Muy buena experiencia con CIVITATIS y muy especialmente con Silvia la guía asignada. La excursión muy completa y bien organizada. La visita espectacular pero...agotadora con tanto calor y las masas y masas de gente. Recomiendo llevar ropa y calzados muy cómodos, agua que no falte, protector solar e IMPRESCINDIBLE ir con una gorra. A mejorar el precio, muy caro (cómo todo en Roma) y los audios guías que nos facilitan, el sonido no es muy bueno, se pierden muchos detalles. Translate this opinion into English.

Very good experience with CIVITATIS and especially with Silvia, the assigned guide. The excursion is very complete and well organized. The visit was spectacular but...exhausting with so much heat and the masses and masses of people. I recommend wearing very comfortable clothes and shoes, plenty of water, sunscreen and a cap is ESSENTIAL. To improve the price, very expensive (like everything in Rome) and the audio guides that they provide us, the sound is not very good, many details are lost. Opinion translated. Show original.

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.

Hicimos este tour de Civitatis de la mano de Miria, guía muy simpática que nos hizo un tour muy entretenido. Muy buena organización, disposición, explicaciones, recomendaciones... ¡hasta fotográficas! Pudimos ver El Coliseo con detalle, con acceso preferente sin colas. También accedimos a algunas zonas en las que si no vas con guía, no puedes pasar. La parte del Palatino y Foro, maravillosa también. Merece la pena hacer este tour. Y si es con Miria, ¡es una suerte! Gracias. :) Translate this opinion into English.

We did this Civitatis tour with Miria, a very friendly guide who gave us a very entertaining tour. Very good organization, layout, explanations, recommendations... even photographs! We were able to see The Colosseum in detail, with preferential access without lines. We also accessed some areas where if you do not go with a guide, you cannot pass. The Palatine and Forum part, wonderful too. It is worth doing this tour. And if it's with Miria, it's lucky! Thank you. :) Opinion translated. Show original.

Our guide Gianluca from Tours Motion was excellent. Not only for all the information he provided, but also for how engaging he was. There were a lot of people, but he always made sure everyone was present. Of the three tours I did with Civitatis on this trip, this was by far the best. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour lo hicimos con Gianluca, fueron tres horas que se hicieron amenas. Aquello es inmenso, y él fue a lo importante (supongo), hay muchas cosas que no se van a ver, tenedlo en cuenta. Muy cómodo que ellos se encarguen de los trámites y los tickets y tú solo te dejes guiar. Después de la explicación en el coliseo te puedes quedar allí el tiempo que quieras. En general, muy recomendado! Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour with Gianluca, and it was a pleasant three hours. The place is huge, and he focused on the important parts (I suppose). There are many things you won't see, so keep that in mind. It was very convenient that they took care of the paperwork and tickets, so you could just relax and enjoy the tour. After the explanation at the Colosseum, you can stay there as long as you like. Overall, highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Giancarlo nos brindó una mañana fantástica recorriendo la historia de Roma desarrollando una clase de historia maravillosa, entretenida y amena, fueron 3 horas de caminata con descansos bien evaluados que logran que uno llegue al final sin cansancio y pueda disfrutar de todo el recorrido. Estamos muy agradecidos por su generosa guía. Translate this opinion into English.

Giancarlo gave us a fantastic morning exploring the history of Rome. He delivered a wonderful, entertaining, and engaging history lesson.

La actividad es 100% recomendable, la visita empezó lloviendo pero la verdad es que la atención del guía y sus explicaciones hizo que nos olvidáramos de ella por 30 minutos, luego un sol radiante y la experiencia mejor todavía. Luca ha sido un guía estupendo y nos hizo el recorrido 2000 años atrás súper ameno. 100% recomendable

A pesar del aguacero que tuvimos que aguantar en la primera parte del recorrido, todo fue muy bien. El guía muy profesional y ameno. En mi opinión, hacer la visita a la Roma Imperial sin un guía, no te dará una visión de lo que aquello fue en su momento. El Coliseo, foro romano y Palatino merecen unas horas de visita, y con un buen guía todo es mucho mejor. Translate this opinion into English.

Despite the downpour we had to endure during the first part of the tour, everything went very well. The guide was very professional and engaging. In my opinion, visiting Imperial Rome without a guide won't give you a true sense of what it was like in its heyday. The Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill are worth a few hours of your time, and with a good guide, everything is much better. Opinion translated. Show original.

BAstante completa e interesante, a pesar de no haber pododp entrar aal Palatino porque estaba cerrado sin previo aviso, se compenso con un recorrido super interesante. Vicenzo el guia ... excelente, atento y pedagogico. El detalle de mandarnos entradas para el dia siguiente al palatino fue muy bueno. Gracias.

Quite comprehensive and interesting, although we couldn't enter the Palatine Hill because it was closed without prior notice, this was more than compensated for by a super interesting tour. Vincenzo, the guide, was excellent, attentive, and informative. The thoughtful touch of sending us tickets for the Palatine Hill the following day was very nice. Thank you.

Cuando ves los precios parece una actividad con un precio elevado, pero cuando la haces, te das cuenta que cada euro que has invertido en ella, está amortizado. En nuestro caso, la guía, Matilda, era espectacular, tenía un conocimiento sobre la materia increíble, su pasión al contar la historia, hacía que te enganchara aún más si cabe de lo que lo hacía el estar viendo estos monumentos. Salimos encantados con la experiencia, súper recomendable Translate this opinion into English.

When you see the prices, it seems like an expensive activity, but once you do it, you realize that every euro you spend is well worth it. In our case, our guide, Matilda, was fantastic. She had incredible knowledge of the subject, and her passion for telling the story made it even more captivating than simply seeing the monuments.

La guía muy bien. Lo que no me gustó que quize hablar con un operador al tel de la actividad y todo era mensajes automáticos nadie me atendió. Escribí x la plataforma y tampoco nadie me contesto. Te mandan a preguntas frecuentes. No hay atención post venta. La excursión estuvo muy linda. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was great. What I didn't like was that when I tried to speak to an operator on the activity's phone number, it was all automated messages; no one answered me. I wrote through the platform, and no one replied either. They just send you to the FAQs. There's no after-sales service. The excursion itself was very nice. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos esta encantado la ciudad, fue todo un acierto coger esta visita al inicio del viaje. El guía que nos tocó (creo que se llama Raul) sabia muchísimo y nos contó infinidad de cosas tanto del tour como de la historia de Roma. Muy atento y simpático, cualquier duda la resolvía al instante. Sin duda repetiría esta visita guiada por Raul. Es un gran guía y se nota que le apasiona su trabajo. Translate this opinion into English.

We're absolutely loving the city; booking this tour at the beginning of our trip was a fantastic decision. Our guide (I think his name was Raul) was incredibly knowledgeable and told us so much about both the tour and the history of Rome. He was very attentive and friendly, answering every question instantly. I would definitely take this guided tour with Raul again. He's a great guide, and you can tell he's passionate about his work.
