“If you are looking to have the best time during your time in Cagliari, you need to book with Captain Matteo! He took us to 3 swimming spots and saving the best one for last. He even told us some interesting facts along the way. I also loved the chips and spritz he gave us. Even during the offseason it’s perfect because there is less boats and you get the take pretty pictures, as if you are there by yourself. When I come back, I will be taking Matteo’s tour again. He’s the best.”
