district. Walked through lovely medieval back streets, ending on top of the hill, with good views. Saw, for example, the Elephant's Tower, the Cathedral, the Bastion of St. Remy, the remains of the old city walls, etc. Our guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable, and there were lots of interesting stories about the old city.

Renaldo was excellent guide. Very informative, answered all questions. He was very proud of his city and loved sharing the history.

Fabulous tour. We really got a feel for the town and the different districts. Cagliari is all up hill but the tour was extremely well paced with perfect stopping points along the way with opportunities for coffee, wine and cheese tasting and a quick history lesson.

Only two of us on the tour and our guide was really informative. Recommended a couple of restaurants both of which were excellent

We booked this tour via trip advisor, it was operated through Viator. The tour operator was Arasole day tours We were on a cruise ship, and so needed the meeting point to be fairly close to the cruise terminal. The pick up point was near the top of the main street, and an easy walk from the cruise terminal. Just head up the main street, see he large statue in the middle and your there, outside the cafe Largo Felice There were only 5 of us in the group and the tour guide spoke in both English and Italian. She was very well informed and pleasant young lady who took time to answer any questions we had. The tour itself was an easy walk around the centre of the city, a bit hilly but nothing too much. The tour ended in a different place, but its very easy to find your bearings, the tour guide gave us excellent advice. I would highly recommend this walking tour if you are to visit Cagliari

Such an amazing tour and a wonderful tour guide. Although I was the only English speaker, but she was still able to give information in Spanish (for the rest of the tour) and English. Very kind and welcoming. And the views of the city are fantastic. Thank you!

We had a lovely time with Rafaella, who showed us the city. She was patient with all our questions and even added some information to our earlier visit of Nuraghe Su Nuraxi. It felt like we were on a stroll with a friend.
