A Memorable Underground Journey and Wonderful Tour Guide - My wife and I had accidentally booked this tour for the wrong date, but Valentina, our guide, was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to join the group and pay just before the 16:00 tour began. Valentina was an outstanding guide. She was articulate, knowledgeable, and professional. It was a pleasure to explore the fascinating underground sites in Cagliari with a guide who is passionate and well-informed. We visited three main underground sites, which offered a captivating glimpse into the city's hidden history. It also provided a welcome relief from the intense July sun. Valentina also thoughtfully provided opportunities to stop for refreshments along the way, which was very much appreciated. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cagliari. Tante grazie to Valentina and the team!

Fascinating, Atmospheric, and Incredibly Well-Guided - The Underground Cagliari tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. It offers a completely different perspective of the city : mysterious, rich in history, and full of surprises you’d never see from above ground. Our guide was fantastic: passionate, knowledgeable, and clearly in love with Cagliari’s hidden stories. From ancient cisterns to wartime shelters, every space had a powerful story behind it, and the way it was explained made it all come alive. The tour was informative without ever feeling dry, and engaging without being overly dramatic, just the right balance. It’s a must-do for anyone visiting the city who wants to go beyond the usual tourist spots and get a real sense of Cagliari’s deep, layered past. Absolutely recommended!

An Unmissable Tour Beneath the Surface of Cagliari - This underground tour was an incredible experience and gave us a whole new appreciation for Cagliari. Walking through centuries-old tunnels, cisterns, and bomb shelters felt like stepping back in time, all hidden right beneath the city’s streets. Our guide was exceptional, engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the history of this place. They shared fascinating stories and facts that brought everything to life without ever feeling like a lecture. Every stop on the tour had real depth, both historically and emotionally. If you’re in Cagliari, don’t miss this tour. It’s eye-opening, unique, and a truly memorable way to connect with the soul of the city. Highly recommended!!

Be sure to bring lots of water. 50% of the tour is not underground. - The tour is 50% underground, 50% above ground. Our guide was knowledge about about the history, which was very interesting. However, bring lots of water. There is nowhere along the way to fill bottles. We were told by our guide at the start of the tour that there would be spots along the way but I asked her three times along the way and she just said there was nowhere near. In 38 degree weather, and a two hour walk, there needs to be a priority for the safety of the participants. We felt quite ill by the end.
