What are people saying about Sardinia

Safari27783609736, Oct 2026

Wonderful!

The workshop was a lot of fun! Damiano was very nice and showed and explained everything to us. What I liked best was that everyone could perform all tasks themselves and the tasks were not distributed. In addition, we were asked to use our senses to optimize dough consistency and filling. From noodle to noodle our sealing technique got better - and everyone enjoyed it very much! Many thanks, Damiano and Riccardo!

Olbia : Private Romantic Tuk-Tuk Tour + Pickup Included

Angelika_K, Oct 2026

Relaxed, Informative and Truly Memorable

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this Tuk Tuk tour in Olbia! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, including the communication before the tour. Even when I initially went to the wrong meeting point, I immediately received a WhatsApp message with clear directions to the correct location. This level of customer care was truly appreciated. Our guide was extremely friendly, drove safely and professionally, and always gave us enough time at the sightseeing stops to get out, enjoy the surroundings, and take photos. The commentary was easy to understand, and we especially liked that it was delivered directly rather than through headphones, which made the experience much more personal and enjoyable. The relaxing music between the stops created a wonderful atmosphere and made the tour feel very comfortable and unhurried. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our stay in Olbia. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the city in a fun, relaxed, and memorable way. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! 🚖☀️🌊

La Maddalena Archipelago Sailing Tour with Lunch from Palau

Brenda_G, Sep 2026

A must-do excursion!

A spectacular trip! Leaves from Palau, and my advice is to arrive early, find parking on the street before you get near the dock, and have a caffe at Benthos which is the meeting point. The catamaran is great, and Samuel and Sophia were fabulous hosts. We sailed, explored, ate and drank! Surroundings are very level and so is this excursion!

This was our best experience so far in our trip to Sardegna! The captain and first mate (& chef) we're beyond all expectations! Every stop was seemless and so beautiful! The food was fabulous, from the aperitifs to lunch to snacks on the way home!! The prosseco was delicious and we didn't want for a single thing! The boat was clean and well maintained. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a beautiful day on the water seeing La Maddalena Archipelago in the best way possible!

Great price for a great tour

The boat tour was super fun. The skipper was really top-notch. Very friendly and caring. We were in wonderful places. On board there was something to drink and a small snack in between. For the 85€ that was really a great excursion. 4 hours out and about and the snorkeling equipment was available.

Deluxe Cagliari for Cruise Ships Shore Tour of Stunning Sardinia

Ling_C, Jul 2026

Our tour of Cagliari was...

Our tour of Cagliari was perfectly timed for exploring the historic areas. Just a heads-up: those medieval streets are steep, with a lot of downhill walking, so make sure your knees are up for it! We took in a gorgeous panoramic view of the city from the park, visited Poetto Beach, and checked out the nearby natural salt ponds. We even got lucky enough to watch a flamingo spread its wings and take flight—such an incredible sight! Our guide was super knowledgeable and managed a group of 30 effortlessly. We wrapped up with a delicious Sardinian lunch of pizza, salad, and beer. Highly recommend!

Guided Wine and Olive oil tasting

🍷 A charming winery experience near Alghero

A fantastic experience that we highly recommend! The charming vineyard is located just a short distance from Alghero and offers a perfect combination of good wines, personal atmosphere and beautiful setting. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke clear and easy to understand English, which meant that even we who are not wine experts could come along and learn a lot. We especially appreciated that the tasting was not only about the wines but also included interesting history about the farm, the family and the area, which made the visit both educational and genuine. The whole experience felt relaxed, well organized. It was noticeable that you are passionate about your craft and are happy to share your knowledge. We will be more than happy to come back the next time we visit Sardinia and then we will take the opportunity to stay a few days on the farm also to be able to enjoy even more of the fantastic environment. Thank you for an unforgettable visit! Magnus, Sweden 🇸🇪🍷☀️

Authentic Pasta Cooking Class in Alghero Farmhouse with Wine

Nadja_S, Apr 2026

Perfect

We had a wonderful time. Irene and her son had prepared everything beautifully. The farm has a lovely atmosphere and is very cosy; in the evening, everything is lit up. We made six types of pasta, two of which were cooked at the end. We were also given lots of local delicacies to try. Irene explained everything very patiently. Afterwards, we were given the recipes. We had a lot of fun and learned so much. Highly recommended.
