The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel or cruise port and moves through Cagliari by air-conditioned minivan, stopping to walk at key points. You'll see the city's most important church, visit the National Museum of Archaeology, the most significant museum in Sardinia, and drive the road that leads to Poetto Beach. A viewpoint gives the lay of the city. Then you move to the amphitheater, the old royal palace, and Molentargius Regional Park, where the salt lagoons draw flamingos and other birds. The tour ends at another major church in the city center.

Walking sections are moderate and spread across the stops rather than continuous. Your guide is a professional who speaks your language and knows the history: Cagliari was founded by the Phoenicians 3,000 years ago, and the guide will explain what you're looking at. If the market is open when you pass, you'll taste local food. Dress is smart casual. The minivan is wheelchair accessible, and public transit options are nearby if you need them.

Cruise passengers need to provide ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time at booking so the return aligns with your departure. The tour works for anyone with moderate fitness. Children must be with an adult. A maximum of eight people travel together, so the group stays small enough to move through the museum and stops without crowds.
