Bien en general, íbamos con un niño y carrito y sabíamos la “dificultad” del tour, pero la persona de civitatis fuera aún del recito me indica que es muy incómodo para nosotros (el Carro se pliega y queda como un bolso) y también para los demás con lo que supone esquivar el carro. Me dice que “será muy difícil para todos” . Llegamos a pensar en no entrar, finalmente entramos con el carro plegado.y había decenas de carros abiertos sin problema. El guía un 10, persona de civitatis un amargado. Translate this opinion into English.

Overall, it was good. We were traveling with a child and a stroller, and we knew the "difficulty" of the tour. However, the Civitatis representative, who was still outside the venue, told me it would be very uncomfortable for us (the stroller folds up and becomes like a bag), and also for others, having to dodge the stroller. She told me "it will be very difficult for everyone." We even considered not going in, but in the end, we went in with the stroller folded up, and there were dozens of open strollers without any problems. The guide was a 10, and the Civitatis representative was a bitter person. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour fue perfecto, no se hace largo en ningún momento. Todo esto gracias a Elisa, qué gran guía, ojalá vuelva a coincidir con ella!!!! Es encantadora, arqueóloga y sabe muchísimo, su español es perfecto y explica todo perfecto. Incluso cuando estás yendo de un lugar a otro, va contando anécdotas o partes de la historia. A este tour y sobre todo a esta guía le pongo un 10. Súper recomendado. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was perfect; it never felt long. All thanks to Elisa, what a great guide! I hope I work with her again! She's charming, an archaeologist, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her Spanish is perfect, and she explains everything perfectly. Even when you're traveling from one place to another, she shares anecdotes and bits of history. I give this tour, and especially this guide, a 10. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita no fue como esperábamos. La guia bien pero como es arqueóloga demasiada información de las construcciones y materiales sin dejar descanso para que hicieramos preguntas. Tampoco nos dió explicaciones de la vida de los gladiadores y sus luchas que era lo que nos interesaba. Demasiada gente en el Coliseo , provocaba momentos que no escuchábamos nuestros auriculares y si a otros grupos. Se nos hizo muy largo por las colas . Por el precio que pagamos, no llegó a nuestras expectativas.

The tour wasn't what we expected. The guide was good, but since she's an archaeologist, she provided too much information about the buildings and materials, leaving no time for us to ask questions. She also didn't explain the lives of the gladiators and their fights, which was what we were most interested in. The Colosseum was so crowded that we couldn't hear our headphones, but instead heard other groups. The lines seemed very long. For the price we paid, it didn't meet our expectations.

En un viaje anterior conocí el coliseo por mi cuenta. Ahora me decidí y contraté una visita guiada con Civitatis y Elisa como guía. Un lujo en cuanto a conocimiento y predisposición . Hablando perfecto y fluido español, con profundidad en geología e historia nos brindo una experiencia muy rica en todo sentido!!. He aprendido que si bien la magnífica estructura arquitectónica del monumento habla por si misma, profundizar el conocimiento lo hace doblemente COLOSAL!! PARA NO PERDERSELO Translate this opinion into English.

On a previous trip, I had explored the Colosseum on my own. Now, I decided to book a guided tour with Civitatis, with Elisa as my guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She spoke perfect and fluent Spanish, with a deep understanding of geology and history, and gave us a truly enriching experience! I've learned that while the monument's magnificent architectural structure speaks for itself, a deeper understanding makes it doubly colossal! NOT TO BE MISSED! Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita del Coliseo fue maravillosa, Valerio nos hizo una explicación extraordinaria de todo lo ocurrido en la Roma antigua. Nos resolvió todas nuestras dudas, la visita contratada era de 3 horas y se extendió sobradamente sin importarle acabar más tarde de la hora contratada. Un 10 para las explicaciones recibidas. Fue un placer tener esas horas de conversación con él. Valerio hizo muy agradable un momento que se puede convertir en insoportable si la persona no es la adecuada. Gracias. Translate this opinion into English.

