VISION

Using art to inspire the world.

“My vision and my deepest desire is to use art to inspire the world. I fell in love with Art History many years ago, even before my graduation or Master’s degree, for me, it’s the nicest way to understand human society. We study the past, so we can live better in the present and hopefully be more conscious about constructing together a finer future.” Fe Castellani 

CREATIVITY AND COMFORT

Seeking all the time to be out of the obvious, the visits are created to provide you a moment of discovery, surprise and joy! Yes, because as “known” as some works may be, there is always a way to surprise you!

Thinking of the best comfort during the visits, I can easily adapt to your necessity. Whether by practical necessity: being a group with children or elderly visitors, or as intellectually: from beginners, amateurs to specialists, visits are thought for everyone! Just come over!

 

FOR ALL

It is extremely important for me to be available for all the needs of the visitors. Therefore, in the museums in which I operate – and which have in their establishment adaptability to the public with disabilities – I propose to make such visits without neglecting the quality. That is, usually these visits need more time to locomotion, so I offer for the SAME PRICE, to make a slightly longer visit in order to ensure that the customer had access to the complete visit. For more information, click in “contact” and send your message!

UPDATE

It is with great affection that I keep my knowledge updated to bring you the best information! In any area, we need to update ourselves. In History it is no different, because it is in a constant evolution. Yes! New studies, scientific articles, lectures on works of art – that even if a work has been studied already – it can always bring new light and insights to deepen the subject! That’s why is so importante to choose a guide with an academic background and good qualifications.  😉

"Nossa guia foi a Fernanda e foi tudo perfeito, o Louvre é muito especial e ainda mais quando se tem uma guia tão competente e que fala a nossa língua. Essa visita nos salvou de uma fila imensa para a entrada. Recomendo muito."

"Fernanda was an excellent guide. She took us to see all of the key exhibits and shared a lot of detail about historical significance of each piece. We wouldn't have gotten that much detail by visiting on our own and with the placing being so large we would have missed the main exhibits."

"Fernanda was amazing. She knew in detail about the art works she took us to. She was engaging with us. Shew keep the interest of our 11 & 13 year old girls. Was enthusiastic and built up a great atmosphere for the girls. I had to use a wheelchair due to knee injury and Fernanda organized it and even carried it up numerous steps. At Mona Lisa she arranged for me to get inside the barrier in my wheelchair. She went at our pace. Her English was perfect."

"Our guide Fernanda was so knowledgeable and passionate about her duty to enhance our visit to the Louvre. Fernanda was so friendly and helpful when it come to any questions we had during the tour. I am myself not so experienced when it come to history ar art do I found it to be highly beneficial to have book the tour. The museum is huge and it would be very easy to get lost and/ or miss some of the highlights the museum has to offer. The tour lasts for two hours and then after you can re visit the exhibit's at your leisure if you have the energy. To book this tours a great ideia to get some background and expert information on the most popular exhibit's. Obviously, the museum is so big that two hours didn't feel like enough. Although, you could book to be chaperoned around for 6 hours and still come out feeling the same way. Would certainly recommend this tour to anybody as the fast track is good for beating the long queues also."
