It started for us with a 2hour drive. Up on arrival we didnt know where to go so we thougt we ask one of the people who sells tickets. They didnt speak english too well so it was a bit of a struggle. We could only buy a parking ticket there and they wanted to see our tickets for the boat to see which one we had to take. Unfortunately on the ticket there was no information according to the man so he was not able to help us. After some quick thinking we remembered to have read the name of the boat so we had to look it up and the man could finally help us. We got to the boat and another man checked our tickets. Here a woman jumped to it, she was called cecilia and she was our tourguide. At first she seemed really nice and told us about how to go on, which was really nice after the situation before. She also told us on arrival on asinara there were toilets and we had to wait for about 10 minutes so she could prepare the car. So we did. We went to the toilet, which was apparently everyones idea because there was a big line. It was all a bit chaotic as the mens room had to be entered through the womens room and at the womens room, one toilet didnt have a lock neither toiletpaper. But well, after being done we waited outside for our guide to come back. We had a car with another couple and the guide to ourselves. The other couple was italian an did rather speak italian then english, although they understood both. It was fine but cecilia therefore had to do the whole story in both languages. Sometimes i didnt notice she switched so i missed a few words but it was okay. She also told us her english wasnt too well, she said she studied 100 hours of english. We reassured her it was no problem and we could easily understand her and there was no problem. So the tour went on. She showed us a lot of places and asked about our interest on the island. We told her and asked about the animals and the turtle shelter Crama, which i was very interested in. She said at this moment there would be only 1 turtle (which is good for the turtles of course) and that we only could be there in specific time slot, of which she was not sure we would make it. We said we would see what happened and if we would not make it, so be it. The tour went on, saw some different wild animals and a lot of the prisons. When we went to the museum in one of the prisons (same thing happened later on in another prison) we got a bit of a time pressure. We had to see it within 10 minutes and then we would go on. It did feel a bit hasted. We also had a place where we were allowed to snorkel and swim and had a bit more then an hour to relax. Then we had to go back to not miss the boat. So on our way back, cecilia told the italian couple in italian that we (the english couple) were not responsive enough and she didnt know how to say half of the things she had told them in italian. I really found this disrespectfull as she could have said this to us and talked to us about it before going behind our backs. She might think we couldnt speak italian but that does not mean that we cannot understand a few things. But ok we apparantly were not responsive enough because we didnt ask at every 7th donkey we saw if it was a mooflon or wanted to photograph the 100th wild donkey we saw. So we tried to start a conversation about something near the place we live related to what she just told us before about caves and after the first sentence she immediately asked us to speak slower because else she didnt understand. When we explained slowly, her reaction was the same as the one to her own cave stories, she wasnt experienced enough to do cave tours. The italian couple at least seemed to try to get a conversation out of it with us. We got back to the boat and were out of there as quick as we could and drove back. Asinara is a beautiful island to see and learn about and its really beautiful to see them having the national park on it but the tour guide ruined the end for us. Its one thing if you have to speak a foreign language and do not speak it as well as you wished, but its really unfair to blame it on us and that we were the problem. So if your italian this is probably a really nice tour and recommendable but as a foreign person, im not sure if you should do it. If you can enjoy yourself in silence and only with the views and be talked about in an other language, then you'll be fine but otherwise i would think twice about it. Although the beautiful asinara and everything it has to show for it, its pretty good. Dear cecilia, If you get to read this: Please do not ever again say anything about the tourists, if you are not able to explain it yourself, especially not in an other language because you might think, they dont understand. Its really not nice. Wishing you the best.C5082KDmorganr

Beh che dire sono emozioni che ognuno di noi dovrebbe vivere…. Direi che sarebbe troppo minimizzante raccontare questa esperienza….!! Vivere questa esperienza con una guida turistica del Parco dell’Asinara e un sogno perché a chi conosce un po’ la nostra storia e si immagina chi e che cosa e successo li è da brividi e fortemente emozionante…!! Noi siamo stati fortunatissimi e consigliatissimi a scegliere Asinara 4x4 con la splendida guida ILARIA che vorrei sottolineare in quanto oltre alla simpatia e stata veramente molto esaustiva in tutte le domande fatte…. Quindi se dovete scegliere e prenotare una visita affidatevi indubbiamente a VERONICA…. la numero Uno per Asinara tour….!! Ritornando a noi è troppo riduttivo descrivere ciò che abbiamo fatto e abbiamo visto qui di invito tutti a testare questa esperienza che a due passi dallo stivale è raggiungibile in un battibaleno….!! Grazie Veronica….!! Grazie Ilaria….! Grazie ASINARA ❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈🫠dume-rutili

Unbedingt empfehlenswert. Die Insel ist sehr schön und unser Guide kannte sich prima aus und hat sehr viel erzählt. Highlight waren die vielen freilebenden Esel. Ein Punkt Abzug, weil es kein Lunchpaket gab, wie in der Beschreibung auf Viator angekündigt war.
