  • What happens if something goes wrong?

    On our guided tours, you travel in small groups with a local multi-lingual guide whose knowledge of the terrain, flora, fauna and history of the region is exemplary.

Loved the Sardina self guided bike ride. Would definitely suggest the electric bike for those who aren't regular riders. Stopped at some amazing locations and ride through beautiful towns. Good accommodation suited to the trip.

We had a great 7-day family cycle self-guided tour around Sardinia, Italy that UTracks oraganised. All went to plan, with great bikes, maps, and accommodation along the way. The whole family enjoyed it, and the beautiful scenery and beaches around every corner.

We had a wonderful time on this cycling trip in Sardinia! It was a great route with lots to places to stop along the way. So much good food, and all the accommodation was wonderful. Some of the roads were a bit busy for my liking, not sure if I would be comfortable taking children on those roads but for adults it was fine. A very enjoyable week- a highlight of our month in Italy!
