      It’s not just rocks! Hire a guide and take the virtual reality tour too ! Well worth it!
      I toured the sight with three friends, guided by Andrea, an excellent guide. He provided an historical timeline that put the features and location of these ruins into a digestible context. We were fortunate to be treated to the virtual reality experience with which one “sees” the ruins as they were ages ago; vibrant, colorful and thrilling!! Highly recommended way to fully appreciate this precious archeological treasure!

      Very enjoyable and informative but would have liked to have gone into the Cathedral
      We took the evening walking tour (because the earlier one was not available on the day we needed). We waited at the right spot, in front of the little café (Cagliari 1920), but didn’t see the guide. Finally, at the tour start time, I got a call on my phone asking if we were still coming, to which I replied we are already here. As I circled around while talking on my phone I saw a lady also talking on her phone and looking around and I realized that she is the guide. It would have been helpful to have some distinguishing shirt or umbrella, etc. I had been looking for a crowd of people, but it was only the guide and two other visitors. Luckily, she had called me. Note: Facing the café, the guide was waiting over to the far right and not in front of the café as the instructions indicated. The guide was great, very friendly and very informative. She made the tour very enjoyable. The main disappointment is that the agenda states that time will be available to look in Cattedrale Di Santa Cecilia (30 minutes). I was mostly looking forward to this visit. (Thankfully I had gone the day before, but it was just a quick run through since I had expected to be going back on this tour.) But unfortunately, when we reached the Cathedral, a Mass had started, and the guide said we were not allowed in. I would have thought the tour company would know when the Masses are and perhaps move us along a little faster (from Bastion Saint Remy) to get there in time. Either that, or the agenda should state that visiting inside the Cathedral is not possible during the evening tours. But that aside, the tour was still great, and I would recommend it. It is always nice to hear the history and background story of what you are looking at.

      Relaxed and informative tour
      Rafaela is an extremely accommodating and informative guide. She carefully explained the history of the Castello area and answered our many questions about other aspects of life in Sardinia. We were very lucky to have a private tour and we enjoyed her company and sense of humour. As a Greek, Latin and Italian scholar she is well equipped for this role. We wish we had met her before we booked our other trips.

      Raffa was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable. Great conversationalist too! Great seeing the countryside! The lunch spot she suggested was truly a unique experience.

      Very enjoyable tour, got to see the remarkably preserved ruins from Punic and Roman times, then a tour of Cagliari at sunset. Thanks Marco (guide) and Alessandro (driver)!

      Lots of walking. Full of history
      Raffa the guide was very personable. Great communication before the tour. She spoke many languages and made everyone feel welcome. Her knowledge of history was impressive and the tour stopped often and gave us a great start to our Sardinian stay. She also recommended local shops and restaurants and was so enthusiastic. Would recommend

      Fascinating tour with an excellent guide
      As it was not possible to visit Nora on that day, rather than cancel, Raffaela took us instead to Su Nuraxi. It's a fascinating place within easy reach of Cagliari and Raffaela is an excellent guide, full of enthusiasm for her subject. I look forward to doing the Nora tour on my next visit.

      Great walking tour
      Great walking tour with Marco who gave us lots of information whilst walking the interesting historical centre of Cagliari . Marco also took us to the best viewpoints to appreciate the wonderful views over Caligari. After a refreshment break at the end of the guided tour Marco, suggested we walk independently through the Villanova district, which we very much enjoyed. Highly recommended tour with Marco.

      Great guide and tour
      Great guide and our luck we were the only ones on the tour so it was private. Great to understand and English was perfect we also got great recommendations after the 2 hour tour. Well worth it.

      Roman excavations at Nora
      We walked here from our hotel but there are tours from various locations. It's well worth a visit, and I would recommend at least buying an audio guide, or joining a guided tour. There are signs around but as it's an active site with excavation still happening these signs move around or are temporarily missing. You need decent shoes.

      So much history in a beautiful location.
      Excellent small group tour with a very informative guide. The Nora site is large with lots to see in a beautiful location. The tour was relaxed and the knowledgable guide made it a wonderful experience.

      Amazing tour, really enjoyed it
      Raffaela was a great guide, switching between Italian and English. She knew a lot about the history, provided visual aids and spoke competently about the National Park we visited too.

    We had a wonderful Castello walking tour in Cagliari and our guide Raffaela was amazing, a true walking encyclopedia of knowledge. Topped off with a beautiful religious procession listening to traditional music instruments (sound resembling bagpipes) and an awesome sunset, we would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone visiting Cagliari. Thank you Raffaela for sharing your love for the city and its heritage.
