“Un’esperienza unica e autentica. Vivere davvero i Quartieri Spagnoli in compagnia di Francesco è stato qualcosa di speciale. Una guida preparata, ma soprattutto una persona attenta e appassionata. Il passaggio alla casa della Santa è stato uno dei momenti più toccanti del tour, capace di trasmettere un’emozione profonda. Il finale da Nunzia e Umberto è stato la ciliegina sulla torta: oltre al cibo delizioso, abbiamo incontrato due persone che rappresentano davvero l’anima del vico. Ti fanno sentire parte della loro famiglia, come se fossi un amico di sempre. Un’esperienza che consiglio assolutamente.”
