Our guide gave us great instructions about where and when to meet us and he was there to greet our group. We had an amazing tour of Cagliari. Our guide gave us so much history and had wonderful photographs to share. The 5 hours flew by as we visited one special site after another with plenty of time to take photos and ask questions. We had such a special day and recommend this tor and tour guide very highly.

Teresa_B, Apr 2026

There was some walking at the end of the tour through some of the old town. But it went down some steepish streets. Did not bother us but was difficult for some. Otherwise was beautiful tour and very informative. Fabio was very good!

Fabian shared lots of...

Tina_H, Apr 2026

Fabian shared lots of history of the area and we covered a lot of the city during our tour. The bus was comfortable and the walking portion was at a good pace. I don’t think many in our tour group realized how much walking we’d do or how steep some of the roads we would walk down, but that was the best way to get to see the old town portion of Cagliari

Tour of Cagliari

Glenn_K, Apr 2026

The walking surface was very steep in places, with many stairs to climb. There were no restrooms between the first stop and the end. The panoramic views and the drive past the salt flats were very good.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Glenn, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your comments and are sorry to hear that some parts of the walking route felt challenging, especially the steeper sections and stairs. While this is a walking tour, we completely understand that stairs and uneven surfaces can feel difficult and tiring. We also understand that the lack of restroom access between the first stop and the end of the tour may have been uncomfortable, and we are grateful that you brought this to our attention. We will review the itinerary to see whether it may be possible to include a toilet break. At the same time, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the panoramic views and the scenic drive past the salt flats. Your feedback is very valuable to us and helps us improve both our tour information and the overall guest experience. Thank you once again for traveling with us. Warm regards, Kinga Vexperio

Kay_G, Apr 2026

This tour has quite a bit of walking. The part uphill was quite taxing. There is also a lot of stopping and listening to too much history. Standing in one place in the sun was too much. This tour needs to keep moving.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback. Our tour combines bus travel with walking, and we always aim to keep a comfortable pace with regular stops to allow guests to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. As this is a guided experience, our guides share historical context along the way to enrich the visit, while also balancing it with time to explore and take in the surroundings. We understand that preferences can vary, especially when it comes to pace and time spent at each stop, and we appreciate you highlighting this. We will review how we present this in the tour description to make expectations as clear as possible for future guests. Thank you again for your comments.

Maureen_S, Nov 2025

The tour itself was good, the places we visited were nice. The walking tour portion was not suitable for some and they were basically dropped at a square and told to wait. The bus driver was horrible and seemed inexperienced, with several hard stops which made people almost fall.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Maureen, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the driver — this is truly unacceptable and not up to our standards. We have already investigated the matter and have stopped working with this driver immediately. The safety and comfort of our guests are always our top priority, and your report helps us ensure that incidents like this do not happen again. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are glad to hear you still enjoyed the tour itself. Kind regards, Natalia Vexperio

A no no

Elaine_T, Nov 2025

Lots of sitting on bus with no info from guide. We skipped two sites that were listed as stops. Didn’t go to the first bascillica as the itinerary stated.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Elaine, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations and that parts of the itinerary were missed. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. Please rest assured that we are investigating this matter with our local team to understand what happened and ensure it does not occur again. We greatly appreciate your input as it helps us improve, and we hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to show you the best of Cagliari as intended. Kind regards, Natalia Vexperio

We’re really happy to hear that you have found our Cagliari tour so well organized and that you got to see as much of Sardinia as you wanted during the tour.

It was excellent. Our tour guide Valentina was great. She took time to explain different neighborhoods to us. She gave us the history of Sardinia

It was our guide Fabio who made this trip. Such a knowledgeable and affable man. An excellent trip with varied locations which took place in a very comfortable small passenger vehicle
