Glide along the legendary Costa Smeralda — Aga Khan's gilded Riviera — stopping at Porto Cervo's yacht-lined marina, the hilltop village of San Pantaleo, and panoramic clifftop belvederes over emerald bays. A private, small-group format means you set the pace among Sardinia's most glamorous scenery.
What to expect
Your guide collects you dockside in a climate-controlled private vehicle and heads north through the granite macchia landscape. Porto Cervo rewards with a stroll past super-yachts and the whitewashed Stella Maris church before you wind into the hills to San Pantaleo's Saturday antiques market (or quiet lanes mid-week). Multiple panoramic stops reveal the Costa's signature acid-green shallows fading to deep cobalt. Lunch at a hand-picked agriturismo or harbour trattoria is built into the itinerary on request.
Good to know
Book direct via ToursByLocals to secure Matteo or an equivalent vetted local guide. 5–6 hour duration fits comfortably within most Olbia port days. Confirm all-aboard time with your guide at the start; distances are short but coastal roads can be busy July–August.
