We had a great tour of Cagliari with Chiara, she was a super knowledgeable guide and she took us through the history of the city and landmarks. Time flew by. Cherry on top, she’s great with children (ours 10 and 7), always telling stories during the tour to keep them entertained and captivated. In my daughter’s own words “she has a nice voice and is kind and tells good stories”. Fantastic tour and kid friendly!

Cagliari was my last stop in Sardinia and it was the best. Francesca showed me all its highlights within one day. She even went out of her way to take me to local hangouts that most people don't know about. My pictures turned out beautiful, especially the sunset ones. I highly recommend her.

We had a great morning exploring the medieval districts of Cagliari with Walter. Walter was a great guide, giving an insightful tour and history of his city. Walter took us to some great locations that we would never have found on our own, with the guidebooks and local information on Cagliari not really highlighting many of the places that we saw with Walter. We loved how Walter was very kind and helpful. He also gave us a fab lunch recommendation. Thanks Walter for an ace morning of exploring. Off the beaten track in Cagliari

Chiara truly enjoys her heritage and wants to pass it to others. We enjoyed her energy and insight about Sardinia and Cagliari. We wanted to go off the path a bit and she accommodated us. We would highly recommend her to others to learn about the area. We had a wonderful experience. Lots of steps !Chiara rocks!

Very friendly and good knowledge of the city. Would have been nice to see a little more local stories, bars etc. We did the three hours and asked to do it in 2,5. We were finished in 2, so no need to do a 3 hour tour. Friendly, local and a little superficial

Our booking was very last minute but we were worked into the schedule thanks to Walter’s flexibility. He was extremely knowledgeable! He took the time to explain everything, was very easy to follow. We toured a lot, took breaks and were not rushed. He answered all questions and was very patient with our 9 yo son. He also gave us a fantastic restaurant recommendation. Thank you for sharing your majestic city and heritage with us! Highly Recommend

Chiara is charming, fun, genuine and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour with her and it was a great introduction to Cagliari. We loved her energy and getting to know her and learn about her childhood in the city, while also learning about the history and the hidden gems of Cagliari.

While travelling solo, booked the 10 tastings tour on the first day, with Riccardo. Best decision, as Riccardo is very knowledgeable about his home town! City history, best places to go to for food icecream and drinks, nice giftshops. Following days I revisited a few ofnthe restaurants because the food was so delicious. All in all a perfect 3hr stroll, thanks to the well travelled guide Riccardo ! Complimenti!Super tour, super guide

Ricardo did an excellent job of showing us Cagliari’s crypts and cisterns and a number of churches, the castle and scenic viewpoints and neighborhoods. Very personable and knowledgeable. Cagliari Underground

I was traveling solo, so this was a great way to see the city and try local favorites. Riccardo went above and beyond to make sure I was enjoying myself and planned out stops by what I enjoy. He even introduced me to a cheese made me cry because it “WAS THAT GOOD”! Sorry about that Riccardo. 😅 If you’re thinking about booking this tour, just do it. You won’t regret it. He’s well traveled, personable, and knows his town very well. Best if you can do first day in town, so you know the area and can follow his other recommendationsLoved the food tour with Riccardo!

Riccardo took us to local delicacies and a great overview of their culture. Especially enjoyed the cookie shop, seafood stop and wine and appetizers at the last place. The meeting point closer to the cruise ship would have been better as we decided to walk the half hour to meet up… a winding route uphill. An enjiyable tour in Cagliari

We joined Riccardo for a private tour of Cagliari while in port from a cruise ship. We are not cruise ship people and prefer to wander and learn the history and culture where we stay. Riccardo gave us enough information about local churches and crypts and general history that we felt we’d stayed in Cagliari for more than an afternoon. He is wonderful, please do not miss an opportunity to spend a couple hours with him. Do not miss an afternoon with Riccardo!

Riccardo was our PHENOMENAL guide in Sardina, Italy. He went above and beyond an excursion, to show us this beautiful city. It was history filled and extremely informative. He absolutely made the day! I would book again without hesitation Beyond Expectations in Sardina!

The afternoon was very nice. Riccardo has a lot of knowledge of Sardinië. We went on a Sunday at 17:00 so a lot was closed but he showed us still a lot of good things. Price value rating has nothing to do with riccardo. Riccardo was a super nice guy

This was our first time in Cagliari and we really enjoyed it. We had some food, some good talk and some history of the town. One regret - out tour was on a Sunday morning. That was the only day we could do it. But the city market was closed and one or two other regular stops were also closed. Ricardo took us to some very nice places, but I would have loved to see the market with him . I guess we will do that the next time!!Cagliari food tour

We spent an amazing afternoon and evening with Riccardo learning about the food, culture and history of Sardegna. Riccardo organized the tour very well and took us to beautiful places we would have never found otherwise. Dietary requirements were taken into consideration, at the same time we tried exciting new dishes. We got to learn a lot about the city of Cagliary and Riccardo took the time to answer all our questions. We ended the evening with prosecco and cake to celebrate my daughters 30th birthday and with a new friend. Thank you Riccardo, for making this day so special. Highly recommended!Amazing tour - definitely recommend!
