Atividade cumpriu o prometido com informações importantes para entendermos o significado das ruínas na história de Roma.. A guia Gisele mostrou-se bem conhecedora da história e nos guiou muito bem pelo passeio. Orientando sobre filas, ingressos, documentos, etc. Só achamos um pouco corrido, pois havia muitas coisas para ver. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity fulfilled its promise with important information to help us understand the significance of the ruins in the history of Rome. The guide Gisele was very knowledgeable about the history and guided us very well throughout the tour. She provided guidance on queues, tickets, documents, etc. We just found it a bit rushed, as there was a lot to see. Opinion translated. Show original.

Cher, mais visite de plus de 3h00 en petit comité en français avec énormément d’explications de notre guide Catarina. Argent bien investi dans une visite bien meilleure que celles que j’avais testée moins chères auparavant. Merci à Catarina. Translate this opinion into English.

Expensive, but the tour lasted over 3 hours in a small group, in French, with a lot of explanations from our guide, Catarina. Money well spent on a tour that was much better than the cheaper ones I'd tried before. Thanks, Catarina. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fizemos a visita com o guia Paulo (Paulinho), nos trazendo todas as informações e detalhes dos locais que visitamos, sempre com muita profundidade. Muito empático e preocupado com o grupo, se estavam todos bem e juntos. Esta foi minha segunda visita ao Coliseu, mas aproveitei como se fosse a primeira, tamanha qualidade das explicações do Paulinho. Foi sensacional, recomendo muito!

Olá, fazer o passeio com o guia e comprando com antecedência foi muito bom, evitando grandes filas e sabendo pra onde ir. Guia Paulinho muito bom, fazendo todo o contexto histórico. Lado negativo do passeio, é em relação aos banheiros. No tour que fizemos, só havia um ponto de banheiro e só dois banheiros no local. Sendo que passam milhares de turistas. Translate this opinion into English.

Hello, taking the tour with the guide and buying in advance was great, avoiding long lines and knowing where to go. The guide Paulinho was very good, giving us all the historical context. The negative side of the tour is the bathrooms. On the tour we took, there was only one bathroom and only two bathrooms on site. Even though thousands of tourists pass through. Opinion translated.

Okay, but somehow the names of more than half our party were messed up, and security gave us a really hard time since the names didn't match our identification. Okay, but probably not worth the cost that's added on top of the bare 18-euro ticket for entry.

Ir com um guia ao Coliseu foi a melhor decisão que tomamos na viagem. O nosso guia era ótimo! Porém, se você for a Roma com tempo, sugiro que compre os ingressos com guia, mas separadamente. Compramos o combo, mas quando chegamos ao Fórum Romano, o tempo do passeio já estava estourando, assim, o guia teve que correr para terminar, falando do Palatino e do Fórum muito rapidamente. Apesar de termos o restante do dia para andar no fórum, ficamos muito perdidos. Translate this opinion into English.

Going with a guide to the Colosseum was the best decision we made on the trip. Our guide was great! However, if you have time in Rome, I suggest you buy tickets with a guide, but separately. We bought the combo, but when we arrived at the Roman Forum, the tour time was already running out, so the guide had to rush to finish, talking about the Palatine and the Forum very quickly. Even though we had the rest of the day to walk around the forum, we were very lost. Opinion translated. Show original.

Guia muito bom, fala português perfeitamente. Sabe bastante sobre a história. Achei o tempo corrido. Ele fica mto tempo parado explicando e depois anda mto rápido pra passar pelos lugares. Mas foi ótimo, deu pra conhecer tudo. Eu que tenho dificuldade em caminhar rápido e subir mtas escadas tive acesso por elevador dentro do coliseu, o que foi ótimo e ajudou mto no passeio. Translate this opinion into English.

Very good guide, speaks Portuguese perfectly. You know a lot about history. I found the time to be running out. He stands still for a long time explaining and then walks very quickly to get to places. But it was great, I got to see everything. I have difficulty walking quickly and climbing many stairs, so I had access to the elevator inside the coliseum, which was great and really helped with the tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Mon avis et celui de ma belle-sœur: excellente guide +++! Trois heures de visite intéressante, amusante, sur in rythme parfait. Merci ! Nous avons vu le forum, le mont Palatin et le Colisée et son arène; nous recommandons. Seul bémol: le SMS de rappel de la visite avec l’heure indiquée à 11h alors que le billet indiquait 13h30 ; nous avons eu peur que la visite soit inaccessible pour nous, et annulée (déjà arrivé 2 fois dans la même semaine avec d’autres plateformes de réservation). Translate this opinion into English.

