Informative and enjoyable tour - We had an enjoyable and informative tour. Our guide Valentina was excellent at explaining the history of Cagliari and the architectural features of the Castello district. She answered a range of questions on culture, language, travel etc from the group. The walking was at a relaxed pace on a hot day. Although we booked a tour in English, the tour was in both English and Italian. We didn’t mind as it felt more authentic in a way and I used the time to consult AI on google for additional details while Valentina spoke Italian. The information provided by Tripadvisor was confusing though and needs to be made more specific. When I clicked Meeting Point on the booking confirmation, two meeting points were listed. We went to the first one and it took us a while to work out that it was for the subterranean tour. We eventually got pointed the direction to the right (second) meeting point. Valentina did helpfully call when we were late. So I would highly recommended the tour to those who don’t have a lot of time to explore on their own but be aware that the right meeting point is Largo Carlo Felice.
