Overview

This NewWaySardinia e-bike outing spends two and a half hours covering Cagliari's old quarters and then heading to the park area where flamingos gather, so it packs a city tour and a wildlife stop into a single ride. You meet at Via Sant'Eulalia 30 and work through the historic centre on electric bikes, with a local guide leading the way.

The ride takes in the Bastione di Saint Remy, the Castello district, the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the Elephant Tower and the flowered lanes of Villanova before the route continues to the park. There the guide covers the remains of the Old City of Salt, which shaped the local economy for centuries, and leads a nature trail where flamingos can be seen.

The electric assist matters here: one reviewer says the climbs up to the old town take little effort on these bikes, and the listing asks only for an average level of cycling ability. It suits travellers who want the main sights plus a few streets they would be unlikely to find alone. The tour runs in English and Italian.