My opinion and that of my sister-in-law: excellent guide +++! Three hours of interesting, fun tour, at a perfect pace. Thank you! We saw the forum, the Palatine Hill and the Colosseum and its arena; we recommend it. Only downside: the SMS reminder of the visit with the time indicated at 11 a.m. while the ticket indicated 1:30 p.m.; we were afraid that the visit would be inaccessible to us, and canceled (already happened twice in the same week with other booking platforms).

Honestly, the audio device and the headphones not good, the sound quality is really bad, hard to understand the guide. The guide was excellent in knowledge and how she explained things during the tour. Her accent (not an English native), combined with the poor quality headsets make our tour difficult to understand.

We are sorry if you could not hear the explanations at any point of the tour. In cases like this, we recommend that you tell the staff during the tour so that the incident can be resolved on the spot. We will continue working to improve the service.

O nosso passeio com a guia Barbara foi maravilhoso, ela é uma profissional muito simpática, professora muito culta que trás visões além da explicação estrutural. Por si só o passeio é incrível, iniciamos pelo fórum romano e palatino, ela nos trouxe imagens para demostrar como era e assim ficou fácil de visualizar o local além da imaginação. O coliseu, sem sombra de dúvidas é o auge da visita, e como disse anteriormente a nossa guia era muito clara e o tom de voz não é cansativo. Amamos!!!!!!!!!!

My tour lady was amazing, knowledgeable, on time, and very funny. She waitied for everyone and made a point to answer all questions. I had to use the bathroom and she quickly moved to made sure I got there. She gave us plenty of time for pictures and also to seat while she was explaining the history of the Colosseum, gladiators, Roman Forum, Arch of Constantine and other structures along the walk. Also, she made sure we smelled the actual laurel leaves!!

Tour muito organizado. A guia Barbara demonstra muito conhecimento sobre a historia romana. Conseguimos sentir a paixão que ela tem em falar sobre o assunto. Maravilhoso! Una pena é que devidas as novas regras de entrada ao coliseu o tempo de permanência é de apenas 1,5 hora. Mesmo assim vale a pena todo o passeio. Translate this opinion into English.

Very organized tour. The guide Barbara is very knowledgeable about Roman history. We could feel the passion she has when talking about the subject. Wonderful! It's a shame that due to the new rules for entering the Colosseum, the time allowed to stay is only 1.5 hours. Even so, the whole tour is worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tudo muito tranquilo e confiável. Nossa guia foi excelente. Vi pessoas reclamando aqui que para alguns passeios tinha sido muito rápido, principalmente no Coliseu, mas no nosso caso passamos cerca de quase 3h no passeio inteiro. Muito proveitoso. A única coisa que achei que poderia melhorar é a identificação da empresa que vai fazer o passeio. Cheguei procurando por pessoas uniformizadas com as cores da Civitatis e não achei ninguém. Tive de sair perguntando pro pessoal no local de encontro. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything very calm and reliable. Our guide was excellent. I saw people complaining here that for some tours it was too quick, especially at the Coliseum, but in our case we spent almost 3 hours on the entire tour. Very useful. The only thing I thought could improve is the identification of the company that will provide the tour. I arrived looking for people uniformed in Civitatis colors and found no one. I had to go out and ask the people at the meeting place. Opinion translated. Show original.

A atividade foi boa, em se tratandode conteúdo. No entanto, o Stefano fez um percurso saindo do ponto de encontro para a entrada do Coliseu conduzindo o grupo pela avenida, costeando um alambrado. Achei um risco às pessoas. Poderia seguir pela calçada do lado oposto da rua. Ele também poderia privilegiar paradas em pontos com sombras. O sol estava muito forte e é preciso ter esta sensibilidade.

O passeio foi muito bom, bem explicado, o guia soube passar muito conhecimento de forma divertida. O inconveniente que enfrentamos foi no final, pois estava muito quente e a explicação final foi num local totalmente exposto no sol, quando poderia ter sido feita num espaço de sombra e com mais vento. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was very good, well explained, the guide knew how to convey a lot of knowledge in a fun way. The inconvenience we faced was at the end, as it was very hot and the final explanation was in a place completely exposed to the sun, when it could have been done in a shaded space and with more wind.

Pagamos mais caro pra fazer com a Arena de Gladiadores e não teve. Nosso tour foi Coliseo, palatino e fora Romano. A guia foi maravilhosa, mas nos sentimos enganados pq vende-se um tour e faz-se outro. Translate this opinion into English.

We paid more to do it with the Gladiators Arena and it didn't happen. Our tour was Coliseum, Palatine and Roman outside. The guide was wonderful, but we felt deceived because they sell one tour and take another. Opinion translated. Show original.
