Top Sardinia Multi-day Tours

We took the Unusual Costa Smeralda Tour without Guide. Everything was perfectly organized (accurate GPS tracks, transfers, luggage transport, bike rental, hotel reservations,...). As for cycling, Dolce Vita has created a varied route between coasts , islands and interior of the country. And as soon as possible, the route takes us on roads without too much traffic, it is very appreciable. We had a great holiday! Thank you to the whole team!

A group of 4 of us did Dolcevita’s self-guided trip, “A Mine of Memories” in late June-early July. Our trip was great! We enjoyed the routes (easy navigation) as well as the beauty and people of Sardinia! Alessandro and his team were very responsive and accommodating and helped ensure a wonderful trip.

Just finished the Mine of Memories tour October 2022. This is a very good tour and tour company. Beware of the mountains, look at the elevation gain as well as the mileage. Once you have a good grasp of the bike riding involved go for it. My wife and I were able to work with Dolcevita Bike Tours to add additional days off and customize our itinerary. With their local knowledge they helped make a perfect vacation.There are so many fun parts of this tour. The farm stays are wonderful. Everything clean. The food is plentiful and the very best you'll have. Our first night the food kept coming in true Italian fashion. There were a dozen plates of food that were served in one sitting. Good vegetables, anti-pasta, pasta, breads, meat, dessert, Limoncello after dinner drink, red and white wine and more. That's what you want when done cycling! Dinners not included but very reasonably priced.The routes take you through the mountains and along the coast, it is so very beautiful. Traffic was almost nonexistent and always felt safe on the road. Luggage transfers were wonderful, on time every time.Thank you,Stan

Simply Fantastic. From beginning to end the holiday was great ... tough but great. We had taken guided tours before but this time we wanted to go more at our own pace. There were a lot of riders on both guided and self guided tours when we arrived at the first (fantastic !) hotel but even so sorting the equipment and getting everyone kitted out went well. We had an easy ride the 1st day to get ready then we were off !! Sardinia is a lovely place to visit ... but be prepared for some serious hills !! Every day was different and we met some really nice people. We would highly recommend it and DolceVita as a company ... but be prepared for some long days in the saddle and for some pretty long, steep hills !!!

We spend ages looking at different cycling trips and we’ve done a fair few overseas cycle tours. Not quite sure why we picked Sardinia, hadn’t visited before and hadn’t used DolceVita either, but we’re so pleased that we did! Company swiftly answered any queries we had, provided excellent directions and transported luggage efficiently. They are also VERY GOOD VALUE compared to more well known operators. Sardinia has been an eye opener to our group of 4. We have cycled through tremendous scenery with outstanding views of the SW coastline. Frequent stopping opportunities at deserted coves and beaches. Some tough ascents but nicely contoured roads meant we weren’t tempted to get off and push once. Sardinia seems a very friendly welcoming island; we’ve had one of the best cycling weeks ever.

I knew it would be good, but did not expect it to be so good!The three things that I liked most about a tour organized by Dolce Vita are: 1. A thoroughly designed route that passed mostly on non-busy country roads through multiple microclimatic zones per day that featured beautiful beaches, pine, olive, and eucalyptus groves, sand dunes, and vineyards. (I doubt I would be able to plot such a good itinerary by myself.) 2. A half board supplement (not included into a basic rate) — the restaurants, the quantity and the quality of the dinner courses were just outstanding! 3. Welcomeness of Marco from Dolce Vita who provided a detailed tour introduction (I did not anticipate the in-person briefing as my itinerary did not begin on a regular start day of a tour!) and friendliness of hotels.I enjoyed riding without looking at a GPS navigator by following a supplied roadbook (route notes) attached to a handlebar, which I was studying and carefully marking out in evenings or mornings. I did not carry a backpack with me, as my rented bike was equipped with an easily detachable handlebar bag and a spacious pannier on the rear carrier.My overall philosophy was not to rush, enjoy the views, take photos at every turn of the road, have stops for swimming in the sea, take the detours suggested in the route notes and have picnics there! I also thank myself for: 1. Always having enough drinking water with me. 2. Having a plan for a lunch. (I carried some ham and cheese from grocery stores. I used to wash in the sea the fresh fruits and vegetables that I was buying from greengrocers and local farmers as I passed them by.) 3. Departuring from hotels rather early in the mornings and keeping track of time remaining till the sunset.I took a leisure cycling “A mine of memories” self-guided tour in the first week of October 2018 and the weather was very comfortable. If you decide to take this one, be ready for the zchallenging up-hills at the end of the second and in the middle of the third days.
