Fue bastante bien, pero cuando hice la reserva en la página web de civitatis no aparece la opción de entrada reducida y mi hija es estudiante (entrada reducida por 4€) y no es justo que pague entrada normal si en la página oficial del coliseo se aplica descuento. Además, la visita al coliseo es muy rápida y no puedes entrar a la arena.

It went quite well, but when I made the reservation on the civitatis website the reduced entry option does not appear and my daughter is a student (reduced entry for €4) and it is not fair that I pay normal entry if the coliseum's official website says discount applies. Also, the visit to the coliseum is very quick and you cannot enter the arena.

La visita con Alexandro fue muy bien y totalmente recomendable hacer esta visita con guía. El lugar es inmenso y el guía nos dirigió a los puntos estrategicos para tener mejores visitas, seguir una ruta con sentido y vivir en el pasado durante 3 horas y sobretodo evitar colas. Volvería sin pensarlo. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit with Alexandro was very good and it is totally recommended to do this visit with a guide. The place is immense and the guide directed us to the strategic points to have better visits, follow a meaningful route and live in the past for 3 hours and above all avoid lines. I would return without thinking about it. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita fue genial, muy bien explicada y amena, pero con suficiente contenido histórico-artístico, no se queda en lo puramente anecdótico. El trabajo de Vincenzo, arqueológo con buen español, magnífico. Me hubiese quedado un par de horas más recorriendo con él los Foro, pues la visita es más detallada en la primera parte en el Coliseo. También me hubiera gustado que el grupo fuera un poco más reducido, pero entiendo que es difícil en un lugar tan turístico, incluso en invierno. Muchas gracias Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was great, very well explained and enjoyable, but with enough historical-artistic content, it does not remain purely anecdotal. The work of Vincenzo, an archaeologist with good Spanish, is magnificent. I would have stayed a couple more hours touring the Forum with him, since the visit is more detailed in the first part in the Colosseum. I also would have liked the group to be a little smaller, but I understand that it is difficult in such a touristy place, even in winter. Thank you so much Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy amena y todo genial. Suerte y sin demasiada gente entre semana en febrero. La guía una italiana con un dominio absoluto del español pero hablaba muy rápido y a veces costaba seguirla. Nos ha buscado sitios para fotos estupendas. Muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Very pleasant and everything great. Good luck and without too many people during the week in February. The guide was an Italian with an absolute command of Spanish but she spoke very quickly and sometimes it was difficult to follow her. We have found places for great photos. Highly recommended.

Without a doubt it is a tour that you cannot miss on your trip to Rome, a lot of information and history inside the stone walls, but my partner and I really liked it, plus within the tour there are tremendous views to take photos so 100 % recommending... bring your ID or passport because it is now a requirement to enter Opinion translated.

It was very pleasant. Our guide Patricia was very helpful and showed us around the city's ancient gems, providing curious facts, making jokes and giving us time to rest and take photos. Moreover, it was a small group, which made the tour very so the dynamic.

Rafaela nos hizo pasar tres horas estupendas, al ser arqueóloga dispone de un extenso conocimiento y además un entusiasmo contagioso. Como anécdota venia un chico de 9 años en el grupo y se encargo de hacerle partícipe de toda la experiencia que a priori para un chico de su edad era un poco pesada. En resumen mi recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Rafaela made us spend three wonderful hours. Being an archaeologist, she has extensive knowledge and also contagious enthusiasm. As an anecdote, a 9-year-old boy came in the group and was in charge of making him participate in the entire experience, which a priori for a boy his age was a bit heavy. In summary, my recommendable. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía estaba súper preparada sabía mucho de la historia. La verdad que se hizo un poco corto en el Palatino y el Foro romano,por añadir alguna sugerencia si se hubieran añadido fotos del antes y compararlo con la actualidad,hubiera sido mucho más interesante y más visual la explicación. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was super prepared, knew a lot about the history. The truth is that it was a little short on the Palatine and the Roman Forum, to add some suggestion, if photos from before had been added and compared to today, the explanation would have been much more interesting and more visual.

