Nuestro guía ha sido Tom. Brillante en su exposición y en su actitud. Nos ha hecho la visita muy agradable a pesar del inmenso volumen de gente que había en el Vaticano. En cuanto a su conocimiento histórico-cultural, ha demostrado que lo domina a la perfección y, sobre todo, sabe exponerlo de forma amena y entretenida. No solo hay que saber, hay que saber contarlo. De 10! Translate this opinion into English.

El contenido se centra mucho en Miguel Ángel y la capilla Sixtina. Antes de acceder a los museos, la guía nos explicó con detalle la decoración de la capilla Sixtina, puesto que en el interior no se permite hacerlo. Una vez dentro de los museos vaticanos, se centró en las obras escultóricas principales, que permiten una perfecta comprensión de la evolución de la escultura antigua y renacentista. La guía era historiadora del Arte y habló en español con fluidez. Translate this opinion into English.

The content focuses a lot on Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel. Before entering the museums, the guide explained to us in detail the decoration of the Sistine Chapel, since this is not allowed inside. Once inside the Vatican museums, he focused on the main sculptural works, which allow a perfect understanding of the evolution of ancient and Renaissance sculpture. The guide was an art historian and spoke fluent Spanish. Opinion translated. Show original.

Rosa (la guía de la visita) una genia total! Muy entretenido su relato con muchos datos que difícilmente se podrían encontrar en la web. En cuanto a Civilitatis, me decepcionó mucho que me dijeron que me cobrarían en moneda local, finalmente me cobraron en euros y no los € 147 que aparecen el el recibo, finalmente en mi tarjeta me cobraron € 167, una vergüenza!!

Giuliafue nuestra guía, nada que objetar a su trabajo, lo hizo muy bien. Gracias Giulia. Respecto a la visita había un número de personas excesivas, no podíamos pararnos y no pudimos disfrutar de ella por el agobio que teniamos. La guía nos comentó que no solía haber tanta gente como ese día en esta época. Tuvimos la suerte de que nos pudo llevar a la puerta de la basílica de San Pedro sin esperar la cola Translate this opinion into English.

Giulia was our guide, nothing to object to her work, she did it very well. Thank you Giulia. Regarding the visit, there were an excessive number of people, we could not stand and we could not enjoy it due to the stress we had. The guide told us that there weren't usually as many people as that day at this time. We were lucky that he was able to take us to the door of St. Peter's Basilica without waiting in line Opinion translated. Show original.

Empieza en la puerta del Cine Giulio Cesare, allí nos organizaron para irnos con los guías, íbamos aprox 20 personas. Hicimos una cola rápida para entrar al Vaticano, museos y capilla Sixtina. Me ha encantado la excursión. Sobretodo por Bea, tan encantadora y amable. Ha hecho la visita amena y entretenida. Se ha preocupado en todo momento por nosotros, y ha explicado con detalle. Y para terminar nos ha recomendado algunas comidas! Si pudiera pedir con algún guía en específico, sería con ella. Translate this opinion into English.

It starts at the door of the Giulio Cesare Cinema, there they organized us to go with the guides, there were approximately 20 people. We made a quick queue to enter the Vatican, museums and Sistine Chapel. I loved the excursion. Especially for Bea, so charming and kind. He made the visit enjoyable and entertaining. He has cared about us at all times, and has explained in detail. And to finish he recommended some foods! If I could ask for a specific guide, it would be her. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos tocó como guía a Alejandro, un profesional muy atento y que sabía como dirigir un grupo sin molestar a los demás grupos. Ya podían aprender otros con los que nos cruzamos. Mucho calor dentro, pero todo es espectacular y merece la pena pasar calor para poder verlo en todo su esplendor. se hace ameno y al día siguiente es cuando te das cuenta del tiempo que has pasado en tu cuerpo. Qué cansancio jajaja Translate this opinion into English.

We had Alejandro as our guide, a very attentive professional who knew how to lead a group without disturbing the other groups. Others we met could already learn. Very hot inside, but everything is spectacular and it is worth being hot to see it in all its splendor. It becomes enjoyable and the next day is when you realize how much time you have spent in your body. How tired hahaha Opinion translated. Show original.

Las explicaciones estuvieron bien, pero la guía no nos acompañó ni dio mucha importancia a las salas de Rafael que creo que son unas de las más importantes dentro de los museos Vaticanos. Creo que se deben incluir y no incluir descansos. Por lo demás muy bien. Cristina encantadora. Pero deben incluir estas salas o decirles a los clientes que las vean. Yo le pregunté por ellas y ella me mostró el camino. Por suerte las recorrí. Translate this opinion into English.

The explanations were good, but the guide did not accompany us or give much importance to Raphael's rooms, which I believe are one of the most important in the Vatican museums. I think breaks should be included and not included. For the all very good. Lovely Christina. But they must include these rooms or tell customers to see them. I asked her about them and she showed me the way. Luckily I went through them. Opinion translated. Show original.

Demasiada gente, al guía apenas se le oía a pesar de los audífonos, por cierto incomodísimos de usar. Visitar la capilla sixtina fue un caos de cabezas con guías ondeando banderas, imposible disfrutar tranquilamente de las obras temiendo perder en cualquier momento a nuestro guía. El rato que estuvo el guía explicando las pinturas de Miguel Ángel en la capilla sixtina fue el más ameno, eso sí, bajo un sol de justicia y sin una sombra. Me llevo un recuerdo regular de la visita.

Too many people, the guide could barely be heard despite the headphones, which were extremely uncomfortable to use. Visiting the Sistine Chapel was a chaos of heads with guides waving flags, impossible to calmly enjoy the works fearing losing our guide at any moment. The time the guide spent explaining Michelangelo's paintings in the Sistine Chapel was the most enjoyable, yes, under a blazing sun and without a shadow. I take with me a regular souvenir of the visit.

El control de aforo depende desafortunadamente de la organización del propio museo. Recomendamos comentar cualquier incidencia respecto a los dispositivos de audio para que se pueda solucionar al momento. Sentimos que la actividad no haya sido de tu agrado. Translate this opinion into English.

Capacity control unfortunately depends on the organization of the museum itself. We recommend commenting on any incident regarding audio devices so that it can be resolved immediately. We are sorry that the activity was not to your liking. 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.

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.

La explicación de los distintos frescos de la Capilla Sixtina y las obras que nos íbamos encontrando fue magnífica. Translate this opinion into English.

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.
