La actividad fue bien, nuestro guía Alejandro se notaba que conocía todo sobre lo que estaba explicando, sin embargo consideramos que le faltaba un poco de chispa para hacer más amena la actividad. A pesar de ello nos dio a conocer la historia de todo lo que visitamos. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity went well, our guide Alejandro seemed to know everything about what he was explaining, however we considered that he lacked a little spark to make the activity more enjoyable. Despite this, he told us the history of everything we visited. Opinion translated. Show original.

Berna no podría haberlo hecho mejor. Desde el principio ha captado la atención de todos los miembros de grupo contándonos la historia y curiosidades de este lugar tan emblemático. Además, era fácil percibir la pasión de la guía haciendo su trabajo por su manera de contarlo. ¡Qué placer! Súper recomendado :) Translate this opinion into English.

Bern couldn't have done better. From the beginning he has captured the attention of all the group members by telling us the history and curiosities of this emblematic place. In addition, it was easy to perceive the passion of the guide doing his job from the way he told it. What a pleasure! Super recommended :) Opinion translated. Show original.

Gracias por la experiencia. Andreas fue muy bueno, muy calmado, y dio detalles ajustados a su audiencia. En relación al protocolo de check-in y los comunicadores, se hará más eficiente si la compañía cuenta con su propio equipo para manejar la calidad. A mi parecer, el precio pagado por el paquete en si, fue elevado para el nivel del equipo que se utilizó; adicionalmente, se perdió mucho tiempo cogiendo los mismos.

Thanks for the experience. Andreas was very good, very calm, and gave tight details to his audience. In relation to the check-in protocol and communicators, it will be more efficient if the company has its own team to manage quality. In my opinion, the price paid for the package itself was high for the level of equipment that was used; Additionally, a lot of time was wasted picking them up.

La guía empezó en hora y las explicaciones fueron claras. A mi gusto, por otro lado, fue demasiado rápido y apenas se nos dio tiempo para disfrutar de las salas por las que pasábamos, aunque esto en parte es debido a un problema de sobresaturación en el propio museo que hacía muy difícil seguir a la guía. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide started on time and the explanations were clear. In my opinion, on the other hand, it was too fast and we were barely given time to enjoy the rooms we passed through, although this is partly due to a problem of oversaturation in the museum itself that made it very difficult to follow the guide. .

El Tour se corresponde con lo indicado. La guía Julia se ha mantenido muy atenta durante todo el recorrido y muy bien informada. Nos ha facilitado el acceso a la Basílica a pesar de la cantidad de personas que había esperando. Recomendaría este tour a las personas que vayan a Roma, aunque se lleve toda una jornada.

Franchesca, una gran guía, con mucha cultura y noción sobre lo que estaba contando. No se deja nada pendiente de ver pese a la inmensidad de los museos vaticanos. Tiempos y explicaciones excelentes.

Lo que hace que desmerezca este tour es la gran cantidad de gente que hay visitando el lugar al mismo tiempo. Esto no es culpa del guía, lo sé, pero no da tiempo de admirar las obras y uno se preocupa mucho por no perderse del grupo en lugar de ver lo que hay que admirar. El guía, bien con su explicación, pero no llevaba banderita y en ese mar de gente, había que estar más pendiente de verlo por dónde iba, que de admirar las obras y el lugar. Por otro lado, fue muy amable y pendiente de todos

What makes this tour unworthy is the large number of people visiting the place at the same time. This is not the guide's fault, I know, but there is no time to admire the works and one worries a lot about not getting lost in the group instead of seeing what there is to admire. The guide was good with his explanation, but he didn't have a flag and in that sea of people, you had to pay more attention to seeing where he was going, than to admiring the works and the place. On the other hand, he was very kind and attentive to everyone.

