What people are saying about Province of Nuoro, Sardinia

Claudia is an outstanding guide and we had a wonderful afternoon in this extraordinary place. We were the only people there. Claudia shared her huge knowledge of time, place and people so engagingly, so clearly and enthusiastically, that we really were taken back around 5,000 years (an almost ungraspable length of time). In this magical setting, we felt really close to the people of then and so very respectful of the ways they honoured their dead. And it wasn't all deep history, we also had a lot of fun and laughter. Highly, highly recommend.

It was super nice! Even though we were a mixed group, the guild made sure she spoke in both German and English, such that everybody was able to enjoy the experience and understand the explanations about various objects from the road. We even went to the Sorgenti su Gologone afterwards, which wasn't part of the trip, but the guid went out of her way to take us there to enjoy some nice spring water

Claudia is 100% the best tour guide I have had the pleasure of meeting. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable, caring, patient, passionate and a wonderful person. Highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time, enjoy every minute of our tour!! Our guide Valerie was very kind, I highly recommended this to discover amazing Sardinia

Very good experience, an excellent way to went into amazing beaches. The staff are friendly.
