Ferdinando is the best tour guide we have ever had!!! We ended up having a private tour as the other family had to cancel at the last minute. From the minute we met him we knew we were in good hands. He treated us as if we were family and packed so much into our tour. So many details and personal experiences were shared making our experience the best ever. He had tickets for the Vatican and Colosseum skipping all of the long lines. This gave us more time to visit the sights. He is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about his clients. He is so personable and made our visit to Rome out of this world!!!!
