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.

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.

Despite a very long queue to get in this was a really informative few hours. Our guide; Massimo, was excellent. He tried his best to keep us informed while waiting to get in and when we eventually did he was excellent with what he showed and discussed. He even ensured that when we stopped, we did so in a shaded area. It was 33c+. Learnt lots but Massimo obviously enhanced the visit significantly.

Realizamos el tour con Paula de Andorra y fue una gran experiencia que repetiríamos con gusto. Paula nos hizo sentir acompañados y se notó las ganas de enseñarnos la historia de Roma y la intención de que la entendiésemos e interiorizásemos. Además, trataba de encontrar sitios a la sombra en los que parar para las explicaciones y amenizó el tour con bromas y cascarrillos.. Un absoluto placer. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour with Paula from Andorra, and it was a wonderful experience that we would gladly repeat. Paula made us feel very welcome, and her enthusiasm for teaching us about Roman history and helping us understand and internalize it was evident. She also sought out shady spots to stop for explanations and enlivened the tour with jokes and anecdotes. An absolute pleasure. Opinion translated. Show original.
