Era nostra intenzione tornare a visitare i luoghi Sacri di Roma accompagnati da una guida che riuscisse a farci cogliere da vicino la peculiare bellezza e l'unicità dei capolavori dei Musei Vaticani, Cappella Sistina e S.Pietro. Ferdinando si è dimostrato davvero all'altezza delle nostre aspettative di turisti curiosi e mai sazi di informazioni, rimanendo a nostra (esclusiva!) disposizione ben oltre i tempi concordati, fornendoci moltissime indicazioni artistiche e storiche legate ai luoghi visitati. Quello che in particolare ci ha colpito, oltre all'indubbia professionalità ed esperienza, mai ostentata ma messa a disposizione con semplicità, è stata la partecipazione ed empatia che è stato in grado di trasmettere: pur essendo solito accompagnare turisti in quelle sedi, è riuscito a trasferirci anche emozione e trasporto, insieme alle nuove conoscenze, soffermandosi a più riprese ad apprezzare con noi la bellezza di opere incomparabili. Ci ha inoltre fornito utili informazioni su altri interessanti siti romani, che abbiamo avuto modo di visitare nei giorni successivi. Consigliamo quindi davvero la figura di Ferdinando per visitare Roma e zone limitrofe, e ci rivolgeremo nuovamente a Rome in Tour per nuove interessanti escursioni romane.Un esperienza unica!! Ferdinando ci ha guidato attraverso le stanze della Capella Sistina illustrando non solo quello che stavamo vedendo ma arricchendo la visita con aneddoti storici e curiosità piacevoli.

We had the most amazing tour of the Vatican with many thanks to Ferdinando. We were able to enter the grounds ahead of the crowds which made it so much more enjoyable. Ferdinando’s education and knowledge of the Church and Italian history is incredible. We learned so much and did our best to take in all of the information he had to share. In addition, Ferdinando was very gracious. I am heartbroken over the crisis Italy is currently going thru, but it know I will return as soon as it is possible. And I will definitely be contacting Ferdinando again.
