My experience if not to use Viator again since they did not want to refund the tour when we could not be there at all

1.00We never got to the port. Oceania Bista cruise had a problem in Livorno and we never got to Olbia. I will never book another tour with this company.

4.00The tomb of the giants was very interesting, along wirh the Wells. Quite expensive but unless you hired a car there isn't an easy way to see these sights.
Don’t book this tour! They scam tourist and will not refund your money!

1.00I booked this online while on our cruise ship the first response I got was to change the time as they said they couldn’t take us at the time we paid for $200 US dollars because of a family emergency I then asked for a refund - MIRACULOUSLY they said they could now take us - when they sent the pick up spot I explained it must be too far from us and needed a refund they then ghosted me and stopped responding ! THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TOURIST DONT BOOK HERE! I will get my 200 dollars back I promise you…. It horrible to be ripped off while trying to enjoy your vacation! We did 2 other tours booked on viator and both were amazing! DONT GET RIPPED OFF

5.00Alessio is so gracious and friendly. There is a recording about each site but answered all questions I had (had many :)) A tuktuk is a great and breezy way to see the city. Had fun weaving through some of old cobblestone streets of historic olbia - a great way to get a sense of the city and city life as well as seeing some of the historic sites in and around olbio. Would definitely take another tour with Alessio.
Quiet and informative tour

5.00Great tour. Enough time. We could enjoy it. We had enough time to see the individual sights. The guide didn't stress us out
Severely underwhelming and expensive

1.00The most memorable aspects of the tour are that it was woefully under-delivered. We asked for an English-speaking guide for our archaeological tour of Oblia. Well we got an English speaking driver who made no attempt to talk to us, and who simply played (often too late) pre-recorded snippets of historical narrative. The tour was severely underwhelming. Some of the sites were not even archaeological such as a city park and an existing church. On top of this, for the money we spent, and the 35 degree temperature, the company provided no water.
Beautiful.

3.00Very gentle driver. Although we saw interesting things. They walk you around and turn on a recording explaining the few things you stop to see. Very expensive for what they offer
Best part of Olbia trip

5.00Our guide, Alessio, was very friendly, informative. He let us enjoy the moment , and we never felt being rushed. Since we didn’t have a car, this was a really fun way to see outside of the city center, and we enjoyed every places he took us. We also loved a Tuk Tuk ride instead of a car or a van. It made the experience more unique. Our favorite visit was the castle. Be ready to go up on the sharp stairs, but the view at the top is breathtaking.
An unforgettable ride through the ages at the rhythm of Alessio’s scooter
