Nuestra guía Rosa, nos explico muy bien todo. Transmitía su amor por el arte y la historia. Respondía a nuestras dudas y nos animaba para preguntarle. En el grupo había dos jóvenes y les hacia participes y estuvieran atentos. Cosa que se agradece. El sabado 4 abril habia mucha gente, porque el viernes 3 por el via crucis, no se podia visitar el coliseo. Aunque tuvimos que hacer cola, Rosa siempre estaba atenta a la marcha de la cola y mientras nos relataba y explicaba detalles de la historia. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Rosa, explained everything very well. She conveyed her love for art and history. She answered our questions and encouraged us to ask more. There were two young people in the group, and she made sure they were involved and attentive, which was much appreciated. On Saturday, April 4th, there were many people because the Colosseum was closed on Friday the 3rd due to the Stations of the Cross. Although we had to wait in line, Rosa was always attentive to the movement of the queue while telling us and explaining details of the history. Opinion translated. Show original.

Luca ha sido un guía excelente, muy profesional, divertido y buen conocedor de la historia de Roma Ante una situación imprevista por el accidente de un trabajador está pasada noche, ha intentado por todos los medios terminar la visita al Coliseo, principal monumento que queríamos visitar por su gran interés y relevancia. Y hemos podido entrar aunque no terminar la visita de una forma tranquila, ya que nos han "invitados a irnos" pues cerraban el Coliseo para investigar. Eso sí Luca, excelente. Translate this opinion into English.

Luca was an excellent guide, very professional, fun, and knowledgeable about Roman history. Faced with an unforeseen situation due to a worker accident last night, he tried his best to finish the tour of the Colosseum, the main monument we wanted to visit because of its great interest and significance. We were able to enter, although we couldn't finish the tour properly, as we were "asked to leave" because the Colosseum was being closed for an investigation. Even so, Luca was excellent.

Para lo que cuesta, esperaba bastante más. Pagamos 129 € por dos personas cuando la entrada indicaba 18€ por persona. Al igual que el tour de museos de vaticano y capilla Sixtina no fuimos acompañados a la Capilla Sixtina y tampoco se nos explicó bien el acceso a la Basílica de San Pedro y era un precio de entrada de 20€ y pagamos 238€ para dos perdonas, Me parece un precio excesivo para el servicio ofrecido. Me pensaré volver a contratar con Civitatis.

For the price, I expected much more. We paid €129 for two people when the ticket stated €18 per person. Similarly, with the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tour, we weren't accompanied to the Sistine Chapel, and the access to St. Peter's Basilica wasn't properly explained. The entrance fee was €20, and we ended up paying €238 for two people. I think this is excessively expensive for the service provided. I'll think twice about booking with Civitatis again.

Patri ha sido súper profesional, educada y correcta, todo explicado perfectamente, nos ha encantado. Lo único que no nos ha gustado y no ha sido Patri, sino la organización de Civatita, es que cuando hemos llegado nos hemos vuelto locos corriendo de un lado para otro porque no tenían ningún cartel, ni paraguas, ni señal para identificarlos y nos ha causado un poco de estrés pensando que con lo cara que había costado la entrada no pudiéramos entrar. Translate this opinion into English.

Patri was incredibly professional, polite, and helpful; everything was explained perfectly, and we loved it. The only thing we didn't like, and it wasn't Patri's fault, but rather Civatita's organization, was that when we arrived, we were running around like crazy because they didn't have any signs, umbrellas, or any way to identify themselves. It caused us a bit of stress, thinking that after paying so much for the tickets, we might not be able to get in. Opinion translated. Show original.

El entorno es maravilloso, pero el guía, BRUNO, ha hecho que sea aún mejor. Se nota que sabe de lo que habla y además sabe transmitir lo que nos ha quedado claro que es su pasión. Hubo un incidente con una de las integrantes del grupo y se ha esforzado en ayudarle y solucionar el problema, esto también le suma puntos. En resumen, uno de los mejores guías que he tenido nunca, ¡muchas gracias! Translate this opinion into English.

The setting is wonderful, but our guide, Bruno, made it even better. It's clear he knows his stuff and he's able to convey what is undoubtedly his passion.

Coliseo,Foro y Palatino con la guía Macarena. Una guía con mucha pedagogía para contar las historias al mismo tiempo que amena y se me ha pasado rápido el tiempo. Mi queja es a Civitatis porque no ofrece un número de contacto ante un contratiempo como ha ocurrido hoy con una gran tormenta que no sabíamos cómo comunicarnos con la guía. Creo que deben mejorar ese aspecto. Translate this opinion into English.

Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill with Macarena as our guide. She was a very engaging and informative guide, telling the stories in a way that made the time fly by. My only complaint is with Civitatis, because they don't provide a contact number in case of an emergency, like the one we had today with a huge storm that left us unable to reach the guide. I think they should improve this aspect. Opinion translated. Show original.
