What the day feels like

What the tour feels like

The outing unfolds as a relaxed coastal sweep: hotel or meeting‑point pick‑up in Olbia, a series of panoramic drives punctuated by stops at a belvedere, Porto Cervo, the church of Stella Maris, Baja Sardinia and the rocky‑cradled village of San Pantaleo, then a return to the original pick‑up point. The driver handles timing and logistics while the audio guide fills the gaps with local stories and facts.
