Lo que hace que desmerezca este tour es la gran cantidad de gente que hay visitando el lugar al mismo tiempo. Esto no es culpa del guía, lo sé, pero no da tiempo de admirar las obras y uno se preocupa mucho por no perderse del grupo en lugar de ver lo que hay que admirar. El guía, bien con su explicación, pero no llevaba banderita y en ese mar de gente, había que estar más pendiente de verlo por dónde iba, que de admirar las obras y el lugar. Por otro lado, fue muy amable y pendiente de todos

What makes this tour unworthy is the large number of people visiting the place at the same time. This is not the guide's fault, I know, but there is no time to admire the works and one worries a lot about not getting lost in the group instead of seeing what there is to admire. The guide was good with his explanation, but he didn't have a flag and in that sea of people, you had to pay more attention to seeing where he was going, than to admiring the works and the place. On the other hand, he was very kind and attentive to everyone.

Hemos realizado la visita con la guía Inma, ha hecho que la experiencia fuera de 10, no sólo en sus explicaciones sino en resolver cualquier duda que tuviéramos. Al visitar museos o espacios culturales tan grandes siempre vale la pena contar con guías especializados. Recomendable 100% Translate this opinion into English.

La actividad merece mucho la pena. La cola que nos ahorramos era de, al menos, un par de horas tranquilamente. Todas las explicaciones se agradecen mucho. Hay tantas cosas que ver, que al ir por tu cuenta abrumaría un poco, mientras que al ir con un guía sabes en qué fijarte y puedes entender todo aquello que visitas. Toda la visita merece mucho la pena, no solo la famosa Capilla Sixtina. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity is very worth it. The queue we saved was at least a couple of hours long. All explanations are greatly appreciated. There are so many things to see that going on your own would be a bit overwhelming, while going with a guide you know what to look for and can understand everything you visit. The entire visit is well worth it, not just the famous Sistine Chapel. Opinion translated. Show original.

Mariestela es una guia fantástica, muy profesional, simpatica y divertida. Conoce muy bien el sitio y la historia y tiene buenos trucos para coger los mejores sitios. No le doy mas puntuacion porque debido a la gran afluencia de gente y la gran extensión de espacio y obras para visitar se hace muy corta. Ha sido 1 hora y media exacta de explicacion de la historia (necesaria sino la conoces para poder entender mejor el museo) y despues todo corriendo y la capilla sixtina vista de pasada Translate this opinion into English.

Mariestela is a fantastic guide, very professional, friendly and fun. He knows the site and the history very well and has good tricks for finding the best places. I don't give it a higher rating because due to the large influx of people and the large area of space and works to visit it is very short. It was an exact hour and a half of explanation of the history (necessary if you don't know it to understand the museum better) and then everything running and the Sistine Chapel seen in passing Opinion translated.

La visita fue muy dinámica y entretenida, el guía hizo que el tour de 3 horas se pasase volando y nos explico incluso lo que visitar dentro de la basílica De San Pedro aunque esta no estuviese incluida. Lo recomiendo 100% es una buena visita para entender porque existe el Vaticano, su historia y la historia de los puntos más importantes. Translate this opinion into English.

Hicimos la visita guiada con Rosa, era mi 2 vez haciendo un tour con Civitatis en Roma, pero la primera del resto de mi familia. Me encantó mucho más que la primera vez, Rosa convirtió el tour en un viaje al pasado lleno de apasionantes historias y un toque de humor, que hizo totalmente amena la visita. Además, era una persona bastante detallista, ya que nos dejó todo el tiempo que quisiéramos para ver la Capilla Sixtina. Si se pudiese elegir guía turística sin duda sería ella, muy agradecidos Translate this opinion into English.

We did the guided tour with Rosa, it was my 2nd time doing a tour with Civitatis in Rome, but the first time for the rest of my family. I loved it much more than the first time, Rosa turned the tour into a trip to the past full of exciting stories and a touch of humor, which made the visit totally enjoyable. In addition, he was a very detail-oriented person, since he gave us all the time we wanted to see the Sistine Chapel. If you could choose a tourist guide it would undoubtedly be her, very grateful Opinion translated. Show original.

Aunque la guía se explicaba muy bien, se hizo muy corta la explicación y la visita. Podríamos haber aprofundido más en otras salas del museo y en la descripción de la Capilla Sixtina. Nos pareció que la visita es muy breve, superficial y básica. Nos ha sabido a poco por el precio que tiene la actividad.

