My experience if not to use Viator again since they did not want to refund the tour when we could not be there at all

We never got to the port. Oceania Bista cruise had a problem in Livorno and we never got to Olbia. I will never book another tour with this company.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Dear Juan_B, We are sorry for the issue with your cruise and that you were unable to reach Olbia. However, we would like to clarify that cancellation and refund policies are set by Viator at the time of booking, and we must adhere to their terms. We always recommend checking the cancellation policy before booking to avoid any inconvenience in case of unexpected changes. We understand your frustration, but we hope you can understand that, as a small local business, we have to follow the conditions agreed upon with our booking partners. If you visit Sardinia in the future, we would love to welcome you and provide you with an unforgettable experience. Best regards, Alessio Ape Romantic Tour

Archaeology ruins

The tomb of the giants was very interesting, along wirh the Wells. Quite expensive but unless you hired a car there isn't an easy way to see these sights.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear customer, thank you for choosing our private chauffeur-driven service to discover the various monuments of the area. Best regards

Don’t book this tour! They scam tourist and will not refund your money!

Shea_J, Oct 2022
I booked this online while on our cruise ship the first response I got was to change the time as they said they couldn’t take us at the time we paid for $200 US dollars because of a family emergency I then asked for a refund - MIRACULOUSLY they said they could now take us - when they sent the pick up spot I explained it must be too far from us and needed a refund they then ghosted me and stopped responding ! THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TOURIST DONT BOOK HERE! I will get my 200 dollars back I promise you…. It horrible to be ripped off while trying to enjoy your vacation! We did 2 other tours booked on viator and both were amazing! DONT GET RIPPED OFF

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Review totally written in bad faith. The lady booked a tour in Olbia while her cruise docked in a port in another distant city. Obviously, since she cannot show up for the appointment, she demands a refund. If I could, I would post the conversation I had with the lady where she admits she was wrong. I hope that Viator will integrate the possibility of attached screenshots of the conversations as soon as possible.

Severely underwhelming and expensive

Adam_P, Jul 2022
The most memorable aspects of the tour are that it was woefully under-delivered. We asked for an English-speaking guide for our archaeological tour of Oblia. Well we got an English speaking driver who made no attempt to talk to us, and who simply played (often too late) pre-recorded snippets of historical narrative. The tour was severely underwhelming. Some of the sites were not even archaeological such as a city park and an existing church. On top of this, for the money we spent, and the 35 degree temperature, the company provided no water.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi, instead of answering I will ask you some questions: 1) 35 degrees temperature, Who chose to do the archaeological tour at 1:30 pm in July? 2) water, Where did you read that water is included? 3) English driver, Where did you read that the driver should have given you detailed explanations throughout the journey while he was driving? 4) audio guide, Did you read that the audio guide would have given you explanations on the monuments? 5) non-archaeological monuments, I have no questions to ask you as all the monuments you have visited have 5000 years of history. Best regards

To do!

Andrea_E, Jul 2019
