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.

La actividad ha sido bastante interesante .El guía nos ha animado bastante a reflexionar sobre el origen y la historia de Roma, la importancia de la conservación de los monumentos para conocer mejor el pasado de nuestra civilización. Aunque el audio no era muy bueno y la entonación del guía hacia perder el hilo a veces sobre lo que iba contando este guía ha sido de lo mejor en Roma, hasta ahora.Sus alusiones a referencias históricas y reflexiones han sido muy educativas Translate this opinion into English.

The activity has been quite interesting. The guide encouraged us to reflect on the origin and history of Rome, the importance of preserving monuments to better understand the past of our civilization. Although the audio wasn't very good and the guide's intonation sometimes made it hard to follow what he was saying, this guide has been one of the best in Rome so far. His references to historical facts and reflections have been very educational. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo genial. Nora fue un amor. Nos explicó todo muy bien y de forma muy entretenida. Estuvo muy lista al hacernos visitar primero el foro y acabar con el coliseo cuando suele ser al revés, pero eso se tradujo en menos colas y sobretodo en poder aguantar mejor el tour con los casi 40 grados de calor que hacía. En el grupo había una señora con problemas de movilidad y estuvo muy atenta para hacérselo lo más fácil posible. Me encantará hacer otro tour con ella en mi próxima visita a Roma. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was great. Nora was a sweetheart. She explained everything very well and in a very entertaining way. She was very clever to have us visit the forum first and end with the coliseum, which is usually the other way around, but this resulted in shorter lines and, above all, being able to handle the tour better with the almost 40 degrees of heat we had. In the group, there was a lady with mobility issues, and she was very attentive to make it as easy as possible for her. I would love to do another tour with her on my next visit to Rome.

Visita espectacular! Esta mañana hemos recorrido el Coliseo y el Foro Romano y la experiencia ha superado todas nuestras expectativas. Hemos tenido la gran suerte de ir acompañados por Bruno, un guía arqueólogo, que nos ha transmitido su pasión por la historia. Sus explicaciones han sido cercanas, súper didácticas y nos han hecho viajar al pasado. ¡Recomiendo 100% hacer el tour con él para entender de verdad la magnitud de estas ruinas!

Spectacular visit! This morning we toured the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. We were incredibly lucky to be accompanied by Bruno, an archaeologist and guide, who shared his passion for history with us. His explanations were engaging, highly informative, and truly transported us back in time. I wholeheartedly recommend taking the tour with him to truly grasp the magnitude of these ruins!

Ha sido una experiencia muy buena. La guia Julia se a portado increíble. Además de sus comentarios que son excelentes, agradecerle mucho, ya que mi mujer tiene una pequeña minusvalía y Julia a estado muy pendiente de ella toda la visita. Creo que deberían subirle el sueldo, se lo gana. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Julia, was amazing. Besides her excellent commentary, I'm very grateful to her, as my wife has a minor disability and Julia was very attentive to her throughout the tour.

Es una actividad obligstoria, no solo para ver los restos sino, para poder comprender como se fundo Roma, conocer sus orígenes, en que fundamenta a su sociedad, el pensamiento que tenían. Tanto el monte Palatino, como el Foro quedan ruinas, que puede costar imaginarse lo. El Coliseo que decir, aunque esté en medio ruinas, te impresiona su tamaño y su grandiosidad. Lo mejor sin lugar a dudas, el guía Andrea, una pasión para contarte la historia para transmitirte su pasión. Obligatoria Translate this opinion into English.

It's a must-do activity, not only to see the ruins but also to understand how Rome was founded, to learn about its origins, the foundations of its society, and its way of thinking. Both the Palatine Hill and the Forum are in ruins, which can be hard to imagine. And the Colosseum—what can I say? Even amidst ruins, its size and grandeur are breathtaking. Without a doubt, the best part was our guide, Andrea, who had a passion for telling the story and sharing his enthusiasm with you. A must-do. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ha sido una experencia genial No me suele gustar coger ningun Tour porque me acaba resultando aburrido, normalmente prefiero ir por libre. En este caso, con nuestra guia Paula, todo lo contrario. Se nos paso volando el tiempo. Ya habia venido otra vez a Roma hace años y me entere de muchas cosas que no sabia. Un encanto de chica y un tour 100% recomendado Translate this opinion into English.