Although the guide explained very well, the explanation and the visit were very short. We could have gone into more depth in other rooms of the museum and in the description of the Sistine Chapel. We found the visit to be very brief, superficial and basic. We didn't know much about the price of the activity.

Carla ha sido una guía espectacular durante toda la actividad. Su forma de contar la historia y de guiarnos a través de las maravillas que esconde el Vaticano me ha fascinado. Destacar el ejemplo de empatía y educación que nos ha dado en su trato a las personas mayores del grupo. Una actividad de 3 horas que se me ha hecho corta y no siento que haya faltado tiempo para apreciar las obras, pues su habilidad comunicando y dirigiendo al grupo ha marcado la diferencia. 100% recomendable.

Tuvimos la gran suerte de tener a Rosa de guía, una excelente profesional que sabe muchísimo y que explica todo de modo muy ameno y claro. Además logró tener conectados a los niños y niñas del grupo, algo que no es fácil ya que fueron casi 4 horas desde que salimos del punto de encuentro hasta que nos dejó en la entrada de la Basílica. El museo es impresionante, yo me quedo con la sala de tapices y su excelso techo, una obra de arte fantástica. Visita muy recomendada y si es con Rosa mucho mejor Translate this opinion into English.

We were very lucky to have Rosa as our guide, an excellent professional who knows a lot and who explains everything in a very pleasant and clear way. He also managed to keep the boys and girls of the group connected, something that is not easy since it took almost 4 hours from the time we left the meeting point until he left us at the entrance of the Basilica. The museum is impressive, I prefer the tapestry room and its lofty ceiling, a fantastic work of art. Highly recommended visit and if it is with Rosa much better Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía Tom, es dinámico en su discurso y sabe dirigir grupos. La visita, tenía un tiempo aprox de 3 horas y él lo redujo a dos horas y media, no entró con nosotros a la Basílica De San Pedro no nos explicó nada de esta. Sin embargo, si se recreó muchísimo de la capilla Sistina (explicación y visita más de una hora ) lo ví excesivo. Echamos en falta que nos hubiera acompañado a la Basílica y explicará minimo su distribución y q ver. En general, todo bien

The guide, Tom, is dynamic in his speech and knows how to lead groups. The visit lasted approximately 3 hours and he reduced it to two and a half hours. He did not enter St. Peter's Basilica with us and did not explain anything about it to us. However, if a lot of the Sistina chapel was recreated (explanation and visit more than an hour) I found it excessive. We miss that he had accompanied us to the Basilica and explained at least its distribution and what to see. Overall, all good

La visita a los Museos Vaticanos y la Capilla sixtina es un parada obligatoria si estas en Roma. Es una maravilla. La guía, Carla, fue estupenda, no obstante los audioguias que facilitó el museo no funcionaron y perdimos mucho tiempo en eso. Nos faltó un esquema de la actividad, el recorrido y horarios aproximados y terminamos agotados. Translate this opinion into English.

A visit to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel is a mandatory stop if you are in Rome. It is a wonder. The guide, Carla, was great, however the audio guides provided by the museum did not work and we wasted a lot of time on that. We lacked an outline of the activity, the route and approximate schedules and we ended up exhausted. Opinion translated. Show original.

Me parece la visita guiada más completa y mejor organizada de todas las que he realizado con civitatis en Roma, puesto que si quieres hacer en un día tanto el museo como la Basílica de San Pedro, te dan la posibilidad de entrar sin hacer colas. La guía Julia o Giulia fenomenal, sobre todo porque estaba de gente hasta arriba, pero en ningún momento dejó de explicarnos todo lo que conlleva los museos. La Capilla Sixtina lo mejor de esta visita. Translate this opinion into English.

It seems to me to be the most complete and best organized guided tour of all the ones I have done with civitatis in Rome, since if you want to do both the museum and St. Peter's Basilica in one day, they give you the possibility of entering without queuing. The guide Julia or Giulia was phenomenal, especially because she was full of people, but at no time did she stop explaining to us everything that museums entail. The Sistine Chapel the best of this visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

Vicente es el mejor que he tenido en mis inmubrables tours que he tomado, por lejos. Dinamico, entretenido, jugado, pasa por todo lo esencial (habia recorrido antes los museos y sé que Vicente paso por lo mas importante). Hizo el recorrido ameno, y mi madre de 70 años, se le pasaron volando las 3 horas, no podia creer el tiempo caminado, porque de verdad fue un guia excelente. Translate this opinion into English.

Vicente is the best I have had on my countless tours I have taken, by far. Dynamic, entertaining, playful, it goes through everything essential (I had visited the museums before and I know that Vicente went through the most important things).
