Even the two hour quad tour takes you through varying terrain and amazing landscapes. The views of the ocean and the coast are stunning both from near and afar. Riding a quad is generally a very enjoyable experience. These things are super sturdy and can handle any trail. The guide ensures the trip is safe, fun, and the participants learn a little bit about the area.

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!

December 2019 We have just had 3 days with Gianfranco and cannot recommend his guiding abilities too strongly. First day was an historical tour of Tortoli & Arbatax but outside the towns up on the hills finishing at the port in Arbatax. From prehistoric to WW2 in one day was absolutely fascinating. Day 2 was a 13 km walk some bits tougher than others but always amazing views. Day 3 was on the highest mountains to look at the lakes and villages topped off by a wine tasting at a very small producer of super Cannonau wine. On all 3 days Gianfranco’s enthusiasm and extensive knowledge kept us going from historical & geological to botanical & gastronomical all supplemented by vignettes of good conversation but without becoming too much. Plus the picnic stops are in just the right places! We had already booked our accommodation elsewhere but having met Juliet too I can imagine they are fantastic hosts. Please use Go Comida and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. September 2020 Back in Tortolì we have just used Gianfranco again for two walks. The standard of guiding, information and general conversation is still excellent. The day can be as hard or relaxing as you like so don’t think you’ve got to be super fit, Gianfranco will tune the day to your wishes and capabilities. Oh, and there’s even good coffee made on his gas stove at lunchtime! Again, can’t recommend Go Comida enough.

5. Off-road tour in the Supramonte and visit to Pischina Gurthàddala
In the Supramonte of Urzulei you can appreciate the calcareous landscapes of Campu Oddeu and Campos Bàrgios. With the animals in the wild: goats, horses, cows, sheep, pigs and donkeys, which will meet along the road, it will seem to be on a safari. You then reach the Sa Sedda de as bacas site full of attractions such as: a monumental yew tree and the nuragic site of Su campu de sa Càrcara, the Sa Sedda de as bacas sheepfold and a unique karst phenomenon: the fairytale Pischina Gurthàddala . The hike continues until you reach the panoramic points of Tròcari and S’Ischina de s’Arraica: from here you can admire the immense scenery dominated by the Gorropu gorge. It is, without doubt, the wildest part of the island, between the territories of Orgosolo and Urzulei, in a Neolithic landscape, marked by the nuraghi Mereu and Presetu Tortu, from the primary forest of holm-oaks of Sas Baddes, from the Su Cunnu de s 'Ebba and from the stratifications of Sa Giuntura.

First, the boat (the Blue Magic) is very comfortable. You can find on this boat of 49 feet everything you need. We had the biggest room with my wife, my sons (9 et 5 years old) were in a smallest one together but sufficient. Then Bobo, the skipper : very nice with all of us, very funny too. He's a very good skipper, very safe. No one had seasickness on board and i'm sure Bobo was the key with very sweet navigations every day. Giusy, Bobo's wife, took care of us every single minute of the cruise with so much kindness and sweet attentions. She's a very good diver and if something has to be observed under the see, she sees it at each time ! So impressive. She's a very good cooker, her coffee Moka is delicious obviously with a dozen of Molinetti cookies ;-) The cruise took us from Santa Maria Navarrese and Ogliastra to the North of Magdalena archipel and then we came back to Olbia. Very nice trip, just one day off nav because ok thunderstorms. So much marvelous sites, calas, snorkel spots, and fun. We've lived with them so easily ! To conclude, it was like paradise during a week. Bobo and Giusy are the perfect hosts. I can assure you we'll be back on board soon for Sardinia west coast cruise on the Blue Magic with both of them. Further more, 2 painful moments during the cruise : the minute you get back in your pants after a week on board living in a swimsuit (like to be in jail), and the time to say goodbye to Bobo an Giusy because they became a part of our family :-(( Last advice : 2 swimsuits, 2 T-shirts, 2 shorts for each person on board is enough for the entire week, so forget trolley and all the unuseful stuff you usually take on vacation

We contacted Emanuele in order to drive us around Sardinia from the airport to our hotel in Giardini di Cala Ginepro, back to the airport as well as to the nearby towns. He’s extremely kind, punctual and above all helpful with profound knowledge about this beautiful region of Italy. When we asked if he could provide us with two car seat for our children he said it was no problem. The car was impeccable and we will definitely keep him as our preferred driver when we’ll be back. Highly recommended!!!!

We were wonderfully surprised by this exceptional contemporary art museum, highlighting the works of artist Costantino Nivola (1911-1988). This modern museum has a stunning and tranquil setting on the hillside overlooking the small village of Orani. There are several buildings surrounded by lovely landscaping and centered on a peaceful plaza. You can view Nivola's work indoors and outdoors. His most recent sculptures are superb! One could easily spend an hour or so to enjoy the art, stroll the gardens and soak in the views with a cup of coffee or refreshment which is served at the small, onsite cafe. Entry is a modest 5 euros, and there are special exhibits beyond Nivola's art. We highly recommend including a visit in your itinerary to central and northern Sardinia.
