    Der Ausflug war sehr schöne und ich würde Ihnen auf jeden Fall wieder machen. Wenn der Termin nicht verschoben worden wäre, hätte ich die Buchungsbestätigung einen Tag zu spät erhalten. Vielleicht hat dies aber auch mit der Verschiebung zu tun gehabt. Von Mitreisenden habe ich dann erfahren, das man die Tour auch für 90 Euro incl. Getränke erhalten konnte. Es war zwar von Olbia eine Abholung möglich, aber ich musste trotzdem mit dem Auto fahren, daher finde ich den Preisunterschied nicht gerechtfertigt. Was ist ganz schlecht finde, die TUI App bzw. der Chat, hier bekommt man keine Vernünftige Antwort und kann auch nicht richtig nachfragen. Ein Ansprechpartner Vorort ist hier doch ein großer Vorteil. Meiner Meinung nach wird hier am falschen Punkt gespart.

Guided tour of Costa Smeralda with Porto Cervo and beach time

San Pantaleo is known for its low-key rustic charm, with narrow streets and stone buildings that give it a traditional and authentic feel. The village square is the heart of San Pantaleo, and it is here that visitors can browse the small shops run by local artisans, selling traditional and unique handicrafts and Sardinian produce.In total contrast, Costa Smeralda is a sleek destination with Porto Cervo at its luxurious heart. Take a guided tour to see its marina packed with millionaire yachts and maybe mingle with the jet set. Soak up all the glamour from one of the pavement-side cafes, or in the designer shops and high-end boutiques.The last stop is Baia Sardinia, a glorious beach where you can enjoy some free time to relax, swim, or take a break in a beach bar. The fine sand invites you to linger, while the beach is bookended by rocky outcrops perfect for snorkelling or rock-pooling. We'll take a scenic route back to base with views over the coast and countryside.
