They took us to the most beautiful private beaches with crystal blue waters. All of our kids from the ages of 10-17 said it was their favorite day in our entire two weeks in Italy. When my teenage daughter dropped her iPhone in the water, one of our guides dove down thirty feet and retrieved it for her. And it still worked! Beautiful, unforgettable day! You must do this if you are visiting Sardinia!”
