I was scheduled to take a tour with Fortieventi through TripAdvisor in Sep 2020. A misunderstanding on my part and double booking was caught by Luca and he personally ensured I got everything straightened out prior to arriving in Sardinia. Extremely helpful prior to even departing my home station. He was very communicative upon my arrival and picked me up at my hotel. We were supposed to have 3 people on the tour, but there was an issue with the other couple and it wound up being only Luca and myself for the day. He was a PHENOMENAL tour guide!! He had the go-to places in Costa Smeralda, Porto Cervo, etc., but adjusted the day given my preferences and desires. Incredibly knowledgeable about Sardinia, history, wines, churches, food, etc. After 7 hours and 1,000 questions, the day ended with a door to door delivery back to my hotel. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day learning about Sardinia through his eyes and experience. HIGHLY suggest Fortieventi for any and all Sardinia-related tours!! If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Thank you, Luca, for a very memorable day!

I got in touch with Emerald Cruises several months ago, as I wanted to a unique, special way to propose when I got to Sardinia. Although I’d initially emailed several companies, Emerald stood out as they seemed to truly care and I felt like I could trust them. Daniele got in touch with ideas, detailed plans and remained in constant communication. He put a plan together which was specifically for me and exactly what I wanted for my proposal. When we arrived in Sardinia, he and his assistant greeted us at the dock and helped us on board. The boat was beautiful. He played the songs that I’d chosen and took us to a remote beach, as I wanted to be somewhere away from people. The beach was perfect, empty and he had set up a picnic blanket, ready for when he brought us our drinks. After the proposal, I said that I’d wanted to see the sunset. They drove the boat so that we were facing west (so we had the perfect view) and prepared dinner for us, which was incredibly well presented and tasted amazing. Later on, he drove us back and dropped us outside of our hotel. Not once did I feel rushed or like I was being a pain, even though I was! I wanted everything to be perfect and not only did he never make me feel bad for that, he made it happen. I cannot thank them enough and could not recommend them more.

We booked a journey to visit the archipelago of La Maddalena. The places we have visited were wonderful, beaches were nice. But there is several touristic boats going at the same places at the mean time so the beaches were crowded. The last stop at La Maddalena city center is very short, and 1 hour is not a lot to do a lot of things. Last thing, we book the journey with our hotel, on the flyer, it was writtent that a lunch on board was supposed to be offered, but when we boarded, they gave us a new flyer saying that no lunch was provided, it was too late for us to buy something to eat. The team was nice. The captain explains a lot of things in Italian, and his colleagues translates it a bit, but not everything so we got confused several times.

Spending the day with Annarita was absolutely incredible. Her knowledge of and passion for this magnificent part of history is unmatched. We were having such a great time connecting with her that our time went by so quickly. We’ll be requesting her for future tours in the area, for sure. We’ll also be returning to the palace now that we have a better understanding of its history. Treat yourself to this very special experience!

This boat trip was one of the highlights of our trip to Sardinia. Due to covid there was no dinner included but we just brought a packed lunch instead. The trip we went on visited 2 different island beaches with plenty of time to get off and explore/enjoy. There was a sea stop to sea the ‘pink beach’ (which didn’t look pink at all. Apparently it’s now closed to the public as people were taking the pink sand), a swimming stop for 20-30 mins, and finally an hour or so in la maddelena. I really enjoyed this trip and just wished we had more time to explore la maddelena before heading back! The price was a lot less than other trips we found online, I don’t see how it would have been worth spending the extra when this trip was so good. I would definitely recommend ????

Matteo conducted this tour for myself and another solo traveller. It was very interesting and Matteo is very knowledgeable and was flexible to suit the types of things we wanted to see on this tour. Matteo spoke English very well and also injected plenty of humour into his dialogue! We finished the day at a fantastic agroturismo restaurant and Matteo was able to describe the dishes and local customs to us. We had a great day and wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Matteo and the tour!

This tour is different from all the others because the island of La Maddalena is skirted in an anti-clockwise direction, allowing guests to see many more sites of naturalistic, historical and cultural interest. In addition, the boat can pass under the Caprera bridge allowing you to more easily skirt the beautiful island of Caprera. During the exclusive tour, you will be able to admire the granite sculptures shaped by mother nature and will be given information of a historical and cultural nature on the defensive works camouflaged along the coast.
