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.

María fue nuestra guía y consiguió hacer un excelente trabajo a pesar de ser un día complicado por el calor y el aforo. Como apunte diría que 22 personas en un grupo para este tipo de visitas me parece excesivo. Hicimos la visita a la Basílica De San Pedro en un grupo de 13 y se consigue una mayor conexión. Translate this opinion into English.

Maria was our guide and did an excellent job despite it being a challenging day due to the heat and the large group size. As a side note, I think 22 people in a group for this type of tour is excessive. We visited St. Peter's Basilica in a group of 13 and felt a much better connection with the group. Opinion translated.

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.

La experiencia fue increíble, pero sobre todo por la guía que nos tocó. El tono, la rapidez, las paradas, el material que utilizaba... En general todo fue perfecto. El día anterior me dio un golpe de calor y se lo contamos, estuvo pendiente de mi en los momentos que podía suponer un esfuerzo y tranquilizándome para que fuera a mi ritmo son problema. La pena es que no recuerdo su nombre para poder darle las gracias en persona. Repetiré en mi próximo viaje a Roma la experiencia con esta compañía. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was incredible, but especially because of the guide we had. Her tone, her pace, the stops, the equipment she used... everything was perfect. The day before, I suffered from heatstroke, and we told her about it. She was attentive to me during moments that might have been strenuous, reassuring me so I could go at my own pace without any problems. It's a shame I don't remember her name so I could thank her in person. I will definitely repeat the experience with this company on my next trip to Rome. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad ha cumplido las expectativas; ha sido amena, entretenida y no se ha hecho pesada en absoluto, gracias a la impagable labor de Fabio, nuestro excelente guía quien, a la vez que nos informaba con mil y un detalles de los emperadores altoimperiales, trataba por todos los medios de conducirnos por los pocos caminos con sombra que la ruta permitía.

The activity lived up to expectations; it was enjoyable, entertaining, and not at all tedious, thanks to the invaluable work of Fabio, our excellent guide who, while providing us with countless details about the High Imperial emperors, did his best to lead us along the few shaded paths the route offered.

La visita fue muy completa y muy bien explicada por nuestra guía Raquel. La verdad es que era un día que hacía muchísimo calor pero Raquel siempre buscaba los lugares de sombra para darnos las explicaciones, lo cual es de agradecer. Merece la pena hacer la visita guiada porque así no te pierdes nada y descubres un montón de cosas que no sabías del Coliseo, Foro y Palatino. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was very comprehensive and very well explained by our guide Raquel. The truth is that it was a day with a lot of heat, but Raquel always looked for shaded spots to give us the explanations, which is much appreciated.
