Food Tour Yes!

Maya was wonderful! Thoughtful and informative of everything we saw. The food was great, particularly the restaurant for pasta and a fabulous little desert. Also loved the antipasto at the second stop. Could eat that everyday. The shop owners were lovely. Highly recommend!

Exceptional experience

We loved this tour in a very charming old Fiat. Cagliari has many beautiful areas but also some steep hills and this was a comfortable way to get around and be able to enjoy the view from the heights. Our guide Valentina was absolutely fantastic. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable with a good sense of humor, and she gave us great insight into the history of Sardinia and Cagliari.

Great food -- terrible directions from Viator

The class was outstanding and the host was very engaging and welcoming. The food that we enjoyed afterwards was a delight. One important note is that the link to the directions provided by Viator put us along an empty street in a town several miles from the actual location of the class. The host told us this has bee brought to Viator's attention in the past with no correction. It took several phone calls and a new map link (provided by the host to find the venue.

Captain Carlo Made Our Day in Sardinia Unforgettable!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — Captain Carlo Made Our Day in Sardinia Unforgettable! If you are looking for a private boat experience in Sardinia, Boating Sardinia is absolutely wonderful! My husband Jerry and I spent an incredible day on the water with Captain Carlo, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Sardinia is breathtaking on its own, but experiencing its spectacular coastline and crystal-clear turquoise water from Carlo’s boat made it unforgettable. Carlo was warm, personable, knowledgeable and attentive from the moment we met him. He knew exactly where to take us to see beautiful coves, gorgeous scenery and amazingly clear water. We never felt rushed. He gave us time to swim, relax, take pictures and simply enjoy being together in one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited. What really sets this experience apart is Carlo himself. He made us feel completely comfortable and safe, while also making the day fun and personal. It felt less like a typical tour and more like spending a wonderful day on the water with someone who genuinely loves Sardinia and wants you to love it too. We have traveled to many beautiful places, and these are the experiences we treasure most—the ones where the scenery is extraordinary, everything feels effortless, and the person taking care of you makes the day even more special. Thank you, Carlo and Boating Sardinia, for giving Jerry and me such a beautiful memory. We would book with you again in a heartbeat and recommend you without hesitation. A true 10 out of 10! 🇮🇹💙⚓️ Dana & Jerry

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!

The Best Way to Explore the Sardinian Coast & Sea

What a wonderful day-long experience exploring the beautiful coastline and waters of the Mediterranean Sea! The catamaran we were on was a beautiful, well-maintained boat, and our guide for the day - Max - made everyone feel safe and comfortable. There were a total of 12 people on the boat, so there was plenty of room to spread out, relax and not feel crowded in any way. Max took us to 4 different snorkling spots, fed us wonderful Sardinian food and drink, and was the perfect host all around. We loved our day on the water and view it as one of the highlights of our time in the Alghero region. We highly recommend!