The Colosseum tour was wonderful. Valerio gave us an extraordinary explanation of everything that happened in ancient Rome. He answered all our questions. The tour was booked for three hours, and he extended it to ample length, not minding the late check-in. A 10 for the explanations we received. It was a pleasure to spend those hours talking with him. Valerio made a moment that can become unbearable if the person isn't the right person very enjoyable. Thank you. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour estuvo correcto, la guía Irene explicó todo con mucho detalle e hizo hincapie en cosas que realmente eran importantes e interesantes de saber. Lo unico es que si querés quedarte un rato más en el coliseo... al estar primero en el tour... ya luego de que salís no podés ingresar. Estaría bueno sumar la chance de poder volver... porque el tour termina en el foro y tmb ahi es interesante quedarse a recorrer. Gracias, recomiendo el tour. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was excellent. The guide, Irene, explained everything in great detail and emphasized things that were truly important and interesting to know. The only thing is that if you want to stay a little longer in the Colosseum, since you're the first person on the tour, you can't get back in after you leave. It would be nice to have the chance to return because the tour ends at the forum, and it's also interesting to stay and explore there. Thank you, I recommend the tour. Opinion translated.

Hicimos el tour el sábado por la mañana con Julieta, y la verdad es que salimos muy contentos. Julieta se preocupó todo el tiempo por el grupo, a pesar de las aglomeraciones y el mal tiempo que nos hizo, pues empezamos el tour lloviendo. Sus explicaciones fueron super interesantes y a pesar de ser un tour de 3h con bastantes desplazamientos, lo hizo muy ameno y no dejó de hablar y darnos información en ningún momento. Muy contentos con la experiencia;) Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour on Saturday morning with Julieta, and we were truly delighted. Julieta took great care of the group the entire time, despite the crowds and the bad weather, as it was raining when we started the tour. Her explanations were incredibly interesting, and despite the 3-hour tour with a fair amount of travel, she made it very enjoyable and never stopped talking and giving us information. We were very happy with the experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

El punto de encuentro fue facilísimo de ubicar y el personal muy solicito. Asimismo aunque con esfuerzo por su garganta lastimada la guía Matilde, con sus anécdotas, conocimiento y las imágenes con las que apoya la explicación ayudaron mucho a tener un contexto más explícito de lo que se observó durante el recorrido . Translate this opinion into English.

The meeting point was very easy to locate, and the staff was very helpful. Although it was difficult due to a sore throat, our guide, Matilde, with her anecdotes, knowledge, and the images she used to support her explanation, greatly helped provide a more explicit context for what we saw during the tour.

Interesante y extenso tour por el Coliseo y Foro Palatino. Nuestra guía, Matilde, nos dio muchos datos históricos que sirven para poner en contexto todo lo que hubo construido. Mucho que ver, el Coliseo impresiona así como el Palatino. Imprescindible si se viene a visitar Roma. Translate this opinion into English.

Claramente ver el Coliseo sin nadie que te lo explique, no es lo mismo. Pero es que además, en nuestro caso tuvimos una guía muy buena. Laura B es muy profesional y simpática. Nos lo contaba todo con lujo de detalles. Nos dejaba tiempo para ver las cosas, atendía todas las preguntas e hizo muy amena la visita. Cuando finalizó el Tour, no nos habíamos dado cuenta que ya habían pasado casi tres horas y media. Translate this opinion into English.

Clearly, seeing the Colosseum without anyone to explain it to you isn't the same. But in our case, we had a very good guide. Laura B. is very professional and friendly. She explained everything in great detail. She gave us time to see everything, answered all our questions, and made the visit very enjoyable. By the time the tour ended, we hadn't realized that almost three and a half hours had already passed. Opinion translated. Show original.

Increíble!!! Impresionante. El conocimiento, la pasión y la generosidad de Vicenzo nos dejó sin palabras ( las uso todas el, je). Su profesion, arqueólogo, hace de la visita un real viaje al pasado, dónde descubrir los tesoros del coliseo y todo el parque arqueológico. Urgamos en las alcantarillas. Nos conecto con lo viejo y lo nuevo de Roma... " Porque roma coexiste con El pasado" . Es una visita imperdible!! Translate this opinion into English.

Incredible!!! Impressive. Vicenzo's knowledge, passion and generosity left us speechless (he used them all, haha). His profession, archaeologist, makes the visit a real journey into the past, where you can discover the treasures of the Colosseum and the entire archaeological park. We dug into the sewers. He connected us with the old and the new of Rome... "Because Rome coexists with the past." It is a must-see!! Opinion translated. Show original.
