We had so much fun on this wine tour, recommended to us by a work colleague from Cagliari. Our guide Franco spoke excellent English, collected us from our hotel and showed us a great time. This really is a beautiful island. The wine was delicious as were the local accompanying cheeses, salami and bread. Bought three bottles to take home with us! Enjoyed meeting Giuseppe and being shown around his wine estate, he was a fantastic host. Would definitely recommend this tour!

We did the 3 day 4 night SW Sardinia cycling trip. It was perfectly organised from start to finish - great pre arrival info, lovely touches like map and water bottle, very informative cycling notes. Good change of views and terrain. We are 4 non cyclists- but active in other sports and 1 cyclist and we found it not necessarily easy but not difficult- just right. The teens were happy with 3 days of cycling and were glad to have a rest. We adults could have cycled more! Would highly recommend and if we get the chance, will do another tour.

This was a fantastic way to see different beaches from Cagliari. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We went to beaches that were not windy and suitable for the day’s conditions. I’ve booked another tour with them because I enjoyed myself so much. It wouldn’t have been possible without my own car or arrangements. Highly recommend!

All over the island there are more than 7000 nuraghes, singular and peculiar buildings. Megalithic fortress built with enormous stones and with a particular charm.

A brilliant experience and one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you to Isabella, Valerio, Rosanna and the rest of the family for hosting us in your beautiful home - We truly felt welcomed as friends. We had so much fun learning about Sardinian culture and making traditional culurgiones and malloreddus. We enjoyed coffee, breads, cold cuts and cheeses with honey, and our pasta with wine and profiteroles for dessert. We couldn't have asked for a more authentic experience. We also followed Isabella and Valerio's recommendations for Osteria Kobuta and Baccu Cardu, which were amazing. Highly, highly recommend! (We'd love to come again!)

We enjoyed every minute of this excellent tour. The perfect way to see the sights of Cagliari's hilly streets and also include the flamingos and the castle of San Michele. The driver was prompt, friendly, informative and guided us safely through the city. Even though it was not high flamingo season, we did see quite a few and enjoyed seeing the reserved area created for the flamingos. The best part of the morning was driving down ancient tiny streets that were just wide enough for a tuk tuk but not a car. We would not have had this experience without doing the tuk tuk and would highly recommend this tour.

Even the two hour quad tour takes you through varying terrain and amazing landscapes. The views of the ocean and the coast are stunning both from near and afar. Riding a quad is generally a very enjoyable experience. These things are super sturdy and can handle any trail. The guide ensures the trip is safe, fun, and the participants learn a little bit about the area.
