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!

The Guide (Luca) is a very nice and fun person. You can really tell he knows a lot about sardignia and wants to let you have the best experience possible. The Hike through the moon valley was very beautiful and interesting through the various information about the plants, history and culture given to us by Luca. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to have a little adventure and learn about sardignia in a compact fashion.
