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!

We initially were debating whether to do this as €85 per head was cutting into our budget a little but we were very glad we did and it ended up being incredibly good value for money. Fabio, our tour guide, went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. We learnt a lot and he even went out his way to make sure any questions we had were answered correctly if he wasn't too sure of the answer. Fabio had a great sense of humour and entertained our jokes as a group of young lads on holiday. The wine, oil and cheese were all phenomenal and by the end of the tour we were stuffed. We were given plenty of time to relax, eat and talk with the other guests on the tour. It was interesting as we had visited one of the stops for dinner the night before and got to see behind the scenes of how our food was produced - everything organic and free range. Thank you Fabio for an amazing tour and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Alghero.

I was scheduled to take a tour with Fortieventi through TripAdvisor in Sep 2020. A misunderstanding on my part and double booking was caught by Luca and he personally ensured I got everything straightened out prior to arriving in Sardinia. Extremely helpful prior to even departing my home station. He was very communicative upon my arrival and picked me up at my hotel. We were supposed to have 3 people on the tour, but there was an issue with the other couple and it wound up being only Luca and myself for the day. He was a PHENOMENAL tour guide!! He had the go-to places in Costa Smeralda, Porto Cervo, etc., but adjusted the day given my preferences and desires. Incredibly knowledgeable about Sardinia, history, wines, churches, food, etc. After 7 hours and 1,000 questions, the day ended with a door to door delivery back to my hotel. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day learning about Sardinia through his eyes and experience. HIGHLY suggest Fortieventi for any and all Sardinia-related tours!! If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Thank you, Luca, for a very memorable day!
