Cagliari is a municipality in Italy. Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia. This page groups guided experiences in and around the city by the kind of day you want: cooking and food in the city, the sea and the hills outside it, and the Sette Fratelli Regional Park in the mountains to the east. Each card says how long the experience lasts and in which languages it is run.
Four experiences stay in the city. Two are cooking classes where you shape the Sardinian pasta called culurgiones, one is a food and wine walk through the historic centre, and one is a ceramics workshop. Check each tour page for the exact languages and what is included. More tours and ideas for the city are on the page for Cagliari.
Three hours with a small group, in English or Italian. You shape the pasta with a local family, then sit down to a full shared lunch of the culurgiones, with appetizers and a glass of wine. All ingredients and an apron are included.
Three hours with a small group, in German, English, French or Italian. A local chef guides you through making culurgiones from scratch. You taste the pasta with a glass of local wine and take the recipe home. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included.

Sette Fratelli is a protected mountain area east of the city. The two tours below take place in the park, one as a full-day trek and one as a slow guided walk. Neither includes transport to the park, so plan how you will get there.
Seven and a half hours with a small group, in French or Italian: a loop of about ten kilometres on signed trails, led by a licensed hiking guide. Transport, food and drinks are not included, so bring a packed lunch and water.
Three and a half hours with a small group, in Italian only. A certified guide leads breathing exercises and a forest meditation, with herbal teas and a natural snack included. Transport to the park is not included.

It depends on the experience. Most are run in English and Italian.

Check the languages on each tour page before you book.
Usually not. Several experiences take place a few kilometres outside the city and say that transport is not included, and the hotel pickup and drop-off of the cooking classes, the food tour and the ceramics workshop is not included either. Check the included list on each tour page.
