Los museos son espectaculares y la capilla Sixtina es un tesoro, pero creo que la masificación de gente hace que no se pueda disfrutar al 100% Toda la ruta es muy "rápida", apretada, con muchísima gente... Es complicado parar en algún punto para apreciar las esculturas o las obras que se encuentran ahí. Pero en general es de esperar, un punto tan turístico como este, que además tiene tantísimas obras es de parada obligatoria. Translate this opinion into English.

The museums are spectacular and the Sistine Chapel is a treasure, but I think that the overcrowding of people means that it cannot be enjoyed 100%. The whole route is very "fast", tight, with a lot of people... It is difficult to stop somewhere. point to appreciate the sculptures or works found there. But in general it is to be expected, a tourist spot like this, which also has so many works, is a mandatory stop. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una actividad muy amena. Bea nuestra guía ha sido súper simpática y nos ha contado todo super bien. El único punto a mejores son los audífonos para seguir la visita ya que a veces no se oye bien o se pierde la conexión 10 estrellas para Bea!! Translate this opinion into English.

A very enjoyable activity. Bea, our guide, has been super nice and has told us everything very well. The only point for improvement is the headphones to follow the visit since sometimes you don't hear well or the connection is lost. 10 stars for Bea!! Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía maravillosa, Bea, solo pediría que cambiarán los cascos que se utilizan. Se oyen fatal y en mi caso que íbamos con una niña se le caía constantemente y le resultaba muy incómodo. En otros lugares que visitamos tenían sistemas mucho mejores de sonido pero eso no fue culpa de ella, bastante hacia que llevaba el micro en la mano para que la escucharamos mejor Translate this opinion into English.

Wonderful guide, Bea, I would only ask that they change the helmets that are used. They sound terrible and in my case we were with a girl who kept dropping them and it was very uncomfortable for her. In other places we visited they had much better sound systems but that was not her fault, she had the microphone in her hand enough so we could hear her better. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía fue perfecta. Nelly explicó con exquisito conocimiento el recorrido. No nos gustó que la visita queda corta de tiempo y que al ser tanta gente hay demoras. Así como el tiempo entre el punto de encuentro, entradas y megafonía , la visita queda en 2 horas. Repito que la guía es de 10. Nos quedamos después visitando los museos por libre y eso se agradece, así como el que quiera pasar vía rápida a la Basílica de San Pedro. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was perfect. Nelly explained the route with exquisite knowledge. We didn't like that the visit was short on time and that there were so many people there were delays. As well as the time between the meeting point, entrances and public address system, the visit is 2 hours. I repeat that the guide is 10. We stayed afterwards visiting the museums on our own and that is appreciated, as well as anyone who wants to go on a fast track to St. Peter's Basilica. Opinion translated. Show original.

Por parte de nuestro guía Marcelo de civitatis fue excelente, el único problema fue el sistema de sonido que depende del Vaticano, deberían mejorarlo porque en algunas zonas al pasar de una sala a otra perdíamos el contacto, no es culpa vuestra pero deberíais dar un toque a los responsables y pedir más alcance. Por lo demás todo perfecto. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Marcelo from civitatis was excellent, the only problem was the sound system that depends on the Vatican, they should improve it because in some areas when going from one room to another we lost contact, it is not your fault but you should give a touch those responsible and ask for more outreach. Otherwise everything perfect. Opinion translated. Show original.

Pues... me ha encantado. Mi tour empezaba a las 8.30. Daba por hecho que no iba a hacer colas, y así ha sido, por cierto, colas de varias decenas y decenas de metros. Dentro del museo la impresión es de estar escuchando un cuento. Todo fácil de entender y fascinante. Mi guía, Jaime, ha demostrado tener capacidad para meterse en el bolsillo a los que estábamos allí. Oír las explicaciones de las pinturas, los autores, los Papas...lo ha contado fácil y ameno. Gracias. Translate this opinion into English.

Well... I loved it. My tour started at 8.30. I assumed that I wasn't going to wait in lines, and so there have been, by the way, lines of several tens and tens of meters. Inside the museum the impression is of listening to a story. All easy to understand and fascinating. My guide, Jaime, has shown his ability to get into the pockets of those of us who were there. Listening to the explanations of the paintings, the authors, the Popes... he told it easily and pleasantly. Thank you. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestra guía un encanto (pelo corto liso con flequillo y gafas), explicaba fenomenal con toques de humor y muy simpática y atenta con los asistentes al tour. Los Museos Vaticanos y Caspilla Sixtina son espectaculares por sí solos, pero es fundamental para que la experiencia sea completa llevar una buena guía como la que tuvimos. No recuerdo el nombre, hace unos días que lo hicimos, pero le tenemos muy buen recurdo y considerándola algo fundamental en el tour. Translate this opinion into English.

Our charming guide (short straight hair with bangs and glasses), explained phenomenally with touches of humor and was very friendly and attentive to the tour attendees. The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel are spectacular on their own, but it is essential for the experience to be complete to have a good guide like the one we had. I don't remember the name, it's been a few days since we did it, but we remember it very well and consider it something fundamental in the tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

He explained everything to us perfectly, he even recommended what to see after the scheduled visit and where we could eat. In the Bono that they send, both the address and the excursion explained everything very well. Opinion translated. Show original.

La Sra Imma excelente, tuvimos mala suerte pues había una masificación de personas que en algunos momentos se hacía dificil caminar entre tanta multitud, pero ella como una Javata manejaba el temporal y nos cuidaba. Es de agradecer su comportamiento y entendemos que si esto es el día a día de este Tour tampoco es culpa de Civitatis sino del Vaticano con su avaricia que tendría que controlar y disminuir el cupo de visitantes. Saludos a la Sra. Imma de Paz y Jose Translate this opinion into English.

