Giampedro fue un guía riguroso y ameno que nos explicó las claves para entender mejor lo que veíamos en los museos Vaticanos y en la Capilla Sixtina. Fue un lujo tenerle. Gracias a él no nos perdimos en la inmensidad de todo lo que había en el museo. Translate this opinion into English.

Giampedro was a rigorous and pleasant guide who explained to us the keys to better understand what we saw in the Vatican museums and the Sistine Chapel. It was a luxury to have him.

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. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent guide. It was obvious that he had experience both with groups and taking people to the Vatican. He made sure that we were together all the time and that no one was left behind, and he even explained the entrance to San Pedro's chapel to us, which was a bonus. Highly recommended.

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. Once we had seen the Sistine Chapel, which is the last part of the guided tour, he directed us to the entrance of the Basilica. I think the tour did what it says, but I was left wanting to see much more Opinion translated. Show original.

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.

Tom ha sido excelente guía, una persona muy animada y de gran conocimiento. Nos explicó súper bien todo lo que necesitábamos saber del museo y de la Capilla Sixtina. Lo malo es que es DEMASIADA gente en el museo que no se puede realmente disfrutar de la excelente explicación de nuestro guía Tom. Translate this opinion into English.

Tom has been an excellent guide, a very lively and knowledgeable person. He explained to us very well everything we needed to know about the museum and the Sistine Chapel. The bad thing is that there are TOO many people in the museum that you can't really enjoy the excellent explanation of our guide Tom. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una grandiosa experiencia, nos explicaron muy bien todo, lo uníco malo es que en el horario que fuimos había mucha gente y fue un poco molesto, pero el Guia lo dio todo y nos explico bien, Solo que si deseas ver la capilla sixtina lleva paciencia porque los de seguridad te van corriendo apenas pones un pie en la capilla, Translate this opinion into English.

A great experience, they explained everything to us very well, the only bad thing was that at the time we went there were a lot of people and it was a little annoying, but the Guide gave everything and explained it to us well. Only if you want to see the Sistine Chapel, be patient. because the security will run away from you as soon as you set foot in the chapel, Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente la guía. El único problema es que nos dejó antes de la Capilla Sixtina, alegando que no estaba permitido entrar en visita guiada, cuándo dentro de la mencionada Capilla, había otros grupos a los que el guía daba sus explicaciones , sin ningún problema

Excellent guide. The only problem is that he left us before the Sistine Chapel, claiming that it was not allowed to go on a guided tour, when inside the aforementioned Chapel, there were other groups to which the guide gave his explanations, without any problem

La visita estuvo muy bien, a pesar de ser un día en el que había muchísima gente. Nuestra guía, Valentina, se esforzó en que tuviéramos una buena experiencia y pudiésemos ver lo más posible dado lo lento que iba todo debido al exceso de personas que se admiten en los museos, pero esto no es responsabilidad de Civitatis sino de los museos vaticanos... Importante tener en cuenta: Nuestra visita fue un miércoles, día de audiencia del Papa y por tanto había más gente que otros días. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was very good, despite it being a day when there were many people. Our guide, Valentina, did her best to ensure that we had a good experience and were able to see as much as possible given how slow everything was going due to the excess of people admitted to the museums, but this is not the responsibility of Civitatis but of the Vatican museums. .. Important to note: Our visit was on a Wednesday, the day of the Pope's audience and therefore there were more people than other days. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestra guía fué excelente (Bea), desde el principio nos dió que pensar con lo que llevaba de referencia (para localizarla), un flamenco rosa. Fué muy divertida, nos contó curiosidades de las zonas que ibamos visitando y se preocupó desde el principio por todo el grupo. Mi mas sincera enhorabuena Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was excellent (Bea), from the beginning she gave us something to think about with what she had as a reference (to locate her), a pink flamingo.

Muy buena experiencia. Entramos al museo y a la basílica sin tener que hacer demasiada cola, se encargaban de las entradas y nos daban audífonos para escuchar Perfecto. El guía supo llevar muy bien todo el tour, se explicaba muy bien y interesante. Además el museo tenía mucha gente pero él supo hacer llevadero el momento. Muchas gracias Translate this opinion into English.

La guía muy agradable y contó varias anécdotas interesante. La cantidad de gente que hay en el Vaticano es lo único que entorpece un poco la visita, pero la empresa lo gestiona bien y te ayuda en los recorridos para que también puedas acceder a la Basílica de San Pedro. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very pleasant and told several interesting anecdotes. The number of people in the Vatican is the only thing that hinders the visit a little, but the company manages it well and helps you with the tours so that you can also access St. Peter's Basilica.

Aquí efectivamente nos ahorramos mucho tiempo en las filas. Por otro lado, el guía era muy didáctico y divertido, lo que hacía aún más amena la eterna peregrinación a la capilla sixtina (XD). Aquí si valió la pena pagar por el guía y tour, ya que fue valiosa e importa información, además de ahorrarnos largas filas. Translate this opinion into English.

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.

Nuestros guía Vicente fue un absoluto encanto y nos hizo pasar una mañana divertida a la par que interesante. Lo recomiendo mucho aunque por causas agenas al tour y el guia no pudimos entrar en la basilica de San Pablo hasta las 13.30h, cosa que no pudimos hacer por tener otra excursión Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Vicente was an absolute charm and made us spend a fun and interesting morning. I highly recommend it, although for reasons beyond the control of the tour and the guide we were unable to enter St. Paul's Basilica until 1:30 p.m., which we could not do because we had another excursion.
