What people are saying about Metropolitan City of Cagliari, Sardinia

Highly informative and friendly experience. Both Nora and Pula are “must see” places. Our guide (Franco) was excellent, spoke great English, was polite and happy to stop and allow us to take photo etc. Franco helped navigate us around large groups of visitors to get the best out of the day and even took us to a site in Cagliari we hadn’t seen before as an “extra”. Highly recommend this trip.

La mejor experiencia que pudimos escoger en la isla. Todo el equipo de profesionales estuvo volcado en hacérnoslo pasar lo mejor posible. El desplazamiento en furgoneta, los quads y el recorrido co éstos, llegando a playas recónditas, ajenos a las aglomeraciones del mes de agosto, etc. Sin duda, ha sido una gran experiencia. Recomendable 100/100‼️

Franco was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable of the area. He went above and beyond to assist us with questions about the area even after our tour. Very conscientious of our time. Did not have us wait in long lines but knew how to take advantage of the site to use our time wisely. Highly recommend.

The travel was very well organised, everything was on time, the guide Valerya wa really nice and competent- tells us a lot of very interesting facts about Sardinian history and attractions. Really recommend this bike tour.

Very pleasant bike ride with Valentina (our guide).
