Sardinian trip

Anatoly_K, Oct 2021

We had a great time today. The Stuff was very nice and friendly they took us to see the places to die for just unforgettable. Thank you.

Boat trip: nice! Viator: worse company!

Tim_K, Sep 2021

The boat trip was very nice, despite the pre-specified program was not quite right. So we didn't stop at Spiaggia Rosa, but sailed past it. Along the way and during the stops you see very beautiful things. The staff on the boat is also very friendly. But you should definitely not have high expectations of Viator. What an amateurish company that is! For example, it is indicated in advance (in the advertisement of the boat trip) that the lunch is included. This turned out not to be the case, so you still have to pay extra for lunch on the boat: 5 euros per person. If you check this at Viator, you get the following response: too bad, bad luck... Parking at the harbor is also very difficult. Viator should have pointed this out. There is enough parking space, only paying is difficult: only by credit card or cash (note: no shop or catering business can exchange!). Viator also does not clearly indicate which boat you should have, so you are looking drowsy. We were just in time! Our tip: book the boat trip, but not at Viator. A cheaper tour is offered (for example by GetyourGuide). But: the boat trip itself makes up for everything, which is recommended!

Happy wife - happy life 🙂

Annika_S, Sep 2021

Beautiful places, nice Organisation, very friendly and funny crew! I would recommend to do the big tour! Absolutely worth it 🐟☀️🇮🇹

Nice day

Matteo_A, Sep 2021

Friendly staff, nice excursion, and good balance of breaks/activity. The beauty of the La Maddalena is shown in its entire range. The stop at the main island, though, seemed a bit unnecessary.

🎉🎉🎉🎉Best experience ever Highly recommended

Katherine_A, Jun 2021

Alessio (el alma de la fiesta) 🕺was super fun and funny! The tour was in Italian/English and a lil french, I noticed a super nice lady from the crew knew German and provided extra translation for the German speakers onboard which honestly I think can be categorized as a great customized service ! The food was good (pasta al dente with 🦀 and 🧀 for a fair price) you can also order drinks 🍷🍸🍺🍹and ice cream 🍦and some other items in the boat for fair prices, everything was clean and tidy, kudos to the awesome crew 👬👬👬👭👫, they were super kind and awesome, all the time checking on us to know how we were feeling, they all were super chill, helpful, fun and kind. It was my birthday and they all sang the happy birthday song in Italian to me 😍😍😍😍🎂🎉 and gave me a delicious ice cream with a candle ❤️❤️❤️❤️ It was a wonderful surprise, even more special because I was traveling alone but they never made me feel lonely which I consider a success ! One of them was specially caring and lovely, he even took some pictures of me with my phone so that I could send those to my family and friends ( you know when you're traveling alone apart from selfies is hard to make a nice picture of you with the wonderful background) . Honestly I highly recommend this crew, they all work very well together, you can feel the sinergy and great sense of humor, very respectful and above all very fun !!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot for everything, you made my day ❤️ Grazie Mile Ti amo Italia 🇮🇹❤️🎉🎉🎉

La Maddalena

AmyJ, Sep 2020

This didn't live upto expections. Could be due to covid but the journey felt really impersonal, there was no food or drinks provided, the bar was really expensive. The places they took us they didn't really provide any information about. The staff were friendly, however the tour guide had really poor English so it was hard to understand what he was saying. The views were beautiful and la Maddalena was really worth the visit.

Totally recommended

Daniela_S, Jul 2020

Awesome day trip to that beautiful archipelago. The installations are very well maintained and the staff is super nice. We went for a birthday surprise day and they sang with us Happy birthday with a nice muffin for my friend. Very easy as well to do the reservation. Please notice that the best is to bring your own food and drinks since in the boat you don't have many options for lunch (other than sandwiches and stuff like that). Very calm, not much party feeling, more relax. Wish it was longer to enjoy more the beaches!

Highly Recommend

Jadwiga B, Sep 2019

Everything went very good ,cruise crew with Claudia’s excellent commentary about La Maddalena spot on. We enjoyed every minute and will definitely come back.

Beautiful beaches

Lisa_K, Aug 2019

the beaches were absolutely stunning! We waded and swam and enjoyed it very much. Don't waste time hiking to the lighthouse at the last stop, nothing to see there. We really enjoyed the shopping in the small town.
