“We arrived nearly an hour early at the meeting place but our Tuk Tuk was already there and was he happy to set off straight away, a real bonus. The tour gave us a flavour of Olbia, Sardinia but didn’t require a lot of walking, perfect because my husband has recently had knee surgery. We enjoyed the tour and were happy to recommend to another couple of cruise passengers as we got out.”
