Hello, my name is Matteo, I am a native Sardinian and I've lived most of my life on this beautiful island, except for a couple of years in London and 6 months in Australia and France. I've also worked (as a civilian) for more than 8 years in an important international NATO base in the south of Sardinia. I have a Master's degree in foreign languages (English and French) but at the university, I've also studied the Sardinian language, Sardinian history, and traditions. I've also attended many courses in Sardinian Archeology, due to the vast number of prehistoric monuments we have in the island. Sardinia sometimes is compared to a continent, for its variety of landscapes, cultures, languages, and traditions. I would be delighted to present you my island in all its diversities and originality. We Sardinians love our island, we consider it as a very beautiful, special, and fascinating island and we are ready to show you around and demonstrate that our love is fully justified. On request, I can organize excursions with buses of 50 seats, boats, yachts, and helicopters. Excursions on the occasion of special events: religious, sporting, and local festivals. From 2025 my vehicle used for individual/small group tours will be the new Hyundai Staria Hybrid 2025. Contact me and I will be happy to organize your tour and give you all the information about events, places to visit, and the related costs. - Master's degree in foreign languages - University of Sassari - Italian tour guide licence n. 20001038 - Certificate of tourist guide n. 2020 - Region of Sardinia (Italy) None.

Half a day tour to enjoy beautiful landscapes and delicious wines
Overview of your Olbia tour
This is a must-see tour around the spectacular granite rocks of Gallura: Arzachena, Palau, Porto Rafael, and Forte Cappellini. Sardinia and the neighboring island of Corsica are the most ancient lands of Europe, their granite rocks took shape in the Paleozoic era, more than half a billion years ago. In the middle of these rocks, one of the best wines of Sardinia originates: the Vermentino. At the end of the tour, we stop at the SURRAU cellar where you will taste one of the best Vermentino wines, together with other varieties of wine, bread, salami & cheese. The cellar of SURRAU in Gallura offers an intimate venue for visitors in a unique space, without barriers between the beautiful interior and the exterior vineyard landscape. Feel free to explore with the SURRAU staff who can help guide you in discovering the story of the winery, the secrets of winemaking, and the traditional aging process. An interesting tour to link the wines to their territory.

Matteo is a warm and freindly guide with deep local knowledge and a great sense of humour. He picked us up from the airport and introduced us to Sardinia's stunning Emerald Coastline. Thank you for a wonderful trip Matteo, our party really enjoyed ourselves and your company.

Dear Mateo Thank you for making our stay in Sardinia complete. Without your knowledge we would have completely missed so many gems and wonderful tales of your beautiful island. I would not hesitate to recommend your tours.
Diana M.United States
Matteo is the best guide we've had because he is extremely knowledgeable and manages our time that is best with our pace. He is cheerful and easy going. His car is very comfortable. As a Sardinian, Matteo is rich with stories and history , sharing interesting details about the island. We covered art, architecture, archeology , current trends as he navigated around Porto Cervo and the Gallura region. Highly recommend Matteo as a guide for Sardinia. He is 5 stars and more!!
Maria R.United States
My husband and I really enjoyed our tour. Matteo knows everything about the area. He's very personable, very helpful and considerate with our needs. He's very pleasant and went out of his way to make our tour of Costa Smeralda really memorable. At the end of the tour he surprised us with a bottle of red wine. It was really nice. Highly recommended.
