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!

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!

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!

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.
