Nuestra Visita con Alicia ha sido increíble. Es una guía espectacular y se nota que es una profesional de los pies a la cabeza. Las explicaciones didácticas y la manera de contar han sido geniales, no hemos dejado de prestar atención en 3 horas de visita. Si volvemos, ojalá tenerla de guía otra vez, nos hemos quedado con ganas de más de ella y sin duda 10/10. Nos ha sabido fatal que ella haya cargado injustamente con la multa por la supuesta pérdida de una audioguía (todo el grupo la entregamos) Translate this opinion into English.

Our visit with Alicia was incredible. She is a spectacular guide and you can tell she is a professional from head to toe. The educational explanations and the way she told the story were great, we did not stop paying attention during the 3 hours of the visit. If we go back, I hope to have her as a guide again, we have been left wanting more from her and without a doubt 10/10. We were disappointed that she was unfairly charged with the fine for the alleged loss of an audio guide (the whole group handed it in). Opinion translated. Show original.

Hemos disfrutado mucho de la visita y de las explicaciones de nuestra guía, enhorabuena para Francesca por su gran trabajo. El único pero que le ponemos a la actividad ha sido la gran cantidad de gente que había a la vez en los Museos Vaticanos (entendemos que es algo completamente ajeno a vosotros). Translate this opinion into English.

We really enjoyed the visit and the explanations given by our guide. Congratulations to Francesca for her great work. The only negative thing we have about the activity was the large number of people who were in the Vatican Museums at the same time (we understand that this is something completely unrelated to you).

Merece la pena hacer la visita guiada, en un sitio tan grande y con tantas cosas es fácil perderse lo importante, así que al llevarte y explicarte directamente se pierde poco tiempo. Nuestra guía Elena, muy agradable, preparada y súper atenta. Además hacía algún chascarrillo y contaba anécdotas muy interesantes, haciendo amena la visita de más de tres horas incluso a adolescentes. Translate this opinion into English.

It is worth taking the guided tour, in such a large place with so many things it is easy to miss the important things, so by taking you and explaining them directly you don't waste much time. Our guide Elena was very pleasant, prepared and super attentive. She also made some jokes and told very interesting anecdotes, making the visit of more than three hours enjoyable even for teenagers.

Our guide, Bernadette, was enthusiastic, considerate, extremely well prepared, and amenable to questions. She provided an excellent presentation before entering the Sistine Chapel that made the experience far better than entering uninformed. Outstanding experience!

No me gustó el guía. No explicó bien, fue muy superficial y no profundizó ni en la historia ni en el arte de las obras. Una pena pagar y llegar hasta ahí para irte con la sensación de no quedarte con las explicaciones adecuadas. No cumplió mis expectativas.

I didn't like the guide. He didn't explain things well, he was very superficial and didn't go into depth either in the history or the art of the works. It's a shame to pay and get there only to leave with the feeling that you didn't get the proper explanations. He didn't meet my expectations.

Había realizado esta visita guiada con Civitatis hace unos años quedando muy satisfecho por lo que volví a contratar. No obstante, en esta ocasión eché en falta el paso por varias estancias que si visitamos en la anterior visita, como por ejemplo las "Estancias de Rafael" donde se expone, entre otras, "La Escuela de Atenas". Tuvimos la sensación de que se acortó el itinerario por lo que quedamos algo defraudados. Lo achacamos al tiempo que perdimos por un problema en el micrófono de la guía.

I had done this guided tour with Civitatis a few years ago and was very satisfied with it, so I booked it again. However, on this occasion I missed going through several rooms that we had visited on the previous visit, such as the "Raphael Rooms" where, among others, "The School of Athens" is exhibited. We had the feeling that the itinerary was shortened, so we were somewhat disappointed. We blamed this on the time we lost due to a problem with the guide's microphone.

Fue con el guía Alessandro! La verdad una maravilla de persona y un guía que sabe demasiado sobre la historia del Vaticano y de Ra sobre todo, fue algo demasiado interesante y entendible sobre todo, interactuo con todas las personas de nuestra familia porque venían niños, adolescentes y adultos. Siempre fue claro en cómo funcionan las cosas y cómo se debía hacer el recorrido, su carácter muy muy bueno y acertivo. Un guía muy recomendable Translate this opinion into English.

Went with the guide Alessandro! He is a wonderful person and a guide who knows a lot about the history of the Vatican and Ra above all, it was something very interesting and understandable above all, he interacted with all the people in our family because children, teenagers and adults came.

Vimos el museo del Vaticano la capilla y la basílica De San Pedro. Al final de los museos del Vaticano se ve poquito y muy rápido, aunque como vas con guía alguna información sabes de más. Para ir a la capilla no hicimos la cola al ir en grupo con guías

We saw the Vatican Museum, the chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. At the end of the Vatican Museums you see very little and very quickly, although since you go with a guide you know some more information. To go to the chapel we didn't have to wait in line because we went in a group with guides.

La explicaciones y la atención de nuestra guía fue excelente, pero es tal la cantidad de gente que accede al Vaticano (por supuesto sé que es un tema del Vaticano y no de los organizadores del tour) que la visita resulta agobiante y casi imposible ver con tranquilidad cualquier cosa de los museos Vaticanos. Translate this opinion into English.

The explanations and attention of our guide were excellent, but there are so many people who enter the Vatican (of course I know that this is a Vatican issue and not a tour organizer's issue) that the visit is overwhelming and it is almost impossible to see anything in the Vatican museums in peace.

Lo mejor no tener que esperar colas para entrar tanto a los museos como a la Basílica. Lo que es el tour en sí, la guía Goty nos llevó a matacaballos, con prisas, y todo el tiempo dando a entender que los turistas sobrábamos en Roma, cosa que no entiendo ya que gracias a nosotros tiene su trabajo. Sus explicaciones más o menos correctas para lo poco que nos dejaba pararnos. Translate this opinion into English.

The best thing was not having to wait in lines to enter the museums or the Basilica. As for the tour itself, the guide Goty drove us at a very fast pace, in a hurry, and all the time implying that we tourists were superfluous in Rome, which I don't understand since she has her job thanks to us. Her explanations were more or less correct considering the little time she let us stop. Opinion translated. Show original.

Interesante visitar el Vaticano, pero.... nos parece algo caro para el tiempo y lo que se ve. La guía que tuvimos fue Goti, se le veía muy preparada y con conocimientos pero poca empatía con los participantes, no hacia por captar la atención. Muy masificado todo y eso junto al tiempo que dura, nos parece algo excesivo. Aún así, se disfrutó.

It was interesting to visit the Vatican, but... it seemed a bit expensive for the time and what you saw. The guide we had was Goti, who seemed very prepared and knowledgeable but had little empathy for the participants, and did not try to attract attention. Everything was very crowded and that, together with the time it took, seemed a bit excessive to us. Even so, we enjoyed it.

La visita nos ha gustado mucho porque la guía Alicia nos ha explicado muchas cosas. Los museos son increíbles, los techos y paredes preciosos, y la capilla sixtina impresionante. Por poner una pega, había demasiado gente en los museos y tuvimos que ir un poco rápido para alcanzar a ver la capilla, pero eso no es problema de la guía, ella fue fantástica. Recomiendo el tour totalmente!!! Translate this opinion into English.

We really enjoyed the visit because the guide Alicia explained a lot of things to us. The museums are incredible, the ceilings and walls are beautiful, and the Sistine Chapel is impressive. The only drawback was that there were too many people in the museums and we had to go a bit quickly to be able to see the chapel, but that's not the guide's problem, she was fantastic. I totally recommend the tour!!! Opinion translated. Show original.