El mejor de los tours que hicimos en Roma y todo gracias a Beatrice. Graciosa, simpatica, muy amable y ademas con una explicacion realmente buena. Acompañaba sus "historias" con fotos de como se presuponia todo antiguamente para que fueramos capaces de imaginar como era todo por alli en aquella epoca. Sin duda RECOMIENDO este tour. Translate this opinion into English.

The best of the tours we did in Rome and all thanks to Beatrice. Funny, friendly, very kind and also with a really good explanation. He accompanied his "stories" with photos of how everything was supposed to be in the past so that we would be able to imagine what everything was like there at that time. I definitely RECOMMEND this tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Si lo que queréis es ver los monumentos bien (sobre todo el Coliseo) no os recomiendo el Tour. En cuanto a historia y teoría muy completo pero a penas dejaban tiempo para ver absolutamente nada. Y no os dejéis engañar por que no podáis acceder a algún sitio sin guía porque es totalmente falso.

If what you want is to see the monuments well (especially the Colosseum) I do not recommend the Tour. In terms of history and theory, very complete but they barely left time to see absolutely anything. And don't be fooled that you can't access some place without a guide because it is totally false.

Hemos hecho la visita con Fabio, y NOS HA ENCANTADO. Entre leyendas, historias de emperadores y desmitificando las películas de gladiadores se nos ha hecho muy amena la visita... Me encantaría tenerlo de guía durante el resto de viaje a Roma! Se notaba muy preparado todo, con sus pausas para fotos enseñando los mejores lugares donde tomarlas, para ir al baño, dando la opción de quedarse en el Coliseo si alguien lo prefería... Resumen: 11/10 cobre lo que cobre le deberían pagar más! Translate this opinion into English.

We have made the visit with Fabio, and WE LOVED IT. Between legends, stories of emperors and demystifying gladiator films, the visit was very enjoyable... I would love to have him as a guide during the rest of the trip to Rome! Everything seemed very prepared, with its photo breaks showing the best places to take them, to go to the bathroom, giving the option of staying in the Colosseum if someone preferred... Summary: 11/10 charge what they should pay you further! Opinion translated. Show original.

Laura fue maravillosa. Nos encantó!!! explicó todo con mucho detalle pero sin ser pesado. Dejo tiempo suficiente para hacer fotos y disfrutar de los sitios. Fueros 3 horas pero se nos pasó enseguida. La recomendaría 100 x 100 para quien quiera conocer esa zona de Roma. Gracias Laura Translate this opinion into English.

Laura was wonderful. We loved it!!! He explained everything in great detail but without being heavy. I leave enough time to take photos and enjoy the sites. It was 3 hours but it passed quickly.

Nos sirvió para comprender más la historia de Roma pero no me pareció tan ameno y por el precio que tiene que me resulta elevado no es de mis tour favoritos. Podrían aumentar el tiempo del tour para ver más del foro. Añadir que cuando terminamos la visita guiada nos despedimos en el foro romano para que pudieramos terminar de verlo (ya que en la visita guiada no se ve entero) pero para algunos sitios pedían la entrada y no nos la proporcionó el guía por lo que no pudimos entrar en esos sitios.

It helped us understand more about the history of Rome but I didn't find it that enjoyable and because of the high price it is not one of my favorite tours. They could increase the time of the tour to see more of the forum. Add that when we finished the guided tour we said goodbye at the Roman forum so that we could finish seeing it (since the guided tour does not show it in its entirety) but for some places they asked for admission and the guide did not provide it to us so we could not enter those places.

Explicaciones muy amenas, realizamos el tour con niños y les gustó muchísimo a pesar de ser largo se les hizo corto. La guía Francesca, una maravilla de persona, estuvo muy atenta y amable permitiendo que fueran los niños delante en todo momento para no se perdieran nada. Muy recomendable sobretodo para conocer curiosidades que no están en muchas guías y audioguias,pues dió datos que yo personalmente desconocía y es mi 3°visita a Roma Translate this opinion into English.

Very pleasant explanations, we took the tour with children and they really liked it, even though it was long it felt short. The guide Francesca, a wonderful person, was very attentive and kind, allowing the children to go in front at all times so as not to miss anything. Highly recommended, especially to learn curiosities that are not in many guides and audio guides, as it gave information that I personally did not know and it is my 3rd visit to Rome Opinion translated.
