Highlights
  • Orgosolo - Starting point Orosei towards Orgosolo, one of the most important towns in Barbagia for the richness of its traditions and for its numerous murals, originally painted as a protest tool, which adorn small streets and squares, houses in the historic center and facades of new buildings in this small village in central Sardinia, with an invaluable natural and cultural heritage. The inhabited center is located about 600 meters above sea level on the slopes of Mount Lisorgoni, offshoot of the Gennargentu massif and we will reach it on board our Land Rovers. Around the spectacular and impervious landscape of the Supramonte of Orgosolo, for centuries a refuge for bandits and shepherds, where our excursion continues immersed in the wild and unspoiled nature of the heart of Barbagia.

PROFESSIONAL AND TRULY VALORIZERS OF THE SARDINIAN LAND - Very interesting tour. The day flew by! Very knowledgeable and friendly guides; I did it with my 81 year old father and he had a lot of fun with zero effort. Culture, sociality and genuine eating prepared by real shepherds, not only suckling pig but also boiled sheep... delicious! In short, money well spent, time invested even better!

An unforgettable experience - We had a memorable experience with my son thanks to the organization of Mélina and the agency. An eco-responsible way of traveling, everything was perfect. This 4*4 outing with the visit to the shepherd and all the stories about Sardinia with a lot of authenticity made us feel really good. We loved all the attention from Mélina and especially that the agency was always there for us when we needed. I recommend 200%

An unforgettable Experience - This day offered Sardinia's best. You will be driven to the tops of the mountains where you can walk among the cows, donkeys, and goats while you enjoy the fresh cold air and scenery. You will see Nuraghi ruins where you will receive an in-depth explanation about the history of the civilization. Next, you will enjoy the hospitality of a shephard family enjoying a communal feast of locally sourced delicious meat, cheese, wine, fruit, and sweets. We spent hours taking, eating, and soaking up the Sardinian way of life. It was an amazing time and noone wanted to leave. Lastly, you will stroll through Orgosolo observing the many murals which cover the walls all telling a story, of historical, social, or political significance. The guides are very knowledgeable, professional, and so friendly. We had an incredible time, and count this excursion as one onf our favorites of many in a month spent on Sardinia. I strongly recommend this experience if you truly want to learn about this land and its people. Thank you to Melina, our guide. She was terrific! Adam, Megan, & Izzy (Canada/US)

Atypical discovery Unforgettable - Unforgettable experience of visiting the different sites outside the classic routes: the cemetery of the giants, the ascent to dominate the entire valley, and the discovery of Orgosolo after a lunch prepared by the shepherds. The guides are great, with lots of anecdotes and stories. To do absolutely

Lots of fun, highly recommended - This was definitely one of the highlights during my trip in Sardinia. The whole day was very well organised, and food and drink were delicious. Melina, Simone and Cristina are very friendly, very good guides, and very knowledgeable about the history, culture and nature of Sardinia. I had lots of fun. Highly recommended!

A great day in Sardinia! - Every part of our experience was perfect! Even though we saw many amazing sites and tasted delicious foods and wine, I most enjoyed talking with Simone and Melina, our tour guides. Simone, being a native Sardinian, was knowledgeable about the history of Sardinia and the people who live here. He shared the rich history and traditions of the proud people which I found very interesting.Melina was very open to answering my hundreds of questions even when I asked about her own personal background. I found them both to be very warm and friendly people with great attitudes. I wish I could stay longer and do more tours with both Simone and Melina! The tour was an all day experience but went by more quickly than expected because we were engaged and learning at every point during the tour. We hiked a fairly easy trail, had a Sardinian lunch, were entertained by local men singing and dancing, and visited the village of Orgosolo to see the many cool political murals painted on the walls of buildings there. It was all together a great experience for us!

Great jeep tour to the Supermonte - Great interesting jeep tour. We started walking in Ogrosolo, the murales and the stories about them.Than we went on a jeep tour, the giant graves and the Supermonte mountain. We chose a 3 hours tour, started around 3:30. We had a tasty, nice meal outside, cooked by Mickele's father. It was a wonderful meal with local farm dishes. Some of us were vegiterians and had veg and cheese and some had pig and sheep on the fire.. Simone was friendly and cooperative, knowledable and nice.

A day in the Barbagia mountains - Beautiful excursion with a visit to the real Sardinia, spectacular landscapes and immersion in the simple life of the shepherds with whom we shared the traditional lunch of boiled sheep and roasted suckling pig, washed down with real Cannonau, DOC pecorino cheese and exquisite sweets. Finally, after a glass of Mirto, we visited Orgosolo with its wonderful murals, which struck us with their raw but real truth that exudes from each of the works on display. Thanks to our guide Melina, a very skilled off-road driver and full of precious details in the description of the places visited. With her we also met a very valid collaborator, Leo Fancello, who knows and above all loves his land, and guided us thoroughly in understanding the tradition and customs of Sardinia. I recommend this wonderful and rich experience to everyone.
