Lots of locals in Sardinia recommended that I visit the east coast of the island, claiming it to be the most beautiful part. I, therefore, booked a trekking trip to Tiscali. The trek on Monte Tiscali turned out to be an incredible experience. From diverse landscapes to forming bonds with fellow trekkers, every moment was a nice memory for my trip to Sardinian. The knowledgeable guide Sergio gave us a very smooth journey. He explained to us the history, geography, ecosystem, and culture of this region. Sergio is such a nice person. Before I confirmed my booking, he would ask me about my interest and what I would expect to see. He gave me the best trekking trip advice and route that would fit me. Trekking up Mount Tiscali revealed breathtaking valleys and traces of ancient tradesmen's paths. A major highlight was ascending to the mountain's summit and exploring a natural cave where local Sardinians lived in ancient times. The combination of panoramic views and historical immersion was nothing short of spectacular. This adventure is a must for nature enthusiasts and those seeking personal growth alike.

Well done Sergio! I have experienced a true sardinia trekking experience where you get the full package: walk tour breaktaking, historical, botanical and geological explanations, amazing view over the valley, chat with someone who seems like a friend. I highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful experience hiking to Tiscali with our guide Sergio. He was very knowledgeable about the history, plants and geology of the area.

Today we spent an amazing day to the nuragic village of Tiscali site with Sergio, the highly-trained guide from Jebelsardinia. We started the day with a short briefing in which Sergio prepared us to face the experience we were about to start: he told us about the main characteristics of the territory, the distance and the height difference. Through the way he was always ready to cope with our curiosity (this guy is very prepared relatively any topic!): he explained us many facts related to Sardinia flora, to che characteristics of supramonte soil and he delights us in the historical tales, cultural highlights and entertaining stories. Once we arrived on the top of Tiscali mountain we discovered the site and Sergio explained us all the stories related to this unusual, mysterious and so fascinating place. Once the experience was ending, we decided to spend some more extra time together with all the people who took part in this beautiful day, going to Sorgente Gologone in which we spent some more quality time visiting the park and drinking some good Sardinian beer together! I highly recommend Sergio as a guide and I’ll be back soon to Sardinia to experience other hiking options from the many of Jebelsardinia activities.

We had a perfect Day with Sergio. Nice Hike to Mount Tiscali. Sergio is really a very kind Person. He explained us a lot of the history of Sardinia and the plants beside the trail. By the way we love his open mind to talk about what drives us as human beings. We highly recommended him.

Sergio guided us with passion and lots of profound knowledge of the area, history and flora and fauna. He introduced us to the Lanaithu Valley and from there we walked a pleasant route up to Monte Tiscali. We learned a lot about the traders, coal men and the natural properties here. I see juniper trees now in a different light 🤗. The hike back to the car had also stunning views and charming passages. We were a small internationally mixed group of interested hikers and he always made us feel comfortable and included. Italian, English, French, everything goes. As I was also traveling with my family and small children Sergio offered us another suitable tour for smaller children. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play along, but we would like to do it next time. Sergio recommended some other hiking destinations suitable for smaller children, which we then tried instead. On top of it we got a recommendation for a lovely dinner. Communication was always excellent. Thank you, Sergio! We are looking forward to next time, as there is surely more to discover of this beautiful area. I would definitely recommend Sergio and Jebel Sardinia!

Sergio guided our group to the cave Sa nurre de su hoda near the Tiscaly mountain to see very special light effect which is occurs only during the limited time period in year. The cave itself is huge and amazing, but waiting for a moment and watching how the sun beam is shining through the hole into the cave is like a magic moment. Sergio is great professional guide, with deep knowledge of nature and history. It was the most rememberable experience in Sardinia. Thank you!

Nous recommandons vivement Jebel Sardinia pour la qualité et le professionnalisme du guide Sergio qui est une personne riche en culture, en connaissance de la botanique ainsi que ses connaissances linguistiques qui sont impeccables il parle très bien le français avec une grande élocution et prends le temps de bien expliquer les paysages la faune et la flore qui ne manquent pas en Sardaigne. Il a un goût prononcé pour les voyages les gens et vit de sa passion, ce qui en fait un guide unique ! Il est à l’écoute de nos demandes et sait s’adapter pour sa clientèle. Jebel Sardinia est l’agence à contacter si vous souhaitez vivre une expérience unique accompagnée d’un guide amoureux de la Sardaigne. Les différentes excursions qu’il propose sauront apporter à tous les voyageurs de différents niveaux sportifs, un trekking adapté à tous les niveaux sportifs. Pour nous c’est la deuxième année de suite, et avons fait 4 excursions et nous retournons l’année prochaine. Bon voyages en Sardaigne !

Wir haben die Tour zum Monte Tiscali im September gemacht. Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe von 8 Leuten. Die Wanderung ist anspruchsvoll, da es felsig und teilweise steil ist. Mit etwas Wandererfahrung war es gut machbar. Man sollte gutes Schuhwerk mitbringen (am besten Wanderschuhe). Alles war sehr gut organisiert. Sergio hat auf alle Teilnehmer Rücksicht genommen, sodass es für alle gut machbar war. Wir haben einiges über die dort lebenden Arten, die Geologie und die Geschichte Sardiniens gelernt. Sergio gelang es, eine sehr angenehme und lockere Atmosphäre in der Gruppe zu schaffen. Seine Motivation und Begeisterung sind ansteckend. Es war ein besonderes Erlebnis. Die Aussichten sind beeindruckend. Wir können Jebel Sardinia uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Wir hatten mit Sergio einen tollen Guide, der auch zu Flora und Fauna viel Wissen hat. Für die Tour braucht man gutes Schuhwerk. Die Aussicht oben und die eingestürzte Doline sind beeindruckend. Können diese Tour sehr empfehlen.
