Visited Su Nuraxi di Barumini and the nearby Casa Zapata Museum. Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the information about the Bronze Age Nuragic Civilization was fascinating, as was the engineering involved in the tower construction.

Thank you so much Janice, I'm happy when I meet people like you, so interested in our archaeology and culture

No idea what this Nuraghi site would be or would contain....So it was a pleasant surprise and an eye opener. Should get to be known better outside of Sardinia ! And then, there were a few extra's in the tour. A very rewarding experience.

Everything about this tour was excellent. The Nuraghe Su Barumi site is far more extensive than I expected and the tour takes you down into the big tower. There are a few stone steps.
My guide Paola was wonderful. She is extremely knowledgeable about the site but also very friendly and easy to talk to. She answered all my questions about the site and about Sardinia in general. I highly recommend her tour.

Paola was fantastic! We could not have been happier. She was friendly, easy-going, and full of information. Su Nuraxi was, of course, the highlight of the day and it was so much more than we had expected. So interesting, beautiful, and impressive and Paola made it come to life. Having a private tour with Paola was absolutely the right choice. We learned so much about Sardinia along the way and it was like a conversation with a friend. She took great care of us and made the day a highlight of our time in Sardinia. Grazie Mille! You should absolutely take this tour.

Tim and Dave, thanks so much for your feedback. I'm so happy you enjoy this tour and my country- Looking forward to see you back to Sardinia. Paola

The guide made this trip a wonderful experience. She has a thorough knowledge of the Barumini history. She was very generous with her time and made a special trip to a place where I was able to but a t-shirt with the Sardinian flag! We also made a side trip to a town with dozens of wall murals. It was a great day.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thanks a lot Salvatore, I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour
Frances_G, Nov 2022
Nuragic art and architecture are amazing, and a visit to at least one nuraghe while in Sardinia is not to be missed. Let Paola be your guide! She's friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and kind. I had a wonderful morning learning about the island with her, and discovering the marvels of the Sardinian Bronze Age. Do not hesitate to book a tour with Paola! You will learn and have fun!
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thanks a lot Frances, it was a pleasure to guide you in the Bronze Age culture
Stephanie_V, Oct 2022
This was a wonderful half day trip. Paola is very knowledgeable and pleasant guide, who not only taught us about the nuraghe, a fascinating part of Sardinian history, but also gave us a nice breakdown of Sardinian history, its culture, language and people. We also got to see a number of murals, beautiful beaches and spectacular views of Cagliari and around.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thanks a lot Stephanie, it was a pleasure to work with you, as you were so interested in everything
