Ferdinando was excellent! Very intelligent and knowledgeable on all topics. The tour was very thorough and interesting. The best part was the small group because there were other large groups and they definitely wouldn't have gotten the same experience we had! Recommend 10/10.

We started early at 7:30 so we could see everything without so many people. He told a lot of information both from the religious and archaeological view points. Amazing place.

Alleine in der sixtinischen Kapelle wird man wohl als Normalsterblicher niemals sein - aber gemessen an den Menschenmassen, mit denen man üblicherweise die vatikanischen Museen und vor allem natürlich die sixtinische Kapelle "teilen" muss, bietet eine Führung um 8.30 Uhr morgens ein außergewöhnliches Erlebnis. Unser Guide Ferdinando ist bedingungslos zu empfehlen. Perfekte Kommunikation in Englisch, unendliches historisches Wissen nicht nur wegen seines Berufs als Archäologe sondern weil er einer der glücklichen Menschen ist, dem sein Beruf Bestimmung ist.
