First time and so satisfied! - I didn't think I could make it all the way and instead.... What a wonderful experience with Francesca Piu super good The archaeologist prepared in everything. He introduced us to a territory that, you hear about, but you do not know at all. The 5-star aperitif. Good Francesca and thank you.

The magical Saddle of the Devil - Exciting tour that made me rediscover this wonderful and unique area. Very interesting both from a naturalistic and archaeological point of view. All accompanied by archaeologist Francesca Piu, who made everything more magical, including the tasty aperitif!

A journey to discover nature - Today we visited this wonderful and suggestive place. We will begin to describe from the first moment. Arrived at the meeting place the guide immediately gave us confidence professionalism and a lot of enthusiasm that allowed us to start the experience already in an extremely positive way. She, Francesca accompanied us in this charming place leading us to discover myths and legends of everything our eyes could see without neglecting the imagination and historical notions punctual and careful. The aperitif with local products delighted our palate, accompanied by a good wine. Everything else you will discover along this beautiful journey in the experiences of nature that surrounds us.
