Itinerary
- P.za Yenne, 09124 Cagliari CA, ItalyPiazza Yenne round about
- 1The excursion begins at Piazza Yenne round about at 9:00, Cagliari, no hotel pick ups. You will travel in a comfortable minivan with air condition to Barumini complex. About 3,500 years ago, the ancient people built a Nuraghe and a small village made of huts on the hill of Barumini. The Nuraghi are outstanding monuments halfway between the defensive and civil building, and they survived to this day testifying an ancient culture linked to the megalithic civilizations of the Mediterranean area. The Nuragic civilization played an important role in the spread of Mycenaean culture and of the Phoenician culture later, although some of its features remain a mystery, almost unintelligible, perhaps because they are foreign to the classical Greek culture. The most famous piece of the complex is “Su Nuraxi”: the most complete and best preserved example of Nuraghe and since 1997, it registered to the Unesco World Heritage List. You will visit also Casa Zapata Museum which is open from 2006. The museum is organized into three sections: archaeological, historical and ethnographic. The peculiarity of “Casa Zapata” is the presence of a seventeenth-century building that lies on the ruins of a Nuragic complex called “Nuraxi e Cresia “ As a result of the excavation works at “Su Nuraxi”, carried out in the 50s by professor Giovanni Lilliu, there was an increasing need and desire to create a place that could keep all the discovered materials, and “Casa Zapata” has a role in keeping, promoting and enhancing these assets. Admission tickets and guide are included in the excursion price. Meals are not included.

- Elily_K0 contributionsNature & FoodAn excellent adventure during the low season! The perfect opportunity to connect with nature, history, and enjoy local food cooked outdoors. A wonderful experience to meet new people and make lasting memoriesWritten December 2, 2024
- Pauline B0 contributionsCruise, sun, sand, sea!A wonderful days cruise departing from Baia Sardinia to spiaggi via La Maddalena. It included lunch on board. The beaches and the water were stunning!Written July 22, 2023
- spottypotts0 contributionsA MUST DO TRIPFABULOUS CRUISE this is a fabulous 8 hour cruise with 2 swim and beach stops and an hours stroll around Maddellana , the boat was quite crowded , probably 100 people but it’s a large boat and not subject to too much movement , we were concerned about the swell on smaller boatsWritten September 14, 2022
- Irene H0 contributionsBest choice to experience CagliariWe enjoyed every minute of this excellent tour. The perfect way to see the sights of Cagliari's hilly streets and also include the flamingos and the castle of San Michele. The driver was prompt, friendly, informative and guided us safely through the city. Even though it was not high flamingo season, we did see quite a few and enjoyed seeing the reserved area created for the flamingos. The best part of the morning was driving down ancient tiny streets that were just wide enough for a tuk tuk but not a car. We would not have had this experience without doing the tuk tuk and would highly recommend this tour.Written November 15, 2019
- john s0 contributionsCagliari Gulf SailWe had a great time with our fabulous sail around the Gulf of Cagliari. Leaving from the Port on a great Sailboat, we didn't realize how beautiful the Gulf was until we get away from the port and sailed around Cagliari.Written November 13, 2019
- Barrie E0 contributionsGreat funWe really enjoyed our tut tut tour of Cagliari. It was informative and FUN. Our driver guide took us to places cars can’t go and we would never have been able to find and walk to without our tut tut.Written November 6, 2019
- Mark D0 contributionsAmazing Su Nuraxi VisitVisited Su Nuraxi in Barumini and had an amazing tour, our guide so brought to life the bronze age settlment or Nuraghe and how life must have looked. If you want to experience authentic Sardinian history, then this is a must do tripWritten November 4, 2019
- 272anneh0 contributionsTuk Tuk rideThis trip around Cagliari was very good with Ape Calessino Quattro Mori Good fun and lots of information given Would highly recommend if you want to see the city with some fun as well Very easy to book through Tripadvisor to Anne and PeterWritten October 9, 2019
- joyciebaby70 contributionsTuk Tuk Tour in Cagliari a mustOn trip Advisors recommendation we booked a tuk tuk tour with Apecalessino Quattro Mori. We were picked up on time by our driver Mauro Puddu, who was very knowledgeable on the history of Cagliari and had endless patience with both the traffic and ourselves. I would highly recommend both this company and the driver Mauro.Written September 29, 2019
- lumariee0 contributionsAmazing Cruise and amazing People !!We took this trip with my sisters and it was amazing. The trip is handled by an Italian couple which are so nice and I recommend 100%. They offred us cold drinks (Fanta, coca, beer) after a nice swim in the water; and the views are amazing. The trip is really PERFECTWritten August 8, 2019
- Broniuz0 contributionsPlace was beautiful, but....The ticket (12€) included the visit of three different places: Su Nuraxi, Centre Giovanni Liliu and Casa Zapata museum. The location itself (Su Nuraxi) was interesting to see, but the guide did not offer much information and since there were ~25 people in the tour, most of us couldn't even hear him. The other two locations were boring. Centre Giovanni Liliu had exhibitions that had no information offered in english and Casa Zapata Museum only had a few pots to show. There were pictures of gourgeous boat statuettes, but they were not a part of the exhibition. The tickets also included a 7€ tourist lunch which was just a cash grab. It said that we had 4 pizza options, but we were given no choice. Instead, we were presented with a small, dry Margharita, a drink of our choice and a shot of espresso (also no option to change coffee type). In short, the beautiful location was turned into a simple tourist trap.Written July 28, 2019
- duka19660 contributionsBoat Trip without spending a fortuneWe took the boat trip a smaller vessel but I don't mind it because my family enjoys sailing and "feeling the sea". We enjoyed the sympathy of the captain and the great view to the city from the sea. The day was hot so we also jumped in the water at the bathing stop. In my opinion half day is enough if you want to relax at the sea.Written July 4, 2019
- duka19660 contributionsA Unique MonumentThere are not many historic sites that permit you to climb inside and see where the ancient Sardinians lived. We have read about the nuragic civilisation but getting inside their "home" and hearing about the history of the place from the guide was an amazing experience. Visiting Casa Zapata was also added value. If you happen to be in the area don't miss it.Written July 4, 2019
- duka19660 contributionsGreat tour!We enjoyed the excursion in Cagliari very much! It's impossible to walk or take a car to the places tuk tuk took us. Audio guide was useful but sometimes we just relaxed and enjoyed the view. The driver was very friendly and I recommend this tour if you have limited time or even if you stay more days in the area.Written July 4, 2019
- JCA3010 contributionsOnly practical way to see the sights unless you are very fit and have plenty of time.Bone jarring ride in noisy TukTuk. Difficult to hear commentary. Old town streets interesting. Don't think of driving your own car.Written June 22, 2019

Nuragic village UNESCO heritage. The complete synthesis of the 8000 Sardinian nuraghe. What else to add. 15 euros the ticket. Very well prepared guides. Parking not too big. Casa Zapata surprising the find. Having a nuraghe under/inside the house is priceless

Esperienza bellissima. La nostra guida, Manuela, era preparatissima. Si è dedicata a noi con bravura e competenza. Le cose che ci ha raccontato sono state utili anche per le visite successive (ad esempio pozzo di Santa Cristina, museo archeologico di Cabras...). Un bel ricordo, grazie alla guida.

Dopo aver visitato il nuraghe, compreso nel biglietto si può visitare il museo a Barrumini. Anche il museo è una perla, tenuto bene. Fai un tuffo nel passato. Complimenti anche al museo.
