If you're looking for the real Sardinia, then the Barbagia region is a good place to start. Think age-old traditions, ancient family-feuds and fantastic food on this full day tour. You'll visit Nuoro museum, Orgosolo town, and have an authentic farmhouse lunch with the local shepherds.

A trip through the Barbagia region is like stepping back in time. And the Nuoro ethnographic museum tells the story of Sardinia through exhibits of traditional festival costumes. Each village has its own design, testament to a history of bitter regional rivalry.

Once a lawless bandit country, Orgosolo is more famed for its artsy murals than murders now. Uncover the warts-and-all history depicted in these vibrant works with a guided tour of the town and free time to explore. One thing all Sardinian's share, is a love of good food. So alongside working shepherds, you'll dine on local, organic produce for a tasty end to the trip.
