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!

I am a tour guide of Sardinia. We will walk along the alleys and places of my childhood in the heart of Sassari, tasting the best local products. Meanwhile, I will reveal curiosities and anecdotes about the lifestyle of my hometown and thus you will get to know a new culture and our wonderful food and wine. During our walk, we will stop for a drink at a local bar. The best part of this experience will be the visit to my medieval cellar, where I keep my organic wine and a fantastic pecorino cheese (typical of this area) produced by a friend of mine but the surprises don't end there!

This tour is worth doing it for many reasons! First, Kevin, the guide, is a local but has an English mother, so you won't struggle to understand him as it happens with some Italian tour guides :P Then he is smart and knowledgable, but at the sime time he paid attention to our needs. Alghero is a gem and visiting it with a guide gives it that special touch!

The start is on an easy, non-demanding dirt road where, after a few kilometers of gentle ascent, take a path that leads us to the top of Monte Timidone, about 400m.... above sea level, from here the view is incredible, a 360 ° view will leave you speechless, obviously a break is a must to eat a snack and take some pictures. But the funniest part is the time of the descent, in fact after some suggestions and technical details on the use of the bike you take the path of the most panoramic Mount to reach the majestic and suggestive Cala Barca, here we are at about 120mt. overlooking the sea and in front of us the visual effect of the Isola Piana will leave us with bated breath. We continue with our ride in search of small beaches in the Porticciolo area and then return to the starting point. Easy excursion level suitable for everyone, especially for families with children

We had our first E-MTB experience with Biking Sardinia. Usually we rent normal MTB’s on holiday, but for exploring the beautiful surroundings of Alghero, this was both an relaxing and exiting experience. Emanuele guided us and told us about the landmarks and history of the area in an entertaining way. Two days later, we went back to rent road bikes. Wanny provided us with very good carbon/ultegra bicycles and advice for a perfect half dat trip. Many thanks!

The staff was very good and quick in reply my request of participation in one of the days for dolphin watching. Getting to the meeting point Fabio was very friendly and guided us to the boat and good measures of hygiene were taken before entering in the boat, including removing shoes, cleaning of hands and feet and use of masks at all times. Also we were a group of just 10 people with good space in between. Additionally, we had an overall overview of the life of dolphins. All of this was very positive. The negative points were... we did not see the dolphins, even though the continues efforts of the biologists to find them. But well, this is nature. I didn’t like that there was not a introduction to the tour when in the boat about for how long we would search the dolphins and how long we would have for snorkeling and where we were going to search for them. The time for snorkeling was very short and we didn’t see anything really impressive. If you have done snorkeling before, you most likely have already seen more interesting things. Overall a good trip.

One of the best archaeological guides that we’ve had and certainly the best in Alghero! Kevin explained everything in detail and took his time to answer our questions. Without the archaeological tour we would have not comprehended the Nuraghe culture and the Neolithic necropolis as well as we did now. Would definitely recommend!
