Additional Information

Exploring the subterranean wonders of Cagliari is a unique and exciting experience. Beneath the veneer of the modern city lies a hidden universe of caverns, crypts, and tunnels.

We’ll embark on a walk across the historical districts of Stampace and Marina, where we will discover the Tunnel–Shelter of the Salesian School. This long private passage served as a refuge for students during World War II air raids. Nowadays, the tunnel flaunts an aura of mysticism with its red-brick arches lit by gentle candlelight.
Our adventure will further lead us to the awe-inspiring crypt of Saint Restituta, abundant with captivating tales. The journey will conclude at the Archaelogical Area of Saint Eulalia, home to remarkable subterranean relics.

Please note, the tour involves limited outdoor walking.

Based on the operational hours of the sites, alterations in the route may occasionally be required, leading to visits of other underground locations.

Fantastic tour - This was a fantastic tour. Fabio (I think that was his name) who is a qualified historian and very experience historian was wonderful. We did a second tour with this guide after this one which was a walking tour around Cagliari. That was also excellent. He was so knowledgeable and communicated so well. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone who is in Cagliari as a tourist.

Easygoing - Silvia was our guide, she was very friendly and knowledgable. The tour itself is very unique and interesting. My 7 year old was very engaged with the guide and she did a good job at getting everyone involved in the tour. For a walking tour it was the right amount of walking, not too much and too little. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the city who has some interest in history.

You can do it… - The first part of the tour in the protective tunnels was quite interesting and informative. The other two locations (Cripta di Santa Restituta and the archaeological museum) were less interesting for us. Our tour guide Silvia was helpful and very nice!

It wasn’t great - To be honest for me the tour wasn’t worth its money, we were guided into 3 different tunnels, where we got some information first in Italian and then in English. So we had to listen to the guide speak in two languages because there were Italian people in our group. When arriving we had to pay 5€ per person extra, so we could enter the caves. It was written on the site, but I believe not really obvious, cause I didn’t see it. Yeah so, I don’t think the price ist justified.
