The most interesting historical tour we have been to. Our guide - Iletta (apologies if the name is not written correctly) presented the story of the sites in the most interesting way. I recommend this tour to everyone who would like to dive deep into the past of this beautiful place. Thank you!

Description
With a walk between the historic districts of Stampace and Marina, we will see the Tunnel–Shelter of the Salesian School, a 120 mt long private tunnel used during World War II as a shelter for the school's students from the bombings. Today, the tunnel almost looks like a mystic place with its red-bricked arcades, enlightened by soft candlelight. We will continue the tour to explore the magnificent crypt of Saint Restituta, with its fascinating stories, and we will finish with a visit to the Archeological Area of Saint Eulalia to discover its amazing underground ruins. The tour involves a short walk from site to site outside. Accordingly to the opening times of the sites, there might be alternative underground sites to visit. The tour is always done in dual languages with a guide who speaks English and Italian.

Incredible tour and very knowledgeable Ilenia was very helpful. Thank you for this great experience.
A very educational, comprehensive, and historical tour through the underground tunnel systems. Also included were the interesting visits to the Cripta di Restituta and the excavations of the Museu sistema museale Sant‘ Eulatia. Our tour guide also explained things to us in both English and Italian. In conclusion, a very interesting and highly recommended tour.
Well worth doing. Great guide. Very informative and educational. The tour includes main sites of the city, including archeology, nature, art and spirituality.
Tour guide was phenomenal, she spoke very good English and kept track of everyone really well. This is definitely worth it if you’re interested in bits of history about Cagliari. It’s also about 10 degrees cooler underground.
Beautiful experience, immersive and well organized. The very interesting history of these hidden places was excellently explained by our guide Ilenia. Recommended tour!
2 small insignificant so-called caves 🙈 total waste of money and cannot be recommended in any way. The guide dog is exceptionally skilled.
A very beautiful and interesting tour. Our guide Francesca was excellent in her explanations.
Great tour. Something different & interesting. Lovely tour guide. Gave us a good recommendation for lunch.
We did the tour early in the morning, and it was a nice way to start our first day here. The first stop has a nice ambiance with all the candles, the 2nd and 3rd are more museum style. The guide was fluent in English and explained everything nicely.
