Carmelo es un guía excelente con un gran humor, que hace de la visita algo muy agradable, sus explicaciones te sumergen en las obras de arte, por otro lado el exceso de gente y lo rápido de la visita provoca estrés y deja la sensación de muchas cosas perdidas. Translate this opinion into English.

Fantástico. La guía, Francesca, además de hablar estupendamente español (cosa que se agradece en un guía pues no todos los que hablan español lo hacen bien) es una gran conocedora de la historia y el arte y explica estupendamente, contestando con amabilidad (y conocimiento) cualquier duda que le planteábamos. Recomiendo esta actividad y si la guía es Francesca, más aún. Translate this opinion into English.

Fantastic. The guide, Francesca, in addition to speaking Spanish wonderfully (which is appreciated in a guide since not everyone who speaks Spanish does it well) is a great connoisseur of history and art and explains wonderfully, answering with kindness (and knowledge). any questions we raised. I recommend this activity and if the guide is Francesca, even more so. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad fue excelente. Valentina fue nuestra guía y es una bellísima persona y gran profesional que conoce sobradamente la historia y responderá a todas tua dudas. Mi pareja es sordo y ella ha estado pendiente en todo momento que siguiera las explicaciones y a todo el grupo igual que los demás. Siempre nos iba indicando y si en algun momento la perdías de vista por el auricular te iba guiando superbien Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was excellent. Valentina was our guide and she is a beautiful person and great professional who knows the history well and will answer all your questions. My partner is deaf and she has been making sure that I followed the explanations and the entire group just like the others. She always indicated to us and if at any time you lost sight of her through the headset she would guide you very well. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour en general es interesante la valoración me resulta un poco complicada no tanto por la guía que lo hizo muy bien sino por la totalidad de las características.. Creo que está excesivamente masificado de gente, no es posible disfrutar de lo que se está viendo.. grandes oleadas de personas que te arrastran.. bueno.. insisto en la buena calidad de las explicaciones de Valentina y su preocupación y rápida resolución ya que los audios no funcionaban correctamente en el grupo... el Vaticano umm Translate this opinion into English.

The tour in general is interesting, the assessment is a little complicated for me not so much because of the guide who did it very well but because of all the characteristics. I think it is excessively crowded with people, it is not possible to enjoy what you are seeing .. large waves of people that drag you along... well... I insist on the good quality of Valentina's explanations and her concern and quick resolution since the audios were not working correctly in the group... the Vatican umm Opinion translated.

Sobre la guía Laura y sus explicaciones fue todo excelente. La visita en sí muy atropellada por la inmensa multitud de gente, ejemplo el LAOCOONTE Y SUS HIJOS, sólo veíamos las cabezas y los móviles. No se disfrutaba de la visión de las obras de arte con tranquilidad. Avanti, avanti, prego. Esta visita debe ser de excelente para los amantes al arte. La guía maravillosa, pero las multitudes deprecian la visita hasta poder decir que mal. Translate this opinion into English.

Regarding the guide Laura and her explanations, everything was excellent. The visit itself was very overwhelmed by the immense crowd of people, for example LAOCOON AND HIS SONS, we only saw heads and mobile phones. The viewing of works of art was not enjoyed peacefully. Avanti, avanti, prego. This visit should be excellent for art lovers. The guide is wonderful, but the crowds depreciate the visit until they can say that it is bad. Opinion translated.

La visita fue mal por el tiempo y por el mal sonido de la guía. Pero ninguna de las dos cosas depende de vosotros. La verdad es que me gustó la exposición y el entorno es genial; pero no hay tiempo para ver todo lo que hay que ver, y salir de allí sabiendo que te faltaron cosas por ver no es agradable, porque igual es una ocasión única en la vida. No esta mal para tener un contacto; pero no para salir pensando que "lo has visto". Insisto no es culpa de la guía. Ella lo izo bien, o muy bien.

The visit went badly due to the weather and the bad sound of the guide. But neither of those things depends on you. The truth is that I liked the exhibition and the environment is great; but there is no time to see everything there is to see, and leaving there knowing that you missed things to see is not pleasant, because it is still a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. Not bad to have a contact; but not to leave thinking that "you've seen it." I insist it is not the guide's fault. She did it well, or very well.

Nuestra guía María ha sido un encanto, las explicaciones han sido estupendas, hace que la visita se haga corta. A pesar de todas las personas que había (casi que no se podía andar) ha hecho la visita amena y siempre ha estado pendiente de enseñarnos todo, de hecho si tenía que hablar con el personal para no hacernos esperar las colas...lo hacía, cosa que se agradece muchísimo. También le agradecemos que nos haya dado su teléfono y que nos ayudase con las dudas. Recomiendo hacer esta visita. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide María has been a charm, the explanations have been great, she makes the visit short. Despite all the people there (you could hardly walk) he made the visit enjoyable and he was always willing to show us everything, in fact if he had to talk to the staff so as not to make us wait in lines... he did it , which is very much appreciated. We also thank you for giving us your phone number and for helping us with any questions. I recommend making this visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

Giampiero es fantástico, se nota que le gusta su trabajo. Si que me faltó un poco más de explicación y detenimiento en la escultura clásica, puesto que hay piezas como Mitra matando al toro o Pericles, por poner un ejemplo, de las que hemos pasado de largo. Supongo que es cuestión de espacio/tiempo, pero en general muy bien. Muchas gracias equipo! Translate this opinion into English.

