Tour "Expedition Across Sardinia" molto ben organizzato e gestito.Itinerario molto interessante e vario sia per il percorso che per i paesaggi che consentiva anche delle interessanti deviazioni lungo il percorso.Le bici a noleggio erano perfette e le tracce gps, con relativo software, era precisissimo e ricco di informazioni.Strutture ricettive molto belle. Segnaliamo Agriturismo Sa Tanchitta... Posto particolare e tranquillo con una cena veramente squisita. Ottima anche la cena dell'hotel Edera.Unica critica la struttura Omu Axiu che ha visto tempi decisamente migliori.
Noleggiato una c-sport Bianchi per un tour autonomo da Cagliaro ad Alghero (presa a Cagliari e riconsegnata comodamente ad Alghero). La bici, conseganta con tutti gli acessori necessari (luci, kit completo di riparazione, lucchetto,...) si è dimostrata perfetta in tutto il viaggio. Un ringraziamento particolare allo staff del noleggio di Cagliari che sempre prontamente mi ha supportato con grande professionalità con consigli pratici e itinerari, sia prima che durante il tour. L'avere loro risposte precise e immediate è stato sicuramente un ottimo supporto al viaggio. Se la costa occidentale della Sardegna certamente si presta a questo tipo di esperienza, questo tipo di professionalità la rende indimenticabile. Grazie di tutto.. Irene
MERAVIGLIOSI!Quando pensi di andare semplicemente ad affittare una bici...(e che bici!) e trovi persone estremamente competenti e gentili. Grazie infinte Marcello e Gian Mario - super disponibili e pronti ad aiutarmi nelle disavventure da carta smagnetizzata. Siete speciali!E sicuro ci rivedremo per una delle vostre spedizioni - un abbraccio e grazie ancora di tutto!
Consiglio Sardinia GT per la qualità del servizio e dei mezzi, la professionalità e l'estrema disponibilità. Vivere la Sardegna un bici e con alle spalle il Team Sardegna GT é stato magnifico.
Una vacanza bellissima nel sud della Sardegna, luoghi ancora incontaminati ed assistenza impeccabile di Gian Mario e Marcello
Complimenti a questi ragazzi per avermi fatto gustare un angolo della mia terra che ancora non conoscevo.Genuini e diretto rappresentanti del territorio, mi hanno guidato alla scoperta di un antico sentiero da cui poter ammirare alcune spiagge nellazona di Chia, oltre il punto a cui sono sempre arrivato.Pranzo al sacco in compagnia di amici con una loro storia da raccontare e la nostra storia da ascoltare.Non vedo l'ora di provare un nuovo itinerario.
