I, along with a couple from our cruise ship, spent a wonderful day with Luca. He took us to some amazing and beautiful places and shared his love and knowledge of Sardinia with us. It was a great tour of this part of the island. The Costa Smerarlda is spectacular and Luca is super guide.

      Fantastic Tour!

      Anne_H, Apr 2026
      Ivana made the tour so engaging and informative and has a great sense of humor as well. She is a true treasure and I would certainly go on more excursions with her!

      Very worthwhile tour!

      Norse_B, Apr 2026
      Ivana super knowledgeable about San Panelo, Arazchrna, Porto Cervo, and Costa smeralda! Comfy van. Gives you time to explore. Take change for bathroom usage. Lunch not included in tour. Churches were the best part of the tour.

      Highly recommend

      Pamela_H, Oct 2025
      One of our best tours. I would recommend Luca to anyone. Very knowledgeable. Very polite. Great tour of this area.

      Positive Experience

      Lucy_G, Oct 2025
      It was an excellent experience well worth the money. Our guide, Ivana was fabulous. She went over and above to make this tour meaningful. She was very knowledgeable about the history and traditions of the area

      Highly recommended, Ivana is an exceptional host!

      Izabela_D, Oct 2025
      We spent fantastic day with Ivana. She was funny, friendly and full of knowledge. We visited some great villages within beautiful Costa Smeralda. It was a real pleasure and definitely a must if you're staying in Olbia.

      Coast smeralda

      Terry_N, Oct 2025
      Ivana is friendly, informative and knowledgeable. She also gives a lot of information about the history and the geography of the land. Totally enjoyed the experience. 👍

      Fabulous day out, with a very knowledgeable guide!!

      Anthea_M, Oct 2025
      Well rounded tour with Luca, his knowledge of local history and culture were endless! The mini bus was clean and airy plenty of room for all of us! A definite must.

      A fantastic trip

      Isabel_G, Jul 2025
      I booked this trip because I was travelling without a car and wanted to get a glimpse of some other areas of Sardinia. I'm so glad I did! Ivana was a wonderful tour leader - kind, funny, chatty, helpful and interesting. I learned loads about not only the places that we visited but also the history and culture of Sardinia in general. Porto Cervo was a pleasant surprise for me too. Although clearly designed for the very wealthy, it's tastefully done and suits the beautiful setting. Logistics-wise, communication leading up to the trip was great, and the vehicle was very comfortable. I felt we had the right amount of time at each stop - it was extremely hot that day, so endless wandering wasn't really an option. The tour also ends in time for you to squeeze in an afternoon beach trip from Olbia. Alternatively, one of the stops on the trip (assuming they're the same each time) has a beach, so you might want to take swim stuff with you.

      Great Experience of Smeralda

      Irene_J, Jul 2025
      Ivana from FortiEventi was an amazing tour guide. She was professional, very knowledgeable about the area, gave everyone leisure time to explore and has a great rapport with everyone and had a lovely sense of humour. Would definitely recommend this tour … it was our first time to Sardinia !!! And we will be back !!!

      We had a small group of 6 persons. Ivana, our guide was very helpful. She explained everything in detail. Everyone was very happy in her company.

      Exploring the Costa Snerelda .

      Kay_S, Jun 2024
      Excellent tour guides who were informative and fun, Luca and Ivana. Visited an authentic market. Quant towns and ended up in millionaires paradise, Porto Cuervo .

      Fabulous and informative trip

      Julie_G, Oct 2023
      Ivana, our tour guide was superb. Knowledgeable, friendly and great fun. We visited some lovely places, with enough time to take in our surroundings and take photos. A beautiful trip showing the different sides of the area which we wouldn't have seen had it not been for the trip. Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend.

      What a day at Smeralda!

      Phyllis_M, Sep 2023
      It was one of the best tours I have had. It was a full day and key areas and "must sees" were included with an adequate time to visit each spot. But what made this tour extra special was our guide, Ivana. Everyone should enjoy their jobs and people as much as her. She was dynamic while sharing the history and details of this beautiful region right down to how cork is harvested. Bravo Ivana! Thank you!

      Fantastic tour of Costa Smeralda

      Ivana from Forteviento tours was fabulous. She was knowledgeable, funny, spoke very good English. We learned so much and saw so much. I would recommend this tour without any hesitation.

      A must do!!!

      Roseann_Z, Sep 2022
      Francesco and Luca were awesome slippers. They made the trip pleasant and fun. They took us to some beautiful spots, cooked some amazing food ( which was plentiful and delicious) and were quite entertaining! A must do !!!

      Best Tour Ever!

      Mark_R, Sep 2022
      The tour guide Ivana was one of the best we’ve ever had! Interesting, charming, and funny! Highly recommend this tour!

      Absolute Rip Off!

