Working as a freelance tour guide, after some years of training and working experiences in the Uk I focused my professional activities in my own native Sardinia.
I can introduce you to the culture of the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. I have worked with many local and foreign tour operators (Usa, Israel, Uk, Japan), cruise ships, institutions, local councils and universities.
I have been in charge of many delegations, helping journalists and university professor providing assistance and interpreter services for many projects.

Paola Loi - Personal Tour Guide for Sardinia
"Cagliari and Sardinia tour guide:
A good way to explore the city of Cagliari and the island of Sardinia is to go with a personal tour guide. I recommend Paola Loi, a licensed guide who is a native of Cagliari and speaks excellent English"

"Another option, and one that assures seeing the city's highlights including many treasures that a visitor would never find on his own - reserve ahead for the citz's premier art and history guide, Paola Loi. She skillfully navigates Cagliari's maze of streets and knows who has the keys to the closed churches; Cagliari's hidden sights don't remain hidden with her as a guide."
Best Things to Do on a Cruise Port Stop in Cagliari Sardinia
Stillman Rogers - Travel Writer and Author
"To best understand and enjoy the site, it is best to have a guide. The series Archaeological Sardinia has a book on Nora (Carlo Tronchetti, 1986) available at the on-site shop, but it is no substitute for a knowledgeable local guide. One such fluent English-speaking guide is Maria Paola Loi whose knowledge is encyclopedic and whose rates are reasonable"
David Lansing - Travel Writer
"Since not everyone knows how to properly prepare roasted tordo, as the song thrush is called in Sardinia, I’m including a recipe passed on to me by my Sardinian handler, Paola Loi."
Some David Lansing articles about Sardinia:
Timothy Nolan - Travel and Golf Writer
I write about travel, and so have been many places and helped by many guides. But none of them have had a country at their fingertips the way you have beautiful Sardinia at yours. I
remember well the afternoon we visited the Argiolas winery in Serdenia and walked the village square under a perfect blue sky. Cagliari is to me perfectly described by the throb of life in
its fish market. Best of all was the isolate village of Orgoloso, high in the Supramonte Mountains, where your skills with language and culture were complemented by your knowledge of
geography. We begin to understand the places we visit when we see their everyday routine, and revealing the everyday is your skill. Combining warmth, knowledge, spontaneity and
professionalism is your gift.
Thanks and My Very Best Always,
Tim Nolan

Sardinia can be difficult to really explore on your own since its language, history, and culture are completely different from mainland Italy. Paola gives the visitor an in-depth look at all the island has to offer and is able to provide experiences not always available to tourists.
