Global adventures start with a local perspective – that's our philosophy. Whether abroad, or just as importantly at home, the start point is the same; how to create a sense of well-being and enjoyment in the holiday, while benefiting the local people, economy and respecting the environment.
Walking is a great way to explore a country, travelling at a speed that enables you to be immersed in nature, meeting local people without damaging the environment and the culture.
As guides, we set an example, trying our best to leave the smallest footprint as possible.
Environmentally:
• We limit printing on paper and recycle as much as possible.
• We don’t buy over-packed products.
• We buy fresh local products, aware of travel miles.
• Our picnic sets are re-usable.
• We try to reduce water, energy and fuel consumption
• We use bio-degradable products as much as possible.
• Use our bikes for shorter distance travel.
From an economical perspective our policies are:
• Work with local people with fair wages.
• Buy local in small family run shops.
• We select family run accommodation, farm stays “agriturismi” and small “pensioni” with their own responsible policies.
• Never negotiate local prices.
Also, our group sizes never exceed 12 people, in order to give our travellers the possibility to experience Sardinia in a relaxing way. Our friendly and easy going approach ensures a good personal relationship with every member of the group, combined with being able to participate and connect with the local culture, provides a richer holiday
experience.
Travellers on our Sardinia holidays are provided with our Travellers Codes that encourage the reduction of water usage, systems for collecting, recycling or safe disposal of litter and relevant suggestions to minimise damage to the environment, wildlife and marine ecosystems.

Having stayed in touch since primary school, Andy and Paul decided to cycle around South America in 1994. Andy was a keen cyclist but Paul hadn’t been on a bike since doing his paper round. They didn’t have an itinerary and used military maps to navigate through the desert. They had so much fun and met such amazing people that they agreed to set up a cycling tour company together. Andy says their trips create a flexible and intimate way to travel and absorb the local culture and, whats more, you never forget how to cycle – it’s just like riding a bike!
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
