How it works

A shore excursion built around your call, not a fixed schedule

We have organised shore excursions in Sardinia for cruise lines and their guests for over 20 years. Every tour below is a starting point — the final program is always adapted to your ship's real docking window.

Send us your call details

Ship name, port, exact arrival and departure time, and number of guests. This is the first thing we need for any quote.

We build your program

Based on your time in port, we confirm one of the itineraries below, or adapt it — always with a safe margin before reboarding.

Meet & greet at the port exit

Vehicles cannot come alongside the ship. After disembarking, take the free shuttle bus provided by the port authority to the first stop — the port's passport control / exit gate — where your guide will be waiting with a name sign.

⏱️

Exact ship times required for every quote. All excursions are designed around your vessel's confirmed docking and departure time at Alghero, Porto Torres, Olbia or Cagliari — we do not confirm a program without it, to guarantee you are back on board with time to spare.

Itineraries

Excursions from Porto Torres

Choose the itinerary that best fits your ship's time in port.

From Porto Torres, four distinct itineraries — from classic Alghero to prehistoric Sardinia — all designed to fit comfortably in a 4-hour call.

Alghero – The Coral Riviera

Porto Torres → Alghero → Porto Torres

Our classic, most bookable Porto Torres excursion. Scenic transfer to Alghero (~35 min each way), then a 2–2h15 guided walk through the old town — bastions, towers, the Cathedral, Piazza Civica and the Catalan quarter — with time for shopping or a coffee before returning.

Castelsardo & San Gavino — Medieval Sardinia

Porto Torres → Basilica di San Gavino → Castelsardo → Porto Torres

Two eras in one program: the Basilica di San Gavino, one of Sardinia's most important Romanesque monuments, followed by the medieval hilltop village of Castelsardo — alleys, the castle, views over the Gulf of Asinara and the local basket-weaving tradition.

Monte d'Accoddi & Sassari — Prehistoric Sardinia

Porto Torres → Monte d'Accoddi → Sassari → Porto Torres

The pre-Nuragic sanctuary of Monte d'Accoddi, just 8 km from Porto Torres, followed by a guided walk through Sassari's historic centre: Piazza d'Italia, Palazzo della Provincia and the Duomo area.

Monte d'Accoddi is closed on Mondays and public holidays; a Sassari-only variant is available on those dates.

Castelsardo & Wines of Northern Sardinia

Porto Torres → Sorso/Anglona wine estate → Castelsardo → Porto Torres

Our food & wine option: a focused ~1-hour tasting at a winery on the Porto Torres–Sorso–Castelsardo route, followed by a guided visit to Castelsardo's medieval village.

Other ports: Cagliari · Olbia · All ports, including Alghero