Giampiero is fantastic, you can tell he likes his job. Yes, I lacked a little more explanation and detail in classical sculpture, since there are pieces like Mithras Killing the Bull or Pericles, to give an example, which we have passed over. I guess it's a matter of space/time, but overall very good. Thank you very much team! Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita fue tal y como se explica. Tuvimos la gran suerte de tener como guia a Vicenzo, que nos hizo la visita muy amena y divertida. Íbamos con nuestra bebé en carrito y Vicenzo nos dio la opción de dejar el carro en consigna o continuar. Decidimos continuar con el carrito y él en todo momento estuvo atento ayudándonos a subirlo por las escaleras,al igual que otras personas del grupo. Un acierto total gracias al guía. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was as explained. We were very lucky to have Vicenzo as our guide, who made the visit very enjoyable and fun. We were with our baby in a stroller and Vicenzo gave us the option of leaving the stroller in storage or continuing. We decided to continue with the cart and he was attentive at all times helping us carry it up the stairs, as were other people in the group. A total success thanks to the guide. Opinion translated.

Nuestro guía fue toma . La verdad que cuando haces un tour guiado el noventa por ciento de esa visita , la satisfacción te la puede dar la persona con la cual haces el tour. En este caso toma es una persona que le gusta su trabajo y lo hace todo muy ameno se implica para que en breve tiempo lo entiendas todo . Sólo decir ....... Que nos gusto mucho y que las empresas de Tous tendrían que valorar para que siempre hallan profesionales que hagan bien su trabajo como es el caso de toma . Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was Toma. The truth is that when you take a guided tour for ninety percent of that visit, the satisfaction can come from the person with whom you take the tour. In this case, what he takes is a person who likes his job and does everything very pleasantly. He is involved so that in a short time you understand everything. Just to say...... That we liked it a lot and that the Tous companies should evaluate so that they always find professionals who do their job well, as is the case with Toma. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hilaire? Was an excellent guide, taking us to the right exhibits in what is a vast treasure trove of artefacts. The talk was illuminating and educative, and not rushed. Achieving non- querying access to the Basilica was worth its weight in gold! Would highly recommend.

Hace 3 años hice la misma actividad tambien con civitatis y fue mucho mejor, no por los guias, si no porque el recorrido de la actividad fue mucho más largo, más salas en los museos vaticanos y tambien tuvimos guia dentro de la basilica de san pedro. Hoy nada de nada y los cascos los teniamos desde la quedad, hoy solo dentro y se escuchaban fatal.

3 years ago I also did the same activity with civitatis and it was much better, not because of the guides, but because the route of the activity was much longer, more rooms in the Vatican museums and we also had a guide inside Saint Peter's Basilica . Today nothing at all and we had the headphones from the stay, today only inside and they sounded terrible.

Es increíble tanto el museo vaticano como la capilla sixtina y merece la pena ir a verlo. Nuestro guía fue Raúl, las explicaciones fueron muy buenas: no tiene nada que ver el ver un monumento x tu cuenta o que te lo cuente alguien que sabe y le pone pasión. Lo único malo es el exceso de gente y las colas, independientemente de que vayas con tour o no. Translate this opinion into English.

Both the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel are incredible and worth going to see. Our guide was Raúl, the explanations were very good: it has nothing to do with seeing a monument on your own or having it told to you by someone who knows and is passionate about it. The only bad thing is the excess of people and the queues, regardless of whether you go with a tour or not. Opinion translated. Show original.

Guide was very nice man, but sometimes he spoke very long (20 minutes on one place). During this tour we saw only a few (4-5?) rooms. If Vatican Museum is one of largerst in the world, maybe would be interesting to see more. Altought I enjoyed tour and informations were very interesting .

La guia Francesca era una gran conocedora de la temática, explicó todo muy bien, aunque no estoy muy de acuerdo con alguna opinión concreta, pero en general buena guia. Los transmisores de radio funcionaban bien si estabas pegado a la guia, a la que te separabas unos metros, se escuchaba entrecortado, la visita ha cumplido nuestras expectativas, quizás no esperabamos que estuviese tan masificado y no hubiese tiempo para ver las secciones con mas detenimiento. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide Francesca was very knowledgeable about the subject, she explained everything very well, although I do not agree with any specific opinion, but in general a good guide. The radio transmitters worked well if you were glued to the guide, from which you were separated by a few meters, the sound was choppy, the visit met our expectations, perhaps we did not expect it to be so crowded and there was no time to see the sections in more detail. .
