This tour is a fascinating way to learn Cagliari's history and uncover the secrets of ancient societies. It's full of surprises, too! Our guide Viviana was engaging and very knowledgeable, and made the tour exceptional. We took the tour with a snack at the end. Snack was generous and so tasty! This is a nice way to spend an afternoon in Cagliari.