Mrs. Imma was excellent, we had bad luck because there was a crowd of people that at times made it difficult to walk through such a crowd, but she, like a Javata, managed the storm and took care of us. Their behavior is appreciated and we understand that if this is the day to day of this Tour it is not the fault of Civitatis but of the Vatican with its greed that would have to control and reduce the number of visitors.

El guía excelente. Una maravilla. El lugar espectacular, pero demasiada gente por todas partes. Es agobiante, es fácil perder al grupo para ir a fotografiar algo en concreto. Esperaba que se controlaría el aforo de algún modo pero entiendo que es imposible con la cantidad de turistas que hay. 10/10 el tour y Juan Pedro. Translate this opinion into English.

The excellent guide. A marvel. The spectacular place, but too many people everywhere. It's overwhelming, it's easy to lose the group to go photograph something specific. I hoped that the capacity would be controlled in some way but I understand that it is impossible with the number of tourists there are. 10/10 the tour and Juan Pedro. Opinion translated.

Excelente experiencia y explicación, solo que recorre una 1/3 del museo, el resto lo puedes hacer solo o te dan la opción de ingresar con pase directo al Vaticano, conviene mucho que mejor te vayas a terminar de recorrer el museo. Muchas gracias Berna y equipo! Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent experience and explanation, only that you cover 1/3 of the museum, you can do the rest alone or they give you the option of entering with a direct pass to the Vatican, it is very convenient that you better go and finish touring the museum.

Hicimos la visita con Bernadette y salimos encantados. Su recorrido y explicaciones fueron inmejorables. Es muy dificil manejar a un grupo en un lugar con tantísima gente y hacerlo tan bien. Siempre estuvo pendiente de que todo el grupo estuvieramos en el lugar correcto en cada estancia. Demostró conocimiento y pasión por su trabajo. Muchas gracias!!!

Carmelo fue un guía excepcional. Nos explicó todas las obras de la exposición clásica con mucha cultura y sentido del humor para hacerlo ameno y entretenido. Además tuvo paciencia con otros guías y grupos, dado que había mucha gente visitando los museos a la vez y fue muy amable con todos. Sin duda lo recomendamos. Translate this opinion into English.

Carmelo was an exceptional guide. He explained all the works in the classic exhibition to us with a lot of culture and a sense of humor to make it enjoyable and entertaining.

La basilica y la capilla sixtina es una pasada. El guia, Alejandro, muy majo, se ve que sabe mucho de la historia del vaticano, el problema es que iba muy rápido y apenas hacia paradas para sacar fotos o admirar las esculturas, cuadros etc. No se si es porque habia mucha gente o porque no es su estilo. Explicó muy bien la capilla sixtina en la calle, para luego admirar sus detallea en la original, me parecio perfecto. La visita mb pero no se lleva mis 5* debido a la rapidez de la visita Translate this opinion into English.

The basilica and the Sistine chapel is amazing. The guide, Alejandro, is very nice, it seems that he knows a lot about the history of the Vatican, the problem is that he was going very fast and barely made stops to take photos or admire the sculptures, paintings, etc. I don't know if it's because there were a lot of people or because it's not their style. He explained the Sistine Chapel on the street very well, and then admired its details in the original, it seemed perfect to me. I visited MB but it doesn't get my 5* due to the speed of the visit Opinion translated. Show original.

Correcta Las explicaciones de la guía fueron muy correctas. Sin embargo, de las tres horas programadas de actividad, la primera es meramente administrativa: hacer el grupo, ir a las taquillas, recoger entradas y auriculares. Con ello, no da tiempo a ver la pinacoteca ni las habitaciones de los Borgia que hicimos por nuestra cuenta. Translate this opinion into English.

Correct The explanations in the guide were very correct. However, of the three scheduled hours of activity, the first is purely administrative: forming the group, going to the ticket offices, collecting tickets and headphones. With this, there is no time to see the art gallery or the Borgia rooms that we did on our own. Opinion translated. Show original.

Evidentemente, sí vienes a Roma, no te puedes perder esta visita. Gracias a hacerla con guía pudimos evitar la inmensa cola que se forma. Aún así estaba abarrotada. Eso impide disfrutar plenamente de la información de la guía (Julia). Pero es lo que tiene viajar en esta época del año. Translate this opinion into English.

Obviously, if you come to Rome, you cannot miss this visit. Thanks to doing it with a guide we were able to avoid the huge queue that formed. Still it was crowded. This prevents you from fully enjoying the information in the guide (Julia). But that's what it's like to travel this time of year. Opinion translated. Show original.

Algo digno de criticar es el tiempo asignado ya que es una visita de 2:30 y solo duro 2 horas y menos 20 minutos entre esperas y traslados. Nos advirtió la guía que solo seria una pasada por los museos pues son muy grandes. Despues nos puso en una maqueta para explicar los edificios y cuales veríamos ., en un patio explico la capilla Sixtina entramos a ella 10 minutos nos llevo por una puerta y nos saco a la plaza.

Something worth criticizing is the time allocated since it is a 2:30 visit and only lasted 2 hours and less 20 minutes between waiting and transfers. The guide warned us that it would only be a tour of the museums because they are very large. Afterwards he put us on a model to explain the buildings and which ones we would see. In a courtyard he explained the Sistine Chapel. We entered it for 10 minutes, he took us through a door and took us out to the square.
