Hemos realizado el tour con Amina y ha sido una gozada, con un montón de información que ha hecho la excursión super amena. Hace 14 años mi mujer y yo visitamos los monumentos por libre, y como ahora tenemos a dos peques queríamos algo que los hiciera partícipes de la historia de Roma. Y ha sido todo un acierto. Translate this opinion into English.

We have done the tour with Amina and it has been a joy, with a lot of information that has made the excursion super enjoyable. 14 years ago my wife and I visited the monuments on our own, and since we now have two little ones, we wanted something that would make them part of the history of Rome. And it has been a complete success. Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo que mas me gustó fue la guia del tour, se nota que le gusta lo que hace y atrae tu atención ,eso hace que estés pendiente de sus explcaciones todo el tiempo. De caracter afable y profesional. Lo que menos me gustó, no puedes disfrutar de lo que estas viendo y hacerte una idea de donde estas porque tienes que atender a las explicaciones. La visita tiene un tiempo determinado y hay que cumplirlo. No pude disfrutarlo al 100%. Translate this opinion into English.

What I liked the most was the tour guide, you can tell that he likes what he does and attracts your attention, that makes you pay attention to his explanations all the time. Of affable and professional character. What I liked least, you cannot enjoy what you are seeing and get an idea of where you are because you have to attend to the explanations. The visit has a certain time and must be met. I couldn't enjoy it 100%. Opinion translated. Show original.

Empecé mal y no pude escuchar a la guía. En la página web se lista muy claramente que. No se debe llevar carritos de bebés. Por seguir la indicaciones cabe cargando a un niño de 2 años por tres horas mientras dormía en un calor infernal…. La cereza? Había mismo dentro del tour una señora con carrito de bebe y pudo usarlo durante todo el trayecto sin problema alguno. …. Muy mal decir cosas que acaban no siendo realidad.

I started badly and couldn't hear the guide. On the website it lists very clearly that. Baby carriages should not be carried. By following the instructions, it is possible to carry a 2-year-old child for three hours while he slept in hellish heat…. The cherry? There was a lady with a baby carriage on the tour and she was able to use it throughout the entire journey without any problem. …. Very bad to say things that end up not being true.

Cada proveedor necesita cumplir con unas normas en función del tamaño del grupo y la normativa del propio monumento que se está visitando. Sentimos que la visita no se haya podido realizar tal como esperabas, y que esta no te haya resultado cómoda. Translate this opinion into English.

Each supplier needs to comply with some rules depending on the size of the group and the regulations of the monument itself that is being visited. We are sorry that the visit could not be carried out as you expected, and that it was not comfortable for you. Opinion translated. Show original.

El día acompañó, ya que no hacía tanto calor. Sobre todo influyó la dinámica del guía, parando en lugares apartándose del resto de grupos de visita, buscando la atención de las personas, incluido niños. Abierto a cualquier pregunta. Es de agradecer su labor y conocimiento sobre la actividad. Translate this opinion into English.

The day accompanied, since it was not so hot. Above all, the dynamics of the guide had an influence, stopping in places away from the rest of the visiting groups, seeking the attention of people, including children. Open to any question.

Excelente tour, hemos aprendido mucho, no puedes entretenerte en verlo todo todo con detalle ni en pasar el día paseando, puesto que hay que seguir el itinerario y verlo todo en 3 horas. Pero Laura lo ha hecho tan bien y tan ameno que no necesitabas más. Una maravilla. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent tour, we have learned a lot, you cannot entertain yourself to see everything in detail or spend the day walking, since you have to follow the itinerary and see everything in 3 hours.

Hemos realizado la visita al Coliseo, Monte Palatino y Foro con el guía Iván. La visita ha sido espectacular, después de más de 3 horas nosotros hubiéramos continuado, somos una familia con hijos adolescentes y hemos disfrutado todos muchísimo, mis hijos se han enterado de todo y no se les ha hecho nada largo. Ivan tiene una forma de contar las cosas que te mete mucho en situación. Solo puedo agradecer el haber hecho de esta visita un día muy especial que siempre recordaremos.

Eramos bastantes en el grupo, y además, ajeno a Civitatis, eramos muchos en Coliseum-Palatino-Foro. La guía, Adelaida, sabía bastante pero sólo quería transmitir al público lo justito. Pregunté varias veces sobre historia de lo que estabamos viendo, las respuestas fueron breves y concisas, con lo que se me quitaron las ganas de preguntarle nada más. El recorrido también fue bastante justito. Una lástima, para una vez que entramos en un sitio tan maravilloso y el tour no fue satisfactorio.

