Nos tocó a Tom cómo guía, el cual en mi opinión fue excelente en información, calidad y manejo de los tiempos. El único aspecto a mejorar, es que me hubiese gustado quedarme un tiempo más en el predio, por lo que hubiese Sido beneficioso que nos avise antes de salir...para que uno pueda elegir, quedarse o irse. El resto excelente, el mejor guía que tuvimos en Roma. Translate this opinion into English.

It was Tom's turn as a guide, who in my opinion was excellent in information, quality and time management. The only aspect to improve is that I would have liked to stay a while longer on the property, so it would have been beneficial if you let us know before leaving... so that one can choose, stay or leave. The rest excellent, the best guide we had in Rome. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía Iván fue muy bueno, hizo un tour y un recorrido muy completo, y resultó muy informativo históricamente pero también accesible y ameno para todo el mundo. Pero no doy más estrellas por culpa de CIVITATIS. Esta y otras empresas turísticas se dedican a acaparar todas las entradas disponibles al Coliseo o al Vaticano, para que te resulte imposible reservarlo por libre con un mes de antelación y te veas obligado a coger un tour que triplica el precio (dicho no por mí sino por los guías).

The guide Iván was very good, he gave a very complete tour and tour, and he was very informative historically but also accessible and enjoyable for everyone. But I don't give more stars because of CIVITATIS. This and other tourist companies are dedicated to monopolizing all the available tickets to the Colosseum or the Vatican, so that it is impossible for you to reserve it for free a month in advance and you are forced to take a tour that triples the price (said not by me but by the guides).

Elena es una excelente guía con muchos conocimientos de la antigua Roma. Una visita muy recomendada. Solo me hubiera gustado un poquito de más tiempo para tomar fotos. En verano hace calor recomendó que lleven sombrero o gorra para protegerse del sol. Translate this opinion into English.

Espectacular tour que nos ofreció Vicente. Su profesionalidad como arqueólogo y cómo lo cuenta, nos permitió entender mucho mejor la historia de estos lugares. A pesar del sofocante calor y de lo rápido que hablaba mereció la pena disfrutar del recorrido. Lo recomiendo aunque ya hayas visitado Roma. Cada año hay algo antiguo nuevo. Translate this opinion into English.

Spectacular tour that Vicente offered us. His professionalism as an archaeologist and how he tells it, allowed us to understand the history of these places much better. Despite the sweltering heat and how fast he spoke, it was worth enjoying the tour. I recommend it even if you have already visited Rome. Every year there is something old new. Opinion translated.

A pesar del poco tiempo, la guía supo explicarnos todo lo importante, además, fue muy atenta con el grupo y respondió todas nuestras preguntas y curiosidades. Se notaba que tenías conocimientos sobre lo que hablaba y además le ponía pasión. Disculpa por no recordar tu nombre (pañuelito verde). Gracias Translate this opinion into English.

Great guide who was very well versed in the history. Very thorough answers to questions. The tour was 3 hours of almost constant walking. Wear very comfortable shoes as the walking surfaces are very uneven. Make sure you bring a water bottle that you can refill at various locations along the way. Good value for the price!

Nos gustó mucho el guía, Iván. Muy bueno explicando la historia de los lugares con dinamismo y simpatía. A pesar del calor, estuvimos en la sombra en la medida de lo posible y todo se hizo más ameno. Da tiempo a hacer fotos e incluso ir al WC a mitad del recorrido. Translate this opinion into English.

We really liked the guide, Iván. Very good explaining the history of the places with dynamism and sympathy. Despite the heat, we were in the shade as much as possible and everything became more enjoyable. Allow time to take photos and even go to the WC halfway through the tour. Opinion translated.

Cristina fue una guía muy interesada en explicarnos perfectamente el origen arquitectónico del Foro,Palatino y Coliseo.Nos contó anécdotas, curiosidades y estuvo muy atenta de aclararnos cualquier duda que tuviéramos,y eso que era exagerado la cantidad de turistas que había.

Hemos realizado el tour con Amina y ha sido una gozada, con un montón de información que ha hecho la excursión super amena. Hace 14 años mi mujer y yo visitamos los monumentos por libre, y como ahora tenemos a dos peques queríamos algo que los hiciera partícipes de la historia de Roma. Y ha sido todo un acierto.

Empecé mal y no pude escuchar a la guía. En la página web se lista muy claramente que. No se debe llevar carritos de bebés. Por seguir la indicaciones cabe cargando a un niño de 2 años por tres horas mientras dormía en un calor infernal…. La cereza? Había mismo dentro del tour una señora con carrito de bebe y pudo usarlo durante todo el trayecto sin problema alguno. …. Muy mal decir cosas que acaban no siendo realidad.

I started badly and couldn't hear the guide. On the website it lists very clearly that. Baby carriages should not be carried. By following the instructions, it is possible to carry a 2-year-old child for three hours while he slept in hellish heat…. The cherry? There was a lady with a baby carriage on the tour and she was able to use it throughout the entire journey without any problem. …. Very bad to say things that end up not being true.

Lo que mas me gustó fue la guia del tour, se nota que le gusta lo que hace y atrae tu atención ,eso hace que estés pendiente de sus explcaciones todo el tiempo. De caracter afable y profesional. Lo que menos me gustó, no puedes disfrutar de lo que estas viendo y hacerte una idea de donde estas porque tienes que atender a las explicaciones. La visita tiene un tiempo determinado y hay que cumplirlo. No pude disfrutarlo al 100%. Translate this opinion into English.

What I liked the most was the tour guide, you can tell that he likes what he does and attracts your attention, that makes you pay attention to his explanations all the time. Of affable and professional character. What I liked least, you cannot enjoy what you are seeing and get an idea of where you are because you have to attend to the explanations. The visit has a certain time and must be met. I couldn't enjoy it 100%. Opinion translated. Show original.

Eramos bastantes en el grupo, y además, ajeno a Civitatis, eramos muchos en Coliseum-Palatino-Foro. La guía, Adelaida, sabía bastante pero sólo quería transmitir al público lo justito. Pregunté varias veces sobre historia de lo que estabamos viendo, las respuestas fueron breves y concisas, con lo que se me quitaron las ganas de preguntarle nada más. El recorrido también fue bastante justito. Una lástima, para una vez que entramos en un sitio tan maravilloso y el tour no fue satisfactorio.

We were quite a few in the group, and also, outside Civitatis, we were many in Coliseum-Palatino-Foro. The guide, Adelaida, knew a lot but she only wanted to convey to the public what was fair. I asked several times about the history of what we were seeing, the answers were brief and concise, which made me want to ask nothing more. The route was also quite fair. Too bad, for once we entered such a wonderful place and the tour was not satisfactory.
