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!

We highly recommend Jebel Sardinia for the quality and professionalism of the guide Sergio who is a person rich in culture, knowledge of botany as well as his linguistic knowledge which is impeccable he speaks French very well with great elocution and takes the time to explain the landscapes, fauna and flora which are not lacking in Sardinia. He has a strong taste for traveling people and lives from his passion, which makes him a unique guide! He listens to our requests and knows how to adapt for his customers. Jebel Sardinia is the agency to contact if you want to live a unique experience accompanied by a guide who loves Sardinia. The different excursions it offers will provide all travelers of different sporting levels with trekking adapted to all sporting levels. For us this is the second year in a row, and we have done 4 excursions and we are returning next year. Enjoy your travels in Sardinia!

We did the tour to Monte Tiscali in September. We were a small group of 8 people. The hike is challenging because it is rocky and steep in places. With some hiking experience it was easily doable. You should bring good shoes (hiking boots are best). Everything was very well organized. Sergio took all participants into consideration so that it was easy for everyone. We learned a lot about the species that live there, the geology and the history of Sardinia. Sergio managed to create a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere in the group. His motivation and enthusiasm are infectious. It was a special experience. The views are impressive. We can recommend Jebel Sardinia without reservation!

We had a great guide in Sergio, who also had a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna. You need good shoes for the tour. The view from the top and the collapsed doline are impressive. We can highly recommend this tour.