      Orazio_A, Aug 2022
      I don’t normally write negative reviews but this time I could not help myself. I booked the Emerald Coast Tour through Viator for Sunday 28th August. After a few hours from my booking I received a message from the tour operator stating that the tour was fully booked (Fortieventi the tour operator had overbooked it) and I would need to rebook it (nothing stating the tour was fully booked while I was booking it). I rebooked it for Monday and the same thing occurred, the tour was fully booked. I was told the only available day was Wednesday, which was fine by me so I asked the tour operator to rebook us for Wednesday 31st August (my birthday). Booking confirmed. Wednesday 31st morning, I get a message from the tour operator stating that the tour was cancelled as the van had a broken windscreen (they confirmed me on 30th August in the evening it was all good). I was obviously disappointed and thought that it was a bit strange that a windscreen would get broken the day of the tour. I then spoke to some German tourists that were staying at our hotel and they told me that they were doing the same tour I was supposed to be on (Fortieventi was the tour operator), and their guide was named Ivana (same as the guide we were supposed to have on our tour). I was in Porto Cervo and saw both the guide and the van, which was in perfect conditions, of course. One can easily make assumptions…I am very disappointed with Viator. They used to vet tour operators but their standards have gone down a lot! Please stay away from this tour operator (Fortieventi) if you are an English speaker.

      Enjoyable and informative Costa Smeralda trip

      Karen_W, Jul 2022
      Excellent trip covering authentic Sardinia as well as Porto Cervo. Our guide Ivana was excellent and very informative and as we were a mixed group spoke fluent English and German. Plenty of time given at the different locations and many good photo stops on route. Would highly recommend if you want to see both sides of the Costa Smeralda.

      Fantastic day trip!

      PatriciaHoltzmann, Apr 2022
      Luca was an amazing guide who was sensitive to the needs of each guest and filled the day with joy and interesting facts about each location we visited. He went out of his way to make sure the experience was unforgettable, as he drove us to the most beautiful views and fascinating locations of the island. Extra plus: he told us many interesting details about each location and about the history of this incredible island. I highly recommend him as a guide and this trip! Costa Esmeralda is simply gorgeous! Grazie, Luca and Viator!

      Small group tour behind the glitz of the Costa Smeralda

      Betty_R, Sep 2020
      I did not have a car : was travelling solo & out of season so getting to see the Costa Smeralda would have been nigh on impossible on public transport . This small group tour was the best solution Comfortable; air conditioned ; socially distanced- masks on inside the car at all times . V Covid secure for starters . The itinerary was excellent : Started off at a Nuraghi site - love a bit of history so this went back way back BC ! Have an insight into the early settlements on this island . Next up was the charming &divine mountain village of SAN Pantaleo. Authentic charm of old stone houses of a bygone age ; a boho artsy vibe and stunning views of almost impossibly shaped mountains frame this idyllic village . Could’ve stayed longer ! Next up we hit the famous Costa Smeralda- once a worthless stretch of land fit only for goats now the playground of the super rich who think 9 E is too little for an espresso ! 2020 has seen fewer mega rich yachts and high rollers in the area - I got one was glad to see it like this . Porto Rotondo was stunning . A wonderful example of new build development totally in keeping with its traditional Sardinian roots but with a new modern twist in its stunning Church is SAN Lorenzo and it’s open air theatre . The church by the way HAS to be visited : one of the most originally beautiful pieces of interior architecture I have seen in all my many years of globetrotting . Porto Cervo is nice too - but for me did not have the SOUL of Porto Rotondo . Final stop was the Surrau vineyard nr Arzachena . I wasn’t drinking/ tasting but no matter via it has the most gorgeous view of this wonderful mountains surrounding SAN Pantaleo- soothing way to end a great day out . The guide Luca spoke perfect English and was incredibly engaging and helpful throughout . Pricey - but worth it .

      Wonderful overview of picturesque Costa Smeralda

      Our tour guide Ivana was both extremely knowledgeable and personable! We completely enjoyed learning so many interesting details about this beautiful part of Sardinia.

      That and the best that can happen to you:-)

      Isabella_J, Oct 2025
      We were so lucky with Ivana - she is a local - who told us with a lot of heart and humor felt everything about Sardinia, showed great spots and responds to all wishes without asking. In the end she took us to a "desired place" without asking and made sure that we could still eat in a restaurant before she just picked us up later and brought us back - long after the actual end of the tour! We were all so excited that we booked another tour with her the very next day. That and the best that can happen to you:-)

      Super nice views. Great nice guides. Relaxed tour without stress. Enough time to see everything. Background information on each location was not too long and not too short. Exactly right. Tour was eig. in English, it was nevertheless translated again understandably for everyone.

      Heinke_B, Apr 2024
      Die Tour mit Ivana war einfach fantastisch! Es fühlte sich an, als wäre ich auf einem Familienausflug unterwegs. Ivana war nicht nur ein ausgezeichneter Tourguide, sondern auch eine herzliche und liebevolle Begleiterin. Ihre Begeisterung für die Region war ansteckend und sie sorgte dafür, dass ich vom ersten Moment an mich wohl und willkommen fühlte. Ihre Kenntnisse über die Sehenswürdigkeiten und ihre Geschichten darüber waren faszinierend. Sie nahm sich die Zeit, mir alles detailliert zu erklären und beantwortete geduldig all meine Fragen. Ivana war auch sehr aufmerksam und flexibel und stellte sicher, dass ich die Orte besuchen konnten, die mich am meisten interessierten. Es war wirklich eine unvergessliche Erfahrung, die ich mit Ivana gemacht habe. Ihre herzliche Art und ihr Engagement machten die Tour zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Ich kann Ivana als Tourguide nur wärmstens empfehlen. Wenn Sie nach einer unvergesslichen und familiären Reiseerfahrung suchen, dann sind Sie bei ihr genau richtig! Danke Ivana :-))).
