Traveling in a small group, you'll have time for questions and a more personal visit with an expert English-speaking guide. Su Nuraxi dates back to the second millennium BC.

After Su Nuraxi, you'll visit Casa Zapata, a 16th-century manor with a surprising secret: an entire nuraghe beneath the building, visible through a glass walkway.

Fascinating tour with Alessandro

What a fascinating tour of Su Nuraxi Barumini with Alessandro. Much more than we expected. Alessandro was very knowledgeable about this site and having his guidance we were able to navigate the ruins and learn all the history while avoiding the crowds. We highly recommend touring Su Nuraxi Barumini with Alessandro. The mini rural dairy (Sinnos) was charming and delightful. The cherry on top. What a wonderful restoration of this site by Mr. Lai and his love of making cheese.

Interesting trip to see nuraxi

Visited Su Nuraxi di Barumini and the nearby Casa Zapata Museum. Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the information about the Bronze Age Nuragic Civilization was fascinating, as was the engineering involved in the tower construction.

Attention Cruise travelers- confirm point of entry

We were on a cruise that didn’t have this excursion as an option. We received misinformation from the cruise concierge and unfortunately Cagliari was not our port of entry and missed deadline to cancel. I text 5 hours prior, to inquire if we could possibly move meeting point. Graziella contacted another travel company in Oblia to help with our challenge. Unfortunately, we were not able to transfer payment. We understood and the end result is Graziella tried to help us with our dilemma and gave partial credit of our excursion. Truly customer focused and a problem solver. The other tour agency pivoted on short notice as well and unfortunately, we were not able to meet because of the time limit. The communication was outstanding and I would not hesitate to book another travel experience with this company!!

Fantastic trip!

I highly recommend this tour with this operator! It was so exciting to be in antic town, to be inside and to get so deep knowledge about the history of this place. We were in the museum also. I very appreciate our guide for time with me and answering all my questions.