La actividad merece mucho la pena. La cola que nos ahorramos era de, al menos, un par de horas tranquilamente. Todas las explicaciones se agradecen mucho. Hay tantas cosas que ver, que al ir por tu cuenta abrumaría un poco, mientras que al ir con un guía sabes en qué fijarte y puedes entender todo aquello que visitas. Toda la visita merece mucho la pena, no solo la famosa Capilla Sixtina. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity is very worth it. The queue we saved was at least a couple of hours long. All explanations are greatly appreciated. There are so many things to see that going on your own would be a bit overwhelming, while going with a guide you know what to look for and can understand everything you visit. The entire visit is well worth it, not just the famous Sistine Chapel. Opinion translated. Show original.

Mariestela es una guia fantástica, muy profesional, simpatica y divertida. Conoce muy bien el sitio y la historia y tiene buenos trucos para coger los mejores sitios. No le doy mas puntuacion porque debido a la gran afluencia de gente y la gran extensión de espacio y obras para visitar se hace muy corta. Ha sido 1 hora y media exacta de explicacion de la historia (necesaria sino la conoces para poder entender mejor el museo) y despues todo corriendo y la capilla sixtina vista de pasada Translate this opinion into English.

Mariestela is a fantastic guide, very professional, friendly and fun. He knows the site and the history very well and has good tricks for finding the best places. I don't give it a higher rating because due to the large influx of people and the large area of space and works to visit it is very short. It was an exact hour and a half of explanation of the history (necessary if you don't know it to understand the museum better) and then everything running and the Sistine Chapel seen in passing Opinion translated.

La visita fue muy dinámica y entretenida, el guía hizo que el tour de 3 horas se pasase volando y nos explico incluso lo que visitar dentro de la basílica De San Pedro aunque esta no estuviese incluida. Lo recomiendo 100% es una buena visita para entender porque existe el Vaticano, su historia y la historia de los puntos más importantes. Translate this opinion into English.

Hicimos la visita guiada con Rosa, era mi 2 vez haciendo un tour con Civitatis en Roma, pero la primera del resto de mi familia. Me encantó mucho más que la primera vez, Rosa convirtió el tour en un viaje al pasado lleno de apasionantes historias y un toque de humor, que hizo totalmente amena la visita. Además, era una persona bastante detallista, ya que nos dejó todo el tiempo que quisiéramos para ver la Capilla Sixtina. Si se pudiese elegir guía turística sin duda sería ella, muy agradecidos Translate this opinion into English.

We did the guided tour with Rosa, it was my 2nd time doing a tour with Civitatis in Rome, but the first time for the rest of my family. I loved it much more than the first time, Rosa turned the tour into a trip to the past full of exciting stories and a touch of humor, which made the visit totally enjoyable. In addition, he was a very detail-oriented person, since he gave us all the time we wanted to see the Sistine Chapel. If you could choose a tourist guide it would undoubtedly be her, very grateful Opinion translated. Show original.

Aunque la guía se explicaba muy bien, se hizo muy corta la explicación y la visita. Podríamos haber aprofundido más en otras salas del museo y en la descripción de la Capilla Sixtina. Nos pareció que la visita es muy breve, superficial y básica. Nos ha sabido a poco por el precio que tiene la actividad.

Although the guide explained very well, the explanation and the visit were very short. We could have gone into more depth in other rooms of the museum and in the description of the Sistine Chapel. We found the visit to be very brief, superficial and basic. We didn't know much about the price of the activity.

El guía Tom, es dinámico en su discurso y sabe dirigir grupos. La visita, tenía un tiempo aprox de 3 horas y él lo redujo a dos horas y media, no entró con nosotros a la Basílica De San Pedro no nos explicó nada de esta. Sin embargo, si se recreó muchísimo de la capilla Sistina (explicación y visita más de una hora ) lo ví excesivo. Echamos en falta que nos hubiera acompañado a la Basílica y explicará minimo su distribución y q ver. En general, todo bien

The guide, Tom, is dynamic in his speech and knows how to lead groups. The visit lasted approximately 3 hours and he reduced it to two and a half hours. He did not enter St. Peter's Basilica with us and did not explain anything about it to us. However, if a lot of the Sistina chapel was recreated (explanation and visit more than an hour) I found it excessive. We miss that he had accompanied us to the Basilica and explained at least its distribution and what to see. Overall, all good