We were quite a few in the group, and also, outside Civitatis, we were many in Coliseum-Palatino-Foro. The guide, Adelaida, knew a lot but she only wanted to convey to the public what was fair. I asked several times about the history of what we were seeing, the answers were brief and concise, which made me want to ask nothing more. The route was also quite fair. Too bad, for once we entered such a wonderful place and the tour was not satisfactory.

La visita fue genial, sobretodo gracia al guía Ivan, que demostró un ámplio conocimiento de la historia del Coliseo, los foros y de Roma en general. Además se preocupaba siempre que el grupo estuviese bien y cómodo, que nadie se perdiese ni se cansase, que las explicaciones fuesen suficientemente precisas y profundas para conocer bien el Coliseo y los foros y su historia pero haciendolas también amenas para que no nos aburriésemos. Ivan es uno de los mejores guias que hemos tenido nunca. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was great, especially thanks to the guide Ivan, who demonstrated extensive knowledge of the history of the Colosseum, the forums and Rome in general. In addition, he always made sure that the group was well and comfortable, that no one got lost or got tired, that the explanations were precise and deep enough to get to know the Colosseum and the forums and their history well, but also making them entertaining so that we would not get bored. Ivan is one of the best guides we have ever had. Opinion translated. Show original.

Visita muy recomendable. Nuestro guía, Fabio, hizo un muy buen trabajo y ayudó bastante para que la espera en la cola fuese amena, porque hay cola aunque no tengas que pasar por taquilla para sacar entrada. La zona del foro y palatino muy bien explicada, muy interesante y no tan lleno como el Coliseo que estaba llenísimo. No lleguéis justos de hora al punto de encuentro Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended visit. Our guide, Fabio, did a very good job and helped a lot so that waiting in line was pleasant, because there is a line even if you don't have to go through the ticket office to get a ticket. The forum and palatine area very well explained, very interesting and not as crowded as the Colosseum, which was very crowded. Do not arrive right on time at the meeting point Opinion translated.

Tras un pequeño caos inicial, todo fue sobre ruedas, el Coliseo está densamente transitado por otros tours con los que compartimos un espacio reducido, pero Adriana en todo momento ha sabido abrirse paso y colocarnos en la mejor posición para darnos la explicación del lugar con las mejores vistas posibles. La información recibida no podía haberse dado mejor dadas las circunstancias (grupos grandes, mucho bullicio al rededor, etc). A Adriana le apasiona lo que explica y eso se nota. Translate this opinion into English.

After a little initial chaos, everything went smoothly, the Colosseum is heavily traveled by other tours with which we share a small space, but Adriana has always known how to make her way and put us in the best position to explain the place with the help of best views possible. The information received could not have been better given the circumstances (large groups, a lot of noise around, etc). Adriana is passionate about what she explains and it shows. Opinion translated.

La visita guiada estuvo muy bien, al igual que la guía Elena que explicaba con mucha pasión y entusiasmo la historia del Coliseo y el Foro Romano. Lo peor, es que reserve esta actividad con dos meses de antelación para hacer la visita a las 10 de la mañana, y me llaman 15 horas antes del evento para retrasarla a las 12:30 con las temperaturas que había y con dos niñas. De esta manera no hay margen de devolución ni poder buscar otra. Es lo que tiene vender más de lo que se puede abarcar.

The guided tour was very good, as was the guide Elena who explained with great passion and enthusiasm the history of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. The worst thing is that I book this activity two months in advance to visit at 10 in the morning, and they call me 15 hours before the event to delay it to 12:30 with the temperatures that were there and with two girls. In this way there is no return margin or being able to look for another. It is what has to sell more than what can be covered.

La organización de la visita trata de hacer el recorrido de la forma más cómoda posible. Hay que tener en cuenta que el propio aforo del monumento depende de la organización del mismo. Nos alegramos de que hayas disfrutado la visita pese a esto. Translate this opinion into English.

The organization of the visit tries to make the tour as comfortable as possible. It must be taken into account that the capacity of the monument itself depends on its organization. We are glad that you enjoyed your visit despite this. Opinion translated. Show original.
