El tour con Linda fue excelente. En un primer momento hubo un problema con su radio y no iniciamos hasta que todos pudimos oír. Experiencia espectacular. Da gusto tener la oportunidad de visitar este tipo de museos con alguien tan experimentado y que hable en español. Repetiría la experiencia si fuera mi primera vez. La explicación de los distintos frescos de la Capilla Sixtina y las obras que nos íbamos encontrando fue magnífica. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour with Linda was excellent. At first there was a problem with their radio and we didn't start until we could all hear. Spectacular experience. It's nice to have the opportunity to visit these types of museums with someone so experienced and who speaks Spanish. I would repeat the experience if it were my first time. The explanation of the different frescoes in the Sistine Chapel and the works that we found was magnificent. Opinion translated. Show original.

Los museos vaticanos son una pasada. Si vas a roma tienes que verlos sí o sí. La persona que nos tocó a nosotros no nos terminó de convencer. Rosa (creo que se llamaba así), tuvo una actitud bastante apática. No creo que el trabajo de los guías sea estar super contentos, pero aparentemente le molestaba que le preguntases cosas, contestaba cortantemente... no sé, quizá tuvo un mal día, pero por esta experiencia, yo le recomendaría a mis familiares y amigos contratar otra empresa diferente.

The Vatican museums are amazing. If you go to Rome you have to see them no matter what. The person who touched us did not convince us. Rosa (I think her name was that), had a rather apathetic attitude. I don't think the job of guides is to be super happy, but apparently it bothered him that you asked him things, he answered curtly... I don't know, maybe he had a bad day, but because of this experience, I would recommend to my family and friends to hire another different company.

Excelente conocimiento del guía sobre la arquitectura y obras de arte que conforman estos edificios. Tomándose su tiempo (sin afanes) para explicar detalladamente las obras más emblemáticas y su connotación en la religión a través de la historia. Recomendado tomar el tour si es la primera vez en Roma. Quede muy contento de haber conocido este gran patrimonio. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide's excellent knowledge of the architecture and works of art that make up these buildings. Taking his time (without rush) to explain in detail the most emblematic works and their connotation in religion throughout history. Recommended to take the tour if it is your first time in Rome.

Sin duda alguna, realizar la visita con un arqueólogo amante de la historia y del arte, como es el caso de Vincenzo, fue una experiencia increible, hablando fluidamente castellano y transmitiendo sus conocimientos y su amor por la materia. A final de enero, concretamente el día 30 quiero repetir la experiencia, y me encantaría que se me asignara de nuevo como guía. Translate this opinion into English.

Without a doubt, making the visit with an archaeologist who loves history and art, such as Vincenzo, was an incredible experience, speaking fluently Spanish and transmitting his knowledge and love for the subject. At the end of January, specifically on the 30th, I want to repeat the experience, and I would love to be assigned as a guide again. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía Vincenzo, no se si se escribe así, sensacional, estuvo muy bien. El problema es la aglomeración de gente creo que deberían, no vosotros claro, pero plantearse limitar las entrada diarias, no se pueden admirar las obras ni disfrutarlas. En la capilla sixtina los guardas no son agradables y nos trataban un poco como animales. Ya sé que todo esto no es culpa vuestra, pero quería comentarlo Translate this opinion into English.

The guide Vincenzo, I don't know if it's spelled like that, sensational, he was very good. The problem is the agglomeration of people, I think they should, not you of course, but consider limiting daily admissions, you cannot admire the works or enjoy them. In the Sistine Chapel the guards are not pleasant and treated us a bit like animals. I know this is not your fault, but I wanted to comment on it. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía a sido muy atenta aún que el tour es una locura por que estaba lleno de gente no hemos podido disfrutar casi de nada por que los de seguidas nos hacían ir rápido y a sido una verdadera locura pero la guai que nos tocó intento hacerlo todo lo mejor posible y lo consiguió Translate this opinion into English.

The guide has been very attentive even though the tour is crazy because it was full of people, we were not able to enjoy almost anything because the people in a row made us go fast, it was truly crazy but the guide we had tried to do everything best possible and he achieved it Opinion translated.

Mis recomendaciones pra visitantes: - Ir siempre con el tour para evitar filas y entender lo que se va a ver dentro del museo, solo pierde el sentido. - agendarlo lo más temprano y que no coincida con la audiencia del Papa para facilitar el ingreso a la basílica En relación a tour fue genial, la guía sumamente amable y una experta para explicar las obras, los artistas, y facilitarnos toda la información necesaria. Un acierto total ir con Civitatis aquí o cualquier atracción Translate this opinion into English.

My recommendations for visitors: - Always go with the tour to avoid lines and understand what you are going to see inside the museum, it only loses the meaning. - schedule it as early as possible and do not coincide with the Pope's audience to facilitate entry to the basilica. Regarding the tour, it was great, the guide was extremely friendly and an expert to explain the works, the artists, and provide us with all the necessary information. A total success to go with Civitatis here or any attraction Opinion translated. Show original.

