Stroll Alghero’s ancient city with a local guide, tracing pirates, kingdoms, and Catalan roots on a 1-hour walk.
“Abbiamo fatto il tour io e mio marito con la guida Raffaele tutta per noi. La guida è molto preparata e ci ha raccontato la sua alghero da vari punti di vista (storico, artistico, economico..). La visita quindi è risultat molto interessante ( durata quasi 2 ore, che sono volate). Consigliata!!!”
Walk Alghero’s Aragonese old town, then taste Sardinian wines with local meats and cheese in a cellar on a 3-hour guided tour.

“Enjoyed the Fiat and the enthusiastic guide. That was alot of fun!”
30-min Olbia tuk-tuk tour to San Simplicio, San Paolo dome, and Fausto Noce Park, with a 6-language audio guide.
“The guide played 4 audio clips and did not speak to us but was rather on her phone the ENTIRE trip. She did not communicate with us. Period. I requested an English guide. Not English audio. I expected much more given the cost. HUGE waste of money. Would highly NOT recommend.”
Small-group Cagliari tour blends minivan panoramas with a guided walk through Castello, plus flamingos at Molentargius Park.
“Perfecto , hay q valorar el esfuerzo de nuestro guía Fabio, para hacer las explicaciones del tour en castellano e inglés. Interesante la historia clásica y moderna de la ciudad que Fabio nos contò. Anécdotas y curiosidades de Cagliari también merecen una mención especial. Siento debilidad por los flamencos , y los vimos muy cerca. Os recomiendo el tour”
Walk Cagliari’s Castello with a local guide, see pink-flamingo views, small group pacing, and an optional food stop for $81.
“A pretty thorough introduction of Cagliari, history and present day city life. A well versed guide, he is even linguist, musician and actor and seemed to know a lot of people.”
Private Mercedes transfer between Cagliari Airport and the city, for up to 7 people. Pickup option, mobile ticket, bilingual drivers.
“Our Viator ride texted us that they would be late for our 0500 pickup. When it was time to leave our room we checked out of hotel. A driver came in the door who spoke very little English, said our name. I verified with the hotel clerk that this was the airport transfer. We had paid ahead and when we got to airport, the driver asked for payment. I showed him the voucher. He called the hotel and then we talked with hotel clerk who admitted it was his mistake. So we never took the Viator transfer but there is not a n/a (not applicable) choice on your survey.”
Cagliari in 4 hours: Castello Quarter, Bonaria, Poetto and flamingos on a small-group tour with mostly easy car hops.

Private 4-hour Cagliari shore tour with hop-on hop-off freedom, market and beach stops, plus Castello and Santa Cecilia with a guide.
