Ferdinando is truly a wonderful tour guide. He is so knowledgeable and engaging. It was the best money we spent on tours while in Italy. His background keeps it interesting. It can be very overwhelming on your own but having Ferdinando helped us see the most important parts of Rome. Absolutely a must!

We had two tours with Ferdinando and they were head and shoulders above any other tours we have experienced. Ferdinando is a wealth of information and his love for his country’s history, art, and beauty is infectious. His experience and archeological knowledge provided insights that enriched our time in Rome. There are so many more tours that he offers and I wish we were here longer to go on them. Hope to see you again soon Ferdinando, Renata and Marty

Ferdinando is wonderful! We took a tour of Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel with Ferdinando. He provides lovely gems of information that relate ancient times to modern-day culture. He is a pro and will help you follow all the rules for any site without any hassle. We loved how he kept us moving at a gentle, but steady, pace so our bodies didn't tire of standing in one place too long. My teenage sons enjoyed this tour and Ferdinando. We would definitely do a tour with him again. Next time we are in Rome, we will do the Pompeii tour with Ferdinando!

We have just returned from Rome ,my daughter who is a student ,my 77yr old mum and I and we have had the most amazing nearly 4 day stay . Ferdinando was recommended to us by friends who said he was brilliant and as we wanted to get the most from our visit we booked him , and I am so glad we did ! Our first tour was an evening stroll taking in Piazza Navona , The Pantheon , Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and more , the next day the Vatican City , Sistine chapel and St Peter's Basilica , and the next The Colosseum , Palatine hill and the Roman Forum . Ferdinando's knowledge and passion for the City and it's history is huge and infectious , it brought the City to life and has inspired us to learn more . The tours were an absolute highlight and had us talking about all the wonderful things we had learn't , I have even bought a couple of books to find out more ! Grazie Mille Ferdinando !

Fernando was the best guide I’ve ever had in all my tours of the world. He is knowledgeable and funny and obviously very educated. This was the highlight of our trip. Trust me, this is the tour you want. I’ve done numerous tours of the coliseum. None compared to this one.

Ferdinando was an amazing guide for our group. He is very knowledgeable and his English is wonderful. You can tell he is passionate about Rome and wants you to understand the importance of Rome's history!

My husband and I just completed the colosseum tour and it was incredible and full of insight and information Ferdinando was so friendly and helpful and made the experience worth every minute The whole tour was hassle free and I hope to do another tour while we are here

We had so much fun on our Segway tour with Ferdinando! We did it the first day in Rome and are so glad to have learned so much so quickly. Ferdinando taught us how to ride safely, tailored the content based on other tours we had booked, and took us to many sights that we couldn’t have on foot nor by bus. His knowledge as an anthropologist helped us understand Rome much more, and he is kind, helpful, and has excellent English! A friend recommended this tour that she had enjoyed as well. We are glad she did, and recommend it to you, too!

It was a joy to have this tour with Ferdinando as our guide. His knowledge, passion and experience of working at dig sites allowed for a truly exceptional tour of the Colosseum and Ancient Rome.

The most advantages of Ferdinando’s tour were a) he was always responsive ; when I asked something about tour in the planning phase, he replied within 24 hours every time. I could plan the itinerary without any frustration, especially on this most popular tour in Rome/Vatican starting in early morning. b) Tour driver was punctual. Because the tour starts from 8am, and the time is quite important to enjoy Vatican museum without crowded people. The driver who is Ferdinando’s business partner came to my hotel at 7:20. No stress at all. c) Ferdinando knew everything about Vatican and their masterpieces. And his behavior was very personal. We could enjoy 2.5 hour tour in early morning with less people. Thanks Ferdinando. This tour was highlight of my family’s 2 weeks travel in Europe. フェルディナンドのツアーの良い点はいくつか有り、a)返信が早い。何か問い合わせをすると大抵24時間以内に返信があります。旅程の計画段階では大変助かりましたし、信頼に足る人物であると感じました。b)時間に正確。早朝8時スタートのツアーに申し込んだ理由は、混雑する前にバチカン美術館を楽しみたかったからであり、そのためホテルからバチカンの送迎が遅れると具合が悪い訳です。実際はフェルディナンドのビジネスパートナーであるドライバーの方が約束の7:30より早い、7:20にホテルの車寄せに来てくださり、安心してツアーをスタート出来ました。c)フェルディナンドは博識で、聞けばなんでも答えてくれました。とても礼儀正しく親身になってくれたお陰で、家族全員がバチカンツアーを楽しめました。また彼の話す英語はイタリア特有の癖がなく、大変聞きやすかったのも良かったです。英語ができる方にとっては、強くお勧めしたいツアーと言えます。

After booking two tours (Sistine Chapel/Vatican + Colosseum/Roman Forum) with Ferdinando through our apartment site, we were so impressed that we asked Ferdinando to take us on a private tour to Tivoli (Hadrian's Villa). What a delightful experience! Not only is it so peaceful and beautiful at Hadrian's Villa, but Ferdinando made our tour very personalized and calming. He is an extremely knowledgeable Archaeologist with a Ph.D. and is also very kind. I only wish I had known all the different tours Ferdinando does, as I would have booked all our tours with Ferdinando while in Rome. I've already decided that the next time we visit Rome, I will ask Ferdinando to be our guide for all our excursions. Graze mille, Ferdinando!

The three of us truly enjoyed our private tour of Ostia with Ferdinando. Ostia is as impressive a site as Pompei and Herculaneum in many ways. And Ferdinando is an awesome and informative guide -- highly reccomend!

I had been to the Colosseum and the Forum on a previous trip to Rome, but this visit with Ferdinando made the experience a rich one. He is knowledgeable--there wasn't a question we threw at him that he couldn't answer. He shares the perfect mix of description and history to make the tour interesting and engaging. He is personable and wicked smart. He even held the attention of the youngest on our tour--ages 8 and 10. His passion for the history and the archeological significance of the structures and artifacts of ancient Rome draw you in. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for stairs. Don't forget to pack your patience--there are a lot of people who come to see one of the Seven Wonders of the World. I'm so delighted that we found Rome in Tours. Your visit to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Forum will be unforgettable if you share part of your day with Ferdinando. He will help you navigate the lines, security and the crowds to provide a quality tour experience. Highly recommend.

Our guide was Ferdinando. He was very personable, helpful and well informed. He answered our questions and took photos. he told more than the basic facts, giving some background context information as well.

We loved our tour of the Appian Way and Roman aqueducts with Ferdinando! This is such a peaceful, quiet part of the city (esp. on a Sunday). You can tell Ferdinando loves Rome and its history. He weaved such an interesting and captivating narrative of significant historical figures, ancient sites, and local lore. Ferdinando was also so helpful with our Rome itinerary recommending restaurants, can't-miss sites, and transportation options. We appreciate his friendliness and accommodation!