It has been a great experience. I usually don't like taking any tours because I find them boring; I normally prefer to go on my own. In this case, with our guide Paula, it was the complete opposite. Time flew by. I had been to Rome years ago and learned many things I didn't know. A lovely girl and a 100% recommended tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hemos hecho la visita guiada al coliseo, foro y palatino con un guía. Decir que ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. El guía ha sido experto, que nos hizo sumergirnos en la Roma de aquella época. Visita muy bien organizada, que no dejó nada por ver o explicar. Le damos un 10. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the guided tour of the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill with a guide. I must say it was a wonderful experience.

Nos encantó la visita al Coliseo, Foro Romano y Palatino. Aunque es un recorrido largo y con bastante tiempo al sol, el guía consiguió que fuera muy entretenido y dinámico en todo momento. Sus explicaciones, curiosidades y forma de contar la historia hicieron que el tiempo pasara volando. Si tuviera que poner un pero, sería el sistema de audio, ya que en algunos momentos costaba escuchar con claridad. Por lo demás, una experiencia totalmente recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

We loved the visit to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Although it is a long tour and quite time spent in the sun, the guide made it very entertaining and dynamic at all times. His explanations, curiosities, and storytelling made the time fly by. If I had to point out a downside, it would be the audio system, as at times it was difficult to hear clearly. Otherwise, a totally recommendable experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

Paula ha sido una guía de 10. Pocas personas muestran el interés y la empatía con los clientes como lo ha hecho ella. Desde el primer momento lo hace todo muy ameno y coectó con el grupo, haciendonos sentir muy cómodos. Éramos una familia de 7 y mis tres hijos, a pesar de sus edades, 12, 10 y 7 y del recorrido de la visita que es bastante largo y pesado sobre todo por el calor del verano, ha conseguido tener a los 3 niños muy atentos y no han dejado de prestar atención en ningún momento. Muchas Translate this opinion into English.

Paula was an excellent guide. Few people show the same level of interest and empathy with clients as she did. From the very first moment, she made everything very enjoyable and connected with the group, making us feel very comfortable. We were a family of seven, and despite my three children—12, 10, and 7—and the rather long and tiring tour, especially due to the summer heat, she managed to keep them all very attentive and engaged throughout.

Hice una visita guiada con mi madre y mi hermana y quedamos las 3 encantadas.

He told us tons of fascinating facts about history and archaeology. Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo definiria con dos palabras: impresionante y fabuloso, pero si lo ves de la mano de MARIA. La guia de civitatis, entonces pasa a ser excelente. Que maravilla de guia, te explica todo de una forma tan amena e interesante, que se hacen cortas las tres horas que dura la visita. Translate this opinion into English.

I would describe it in two words: impressive and fabulous, but if you experience it with Maria, the Civitatis guide, then it becomes truly excellent. What a wonderful guide!

Nuestra guía excepcional. Encantadora. Ha hecho que la visita fuera muy agradable a pesar del calor que hacía. La única pega que le pongo al tour es que yo lo había reservado a las 10:30 de la mañana para no pasar calor y lo pasaron a las 15:00, la peor hora. Pero la visita es muy recomendable

Our guide was exceptional. Charming. She made the tour very enjoyable despite the heat. My only complaint about the tour is that I had booked it for 10:30 am to avoid the heat, but it started at 3:00 pm, the worst possible time. However, the tour is highly recommended.

Entendemos que el cambio de horario no haya sido de tu agrado por el calor. El operador tuvo que proponer esta alternativa por motivos logísticos y se informó con antelación a todos los participantes para confirmar si estaban de acuerdo con la modificación antes de realizarla. Nos alegra saber que la guía hizo la visita muy agradable y que, pese a todo, disfrutaste de la experiencia. Translate this opinion into English.

We understand that the change of schedule may not have been convenient for you due to the heat.

La guia Bea genial. Muy profesional. Un 10. El problema fue encontrar nuestro grupo en el punto de encuentro. Preguntamos por Civitatis y nos dieron diferentes respuestas. No nos informaron por correo electrónico que empresa realizaba el tour ni como identificarlos. En la zona habia muchisima gente.

Bea was a fantastic guide. Very professional. A 10 out of 10. The problem was finding our group at the meeting point. We asked about Civitatis and received conflicting information.
