    • Meet the tour guide and visit the National Archaeological Museum in Cagliari. Inside the museum, we begin by explaining the origins of Sardinia by showing archaeological artifacts from prehistoric and protohistoric times up to the Roman era; once we finish explaining the historical events through viewing the archaeological artifacts, we proceed with viewing the magnificent Giants of Monti Prama, plus eventually any other notable artifacts inside the museum.
    • Proceed to the Necropolis of Tuvixeddu; you will see from the outside the tombs excavated. Some of them will be explained in detail, in the Carthaginian period in the Tuvixeddu hill and, at the same time explain, the history of the necropolis itself from the Punic to the Roman period.
    • Move ahead to arrive at Cagliari's Roman Amphitheatre. You will see the structure from the outside, and its features will be explained along with the history of the gladiatorial spectacles that were held inside. 
    • End the visit with a little program: a walk through some of Cagliari's commercial streets, which ends with a visit to one of the most important and beautiful monuments of Cagliari: The Bastion of Saint Remy. It can end either with simple photographs of its front or by climbing the monumental staircase followed by observing the beautiful panoramic view that the bastion itself offers.