Las explicaciones de la guía fueron muy interesantes.Intentó varias veces que pudiéramos acceder a la Basílica de San Pedro desde los Museos Vaticanos para evitar las largas colas interminables de la Piazza di San Pietro pero debido a que los miércoles y los domingos se celebra misa, el acceso está cortado.A pesar de la buena actitud de la guía, la empresa Civitatis debería informar antes de realizar la reserva de que este tour no garantiza la entrada a la Basílica en días de misa. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide's explanations were very interesting. He tried several times for us to be able to access St. Peter's Basilica from the Vatican Museums to avoid the long endless lines in Piazza di San Pietro but since mass is celebrated on Wednesdays and Sundays, access is closed. Despite the good attitude of the guide, the Civitatis company should inform before making the reservation that this tour does not guarantee entry to the Basilica on mass days. Opinion translated.

Ver los museos vaticanos un miercoles fue un acierto, ya que al haber audiencia del papa en la plaza de San Pedro pudimos ir mas relajados en la visita con nuestra guia Simona, a la cual le pongo un 12 sobre 10, ha sido de las mejores guias que hemos tenido, nos acompaño a la sala de Raphael que normalmente es imposible verla con tranquilidad pero al ser miercoles eso cambia, Simona nos explico cada detalle, lo unico que eche en falta en la guia fue ver la sala egipcia. Translate this opinion into English.

Seeing the Vatican museums on a Wednesday was a success, since having an audience with the Pope in St. Peter's Square we were able to go more relaxed during the visit with our guide Simona, to whom I give a 12 out of 10, she has been one of the best guides that we have had, she accompanied us to Raphael's room, which is normally impossible to see calmly but being Wednesday that changes, Simona explained every detail to us, the only thing I missed in the guide was seeing the Egyptian room.

Con este tour te ahorras la inmensa cola que hay para entrar a los Museos Vaticanos, aunque no puedes evitar la multitud del aforo. Pero bueno, con nuestra guía Francesca todo fue bastante organizado y sus explicaciones fueron ilustrativas y entretenidas. Me hubiera pasado más tiempo escuchándola en cada una de las salas. La Capilla Sixtina es el final del tour, realmente impresionante. Tras salir de allí se nos da la opción de entrar a la Basílica de San Pedro sin hacer cola. Translate this opinion into English.

With this tour you avoid the huge line to enter the Vatican Museums, although you cannot avoid the capacity crowd. But well, with our guide Francesca everything was quite organized and her explanations were illustrative and entertaining. I would have spent more time listening to it in each of the rooms. The Sistine Chapel is the end of the tour, truly impressive. After leaving there we are given the option to enter St. Peter's Basilica without waiting in line. Opinion translated. Show original.

An amazing experience enhanced by the extremely knowledgeable guide & the ability to skip a very long queue. Truly awe inspiring and so much to see & learn could easily have spent a whole day here. It was good to end the tour in the basilica & be left there to continue to enjoy at your leisure

Excelente guia. Se notaba que tenia experiencia tanto con grupos como llevando gente al Vaticano. Se preocupo porque estuvieramos juntos todo el tiempo y que nadie se quedara atras, e incluso nos explicó la entrada a la capilla de San Pedro que fue un extra. Muy recomendable.

Excellent guide. It was obvious that he had experience both with groups and taking people to the Vatican.

Excelente visita. Valentina, la guía, una gran profesional. No suelo usar visitar guiadas, pero desde luego todos nos quedamos encantados con ella. Fui con mi tía de 85 años y tuvo excelente cuidado de que se sintiera bien en todo momento. Sus explicaciones detalladas, pero sin aburrir en ningún momento. El grupo era de 30, pero en ningún momento se notaba agobio, más allá de la cantidad de gente que siempre hay en los Museos Vaticanos. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent visit. Valentina, the guide, a great professional. I don't usually use guided tours, but we were all delighted with it. I went with my 85 year old aunt and she took excellent care of me to make sure she felt good at all times. Their explanations are detailed, but never boring. The group was 30, but at no time was it noticeable, beyond the amount of people there are always in the Vatican Museums. Opinion translated. Show original.

Rosa, nuestra guía, estuvo excelente (divertida y dinámica). La visita a los museos vaticanos es muy exprés ya que hay muchísimo para ver. Una vez vista la capilla sixtina que es lo último del tour guiado nos dirigió a la entrada de la Basílica. Creo que el tour cumplió con lo que dice, pero me quedé con las ganas de ver mucho más Translate this opinion into English.

Rosa, our guide, was excellent (fun and dynamic). Visiting the Vatican museums is very express since there is a lot to see.
