About Tour Guide Matteo P.
I am a licensed tourist guide of the Sardinia Region with many years of experience and I always love to present and to show my island. I think it is a very beautiful and interesting place and it really deserves to be visited. At the university, I've studied sociolinguistics but as I am a native Sardinian, all my studies were mostly connected to Sardinia, which has a very special cultural and linguistic situation. Anyhow, beside its interesting history, culture and languages, Sardinia has the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean, plus and extraordinary variety of landscapes. I've worked as tour guide more than 30 years, before just as part time activity during the summer and now as a full time work, and even after so many years, I always enjoy to take the people around this beautiful and extraordinary island.
Reviews
“Knowledgeable, warm hearted local!”
We can’t recommend Matteo enough. He’s a very knowledgeable local with a wonderful energy. He picked us up in the north of the island and he curated a custom agenda for us based on our interests and our requested final destination in the south of the island. He was also flexible- helping us add and modify the agenda as ideas come up! We had an incredible day and arrived safely in the south of the island for part two of our trip. What an incredible way to see and learn more of the island, rather than just driving straight from point A to point B!

Thank you very much Kristy for this nice rating, where you describe, in a detailed way, a day which has been very pleasant also for me.

FULL DAY TOUR AT THE ISLANDS OF LA MADDALENA & CAPRERA
La Maddalena is the name of the principal island of an archipelago off the north-eastern tip of Sardinia. The archipelago is also known as La Maddalena, and consists of over sixty islands, islets and rocks. In the past the islands have been important strategic naval and military bases; now they are an attractive and fairly low-key holiday destination. After the transport by ferry, we will visit by car the biggest islands of this archiperlago: La Maddalena & Caprera.
LUNCH WITH THE SHEPHERDS OF SARDINIA ( ORGOSOLO )
Barbagia is fascinating area of Sardinia; an initial discovery reveals a terrain rugged yet articulated (perhaps the wildest on the Island), and a world where customs and traditions pair with a generous people. It is a life characterized and preceded by millennia of fascinating history. In its east is the Supramonte Ogliastrino, a chalky plateau dominated by Monte Corrasi (4, 800 ft high) and extending throughout the territories of Oliena, Orgosolo, Dorgali, Bunei and Urzulei.
ART MARKET OF SAN PANTALEO & PORTO ROTONDO
These two locations, San Pantaleo and Porto Rotondo, are both inside the municipality of Olbia and they have been characterized in the last 30 years by an intense artistic activity: Porto Rotondo hosting the works of some of the most famous Italian artists and San Pantaleo having, during the summer, EVERY THURSDAY MORNING, one of the most interesting artistic markets of North Sardinia.
THE COSTA SMERALDA & THE NORTH EAST SARDINIA
A journey back through time, 5000 years of history in half a day, starting with the gigantic mushroom-shaped rock of ARZACHENA and the prehistoric nuraghe LA PRISCIONA and its village; then the picturesque village of SAN PANTALEO, set between peaks of granite. Then we will go to the COSTA SMERALDA with its capital PORTO CERVO, where we will visit La Piazza, the Old Port and the church of Stella Maris. After BAJA SARDINIA, we will visit Forte Capellini, which in the XIX century was a fortress.
