Very Interesting Tour! - What a cool experience! Highly recommend to anyone interested in history, archaeology, or just the sights in general. We didn't know what to expect from this tour, but it exceeded what we thought and is worth every penny. The guided tour is in both English and Italian, which makes it a bit longer but gives you time to absorb the information and look around at where you are, instead of just rushing through. We really appreciated the pace, the informative guide, and the small group size. It felt like a semi private tour and was the perfect duration. Also lots of opportunities to sit while listening, so our feet didn't get sore! Absolutely worth the experience, 10/10 and the tour operator is fantastic. Thank you for showing us these cool sites! :)

Tour of all places - The “Underground Cagliari” tour was one of the highlights of our Sardinia holiday! It was incredibly exciting to discover the secret passageways, ancient cisterns and hidden stories beneath the city. Our guide Roberto has made the tour very special – with his enthusiasm, in-depth knowledge and humour he has brought history to life. You can tell immediately that Roberto loves his work. He explains everything clearly and interestingly, answers each question patiently and manages to convey even complex historical topics in an easily understandable and entertaining manner. What was particularly beautiful was how he kept incorporating small anecdotes and local legends – so you really felt connected to the city.

Crypts and underground of Caglairi - Frederico was very knowledgeable and passionate about the points on the tour and his city. He was very attentive as well, as he guides our group of 19 through the streets of Cagliari from one spot tho the next. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
