A stroll through the district of Castello , a fortified citadel from the 13th century, which has preserved its central role in the life of the city over the centuries. Here we will pass by the palaces of the aristocratic families who made its history, we will see its towers and ramparts and we will visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria with its hidden treasure: the Martyrs' Crypt. The tour is ideal for those travelers who stay a few hours in the city and want to make the most of their time to learn about the history of the place and see the most fascinating corners, as well as for those travelers who stay longer and want to have a first approach to the city and its main attractions! Our guide will tell you in a friendly and catchy way the curiosities and oddities of the fortress and of the populations that have dominated it over the centuries, while you can enjoy wonderful views over the different areas of the city and the port.
An internal visit to the cathedral, a jewel of the Baroque in the city, and in particular to its crypt, where you can discover the history of the beautiful Sanctuary of the Martyrs.

The guide, Fabio, is a very nice person, however his English was insufficient for being a tour guide. He wasn’t clear on the details of the history and this was clear to us as we asked questions and he didn’t know. We overheard other guides with superior language skills and mentioning details about places we passed without a word. This tour was not good value and we were quite disappointed.
Renato gave a very interesting and enthralling tour. Which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Such a great thing to do at the start of our holiday as we understood so much more of the history of Sardinia and Cagliari in particular. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone!

I love the mixed cultural history and architecture of Cagliari. And Valentina was the perfect guide. Very poetic and informative. Thank you
Thank you, Serena. It’s great to know that Cagliari’s mix of cultures and architectural layers resonated with you. Valentina has a special way of bringing the city to life, and we’re glad her approach matched what you were looking for. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again on another visit to Sardinia.
Renato is an Excellent tour guide. On time and very helpful. We were pleasantly surprised from the beautiful city and our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city being a local and also tied their history to the rest of the continent. We learned a lot of history and architectural design. Highly recommend.
Renato's tour was excellent. We learnt so much about the history and local culture of Cagliari. We were in a small group of around 10 people which meant lots of time to chat and ask questions. Although we walked to the highest viewpoints the walking was not difficult. Renato is a local to Cagliari but his English is excellent. Highly recommended!
Elizabeth is an extraordinary guide. She made us discover and love Cagliari. She was very generous with her time and even sent us reading choices.

C’est un plaisir de savoir que cette visite vous a fait apprécier encore davantage la ville. Nous serons heureux de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’une prochaine découverte en Sardaigne.
