About this tour

Your guide navigates you through centuries of Sardinian history before returning you to the port or town centre.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the port exit after disembarkation. The tour moves briskly between five major stops, mixing short walks with van journeys. Expect to spend roughly 20–30 minutes at each site: listening to historical context at the basilica, taking photos from Monte Urpinu's vantage point, driving past Poetto and the salt flats, then climbing into Castello for a cathedral visit. The pace suits mixed fitness levels. You'll finish with a choice: return to the port or explore the town on foot.
Good to know
Admission to the cathedral and other sites is not included. Wear comfortable shoes for walking through Castello's steep medieval lanes. The minivan holds 4–8 people maximum. If you're a cruise passenger, provide your ship name and boarding times at booking to ensure timely return.
