Muy recomendable. La guía Laura fue simplemente fenomenal. Desde el primer momento nos hizo sentir bienvenidos, explicó todo con muchísima claridad y entusiasmo, y siempre mantuvo una sonrisa en la cara. Su manera de contar las cosas hizo la experiencia no solo informativa, sino también muy amena y divertida. Se nota que le apasiona lo que hace. Sin duda, una visita para repetir y recomendar."

Highly recommended. Our guide, Laura, was simply phenomenal. From the very first moment, she made us feel welcome, explained everything with incredible clarity and enthusiasm, and always kept a smile on her face. Her way of explaining things made the experience not only informative but also very enjoyable and fun. You can tell she's passionate about what she does. Definitely a visit we'd repeat and recommend.

Fue mi primera vez con civitatis tenía miedo y súper bien! Cuando llegamos al punto de encuentro ellos tenían una banderita rosa con el nombre de civitatis, éramos muchos y nos separaron en grupos pequeños. La guía súper bien creo que se llamaba Rosa muy linda y amable. Los lugares que vimos wow! Translate this opinion into English.

It was my first time with Civitatis. I was scared, but it was super fun! When we arrived at the meeting point, they had a pink flag with the Civitatis name on it. There were a lot of us, and they separated us into small groups. The guide was super nice, I think her name was Rosa, very kind and friendly. The places we saw were amazing! Opinion translated.

Rosa ha sido sin duda la mejor guía de las muchas que hemos visto esta semana. Su labor no era sencilla: Coliseo y Palatino. No solo ha cumplido, sino que lo ha superado con creces. Su manera de explicar con pasión, conectar y expresarse desde la confianza y la cercanía hacen que este viaje nunca quieras que se acabe. Te deseamos lo mejor Rosa! Translate this opinion into English.

Rosa has undoubtedly been the best guide of the many we've seen this week. Her job wasn't easy: the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. She not only met the challenge, but surpassed it by far. Her passionate way of explaining, connecting with others, and expressing herself with trust and closeness make this trip one you'll never want to end. We wish you the best, Rosa! Opinion translated.

Excelente, muy buena, mucho mejor de lo que esperaba. A los niños les gustó mucho, fue lo que más les gustó de Roma, y lo que más recuerdan. El guia que nos tocó nos dio una clase magistral de Historia y de Derecho Romano, con un lenguaje muy claro y sencillo que atrajo la atención de los niños. Muchas gracias. Fue una experiencia que esperábįamos repetir y aconsejamos a todo el mundo. Lo difícil será que consigamos repetir con el mismo guía. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent, very good, much better than I expected. The children really enjoyed it; it was their favorite part of Rome, and what they remember most. The guide we had gave us a master class on Roman History and Law, using very clear and simple language that captured the children's attention. Thank you very much. It was an experience we hoped to repeat, and we recommend it to everyone. The difficult thing will be to repeat it with the same guide. Opinion translated. Show original.

Demasiado rápido hablando y haciendo el recorrido para hacernos las fotos en las zonas importantes …. Además de explicar muchas leyendas y mitos poco interesantes … en vez de informar de los lugares por donde pasábamos …. La infografía podría estar en mejores condiciones…..

Talking and touring too quickly to take photos in important areas... In addition to explaining many uninteresting legends and myths... instead of reporting on the places we passed... The infographic could be in better condition... Opinion translated. Show original.

Es más que recomendable coger un guia para esta visita y más si te la cuenta como Valerio, que lo hizo genial. Ponerse en el contexto de esa época ,bien explicado , hace que la visita se disfrute y valore más. Tres horas bien empleadas recorriendo los foros, palacio palatino y Coliseo. Translate this opinion into English.

It's highly recommended to take a guide for this visit, especially if you're guided by Valerio, who did a brilliant job. Putting yourself in the context of that era, with a well-explained explanation, makes the visit even more enjoyable and worthwhile. Three hours well spent exploring the forums, the Palatine Palace, and the Colosseum. Opinion translated. Show original.

Este fue, sin duda, el mejor tour que hice en Roma. Los dispositivos y auriculares eran de excelente calidad, se escuchaba perfectamente a la guía en todo momento. Recomiendo mucho hacer esta visita guiada al Coliseo, Foro y Palatino, ya que son lugares con mucha historia y se disfrutan mucho más con una buena explicación. La guía fue clara, profesional y apasionada. Una experiencia muy completa y totalmente recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

This was, without a doubt, the best tour I took in Rome. The devices and headphones were of excellent quality, and the guide was perfectly audible at all times. I highly recommend this guided tour of the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill, as they are rich in history and are much more enjoyable with a good explanation. The guide was clear, professional, and passionate. A very comprehensive experience and highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Realizamos la visita el día 08/04 y fue muy satisfactoria con Valerio, buen profesional y buen sabedor de la historia y no sólo del Coliseo, las casi 4 horas que estuvo con el grupo se pasaron volando de lo ameno de sus explicaciones. Muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour on April 8th and it was very satisfying with Valerio, a highly professional and knowledgeable guide about history, not just the Colosseum. The nearly four hours he spent with the group flew by thanks to his engaging explanations. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy buen recorrido, lo unico que agregaria sería un poco de tiempo para ver las maquetas e informacion que hay en el piso de arriba del coliseo pero visto el tiempo que duró el tour completo es entendible (al final creo que ese tiempo estuvo mejor usado para ver el Palatino). La guía excelente, sabía de todo Translate this opinion into English.

A very good tour. The only thing I would add would be a little more time to see the models and information on the upper floor of the Colosseum. Considering the length of the entire tour, it's understandable (in the end, I think the time would have been better spent seeing the Palatine). The guide was excellent; she knew everything.

La explicación sobre los lugares fue correcta, el recorrido es en una sola dirección, es decir no podemos volver sobre nuestros pasos, así que conviene tomar fotos de todos los rincones para no perderse nada. La guía Cecilia podría haber sido más amable al responder algunas preguntas.

The explanations about the sites were accurate. The tour is one-way, meaning we can't retrace our steps, so it's a good idea to take photos of every corner so you don't miss anything. Our guide, Cecilia, could have been more helpful in answering some questions.

Nuestra guía fue excelente nos relato todo de manera muy interesante y divertida, fuimos de poco en poco recorriendo los puntos más importantes del coliseo. A pesar de la cantidad de gente fue una buen visita, de igual manera con el foro y palatino, nos iba dejando tiempo libre en los mejores lugares para tomar fotos.

Our guide was excellent, telling us everything in a very interesting and entertaining way. We gradually explored the most important parts of the Colosseum. Despite the crowds, it was a good visit. The Forum and Palatine Hill were also great, leaving us free time in the best places to take photos. Opinion translated. Show original.

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.
