          A must-do experience
          Suberb experience from start to finish. We were treated to wonderful scenery and a fascinating insight into the world of wine making. Franco was such a friendly tour guide and Giuseppe the vineyard owner made us feel so welcome at his home. The tour finishes with lots of generous helpings of wine from the vineyard and a selection of local produced cheese and meats, where we got to chat to our fellow travellers around the dining table. A special mention to Fly, the cutest puppy in the world, who showered us with affection during our vineyard visit. A must-do experience for anyone visiting Cagliari!!

          Entertaining day
          It was fun. It is not what I expected. It is great to understand the small business vineyard in the region. The wine tasting was amazing. It is very small vineyard. I expected a couple a places with a wider variety wines and snacks from the region.

          Won Our Hearts!
          We visited Giuseppe’s vineyard during our holiday last month and it was definitely one of the highlights of the trip! Franco picked us up from our airbnb and was very friendly and knowledgable, as were the rest of the group that we picked up along the way! We had a lovely lunch while tasting the wine, and of course Fly (the puppy) won our hearts. We loved the wine so much we ordered six bottles of red to be delivered home to the UK! This was done super efficiently. We are currently enjoying a couple of bottles on our staycation to celebrate our anniversary - the perfect touch ☺️🍷 thank you Franco, Giuseppe and Fly!

          Excellent experience!
          Excellent experience! Franco and Giuseppe were very pleasant and entertaining, the wine was really good and we shipped some home. What was really interesting to learn was how Giuseppe has to make adjustments to the process depending on the weather each year. Relaxing around the table, sharing wine and local delicacies was a great way to end the tour.

          What an experience!
          This was my first time on kajak! And I will never forget it! Franco and Davide have been such great hosts, teaching us the best techniques, in order to perform at the best! The weather was beautiful, as the spots chosen from the starting point. We did a break on a beach to relax and enjoy the view and the clear water. Also we learned from them about the history of Sardinia, from the rocs above us, to the history of Cagliari (a gem of southern Sardinia, I recommend) Well, if you are searching for a well-organized tour, full of hidden spots and welcoming, this one is your cup of tea! Thank you again guys! Well-done! Federica

          One of the best tour experiences my husband and I have ever taken. Franco took us to an amazing family vineyard and we had delicious wine and food. I can’t wait to do this trip again with my adult children one day.

          Enjoyable morning with Giuseppe and Franco
          We really enjoyed our morning with Franco and Giuseppe! Franco picked us up promptly a short walk from our accommodation. The ride to and from the vineyard was enjoyable and air-conditioned, and we got a good background to the area from Franco. It was our first visit to a vineyard and Giuseppi was very happy to explain the process and answer any of our questions! We got plenty of delicious food and enjoyed tasting a variety of wines, both red and white, and other local products. We would recommend this wine tour to anyone. Warning - you may leave tipsy 😆

        The 4000 year old site of Barumini was exceptional and we enjoyed wandering thru it. Franco was excellent at explaining the history, construction, etc. We had no luck seeing the wild horses as they were not where they were suppose to be. Another exceptional site was Zappa Palace. It was at this point we felt we were being given the bum's rush. Another couple was part of our group and obviously friends with the guide. We were told this thing this morning that this couple had to fly home late this afternoon. During our visit to Zappa Palace, we were told we had to get going to get to the airport on time. We missed not seeing all there was to see; very disappointing. Once in the van, our guide asked where we'd like to be dropped off and proceeded to take us back to our lodging as we had asked. During the hour long drive the guide was continually on his cell phone and/or having a friendly conversation with his friends. Once to our drop off point, the three of them left the van and proceeded to who knows where for more than an hour. So much for rushing to the airport! We cannot, in good faith, recommend this company to other travelers especially if the guide's friends are involved. Was it worth the money we paid? Not really.

        My dears, so sad for your opinion.. Our tour is always complete and has alway 5 stars as you can see! We did all the best to show you all was in the program as mentioned! Nothing was excluded! As well we received a tip that usually means you were happy. The tour started at 9 and finisced perfectly at 1 pm as in the program! What we did after the end of the tour was to bring the guys to the train station to send them to the airport of Alghero. thanks, hope you we'll come again to enjoy some more tour with us to let you see how good we are! P.S. Smile and enjoy life! is too short to spend time writing bad things! regards

        Really interesting to see the Barumini sites. Franco takes time to explain everything and provides much information about the sites, as well as the surroundings, history, etc. Would really recommend.

        Franco was an excellent tour guide and made the excursion a fantastic experience! He is extremely knowledgeable about the culture and history of Sardinia, which made the sights very compelling. He is prompt, engaging, and thoughtful. The itinerary was also well-designed. We chose this particular excursion because it not only showed the nuraghe at Su Nuraxi, but included a side trip to see the lovely wild horses at Giara di Gesturi. Franco is a multi-lingual local and well-versed on all things Sardinian. At the end of the day, we also received many photos documenting our day. We enjoyed Franco’s company so much that we booked his food and wine tour for the next day. Also highly recommended!

        Am incredible tour which enlightened us on the the history and evolution of Sardenian history,culture and architecture. Highly recommend this unique experience. The adorably quaint nearby village Tuili is worth a coffee stop too. Thank you Franco our guide!

        Our Guide Franco made our visit to a stunningly interesting site the best it could be. He is passionate about Sardegna and it's history and provided examples of traditional music on our journey to Barumini. His explanations were concise and clear and he took time on our return to Cagliari to show us points of interest. He was relaxed and gave us time to look at the museum on our own after first explaining its layout and history to us.
        We cannot recommend him highly enough.

        Our tour guide Franco is the best. The whole trip is informative and letting us to know lots more of Sardinia including its history. Barumini is an amazing place worth exploring with its own uniqueness. After visiting the historical site, we went to Giara to watched wild horses grazing in field. Sceneries through the country road are also beautiful and we were very relaxed during the trip.

        We did a tour with Franco and he was fantastic. These ruins are some of the most well preserved that I’ve ever seen. We then went in search of the wild horses and weren’t disappointed. We stopped on the way back for a beer and snack and were then given an amazing overview of the city of Cagliari. He had a colleague filming our tour and this was quickly shared with us. Magnificent day!

        I had a great time. This was the perfect solution for visiting Su Nuraxi without my own car, and the journey up to see the horses was delightful, both for the horses and the views along the drive.
