Visita cómoda ya que si conoces las tres zonas te da mucha independencia para estar el tiempo que quieras en cada lugar. La parte de la audioguía no está bien organizada, tienes que escanear un QR e ir escuchando los audios por tu cuenta, no avisan de llevar dispositivos para escucharlo y mediante los altavoces del móvil es muy incómodo por toda la gente y ruido que hay. Aún así, lo hemos disfrutado, pero no pudimos escuchar la guía, es mejor ir leyendo los carteles informativos del recorrido. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit is convenient because if you're familiar with the three areas, you have plenty of freedom to spend as much time as you like in each place. The audio guide isn't well organized; you have to scan a QR code and listen to the audio on your own. They don't advise you to bring a device to listen to it, and using your phone's speaker is very uncomfortable due to all the people and noise. Even so, we enjoyed it, but we couldn't hear the guide; it's better to read the information panels along the route. Opinion translated. Show original.

Las chicas que atendían, muy profesionales y simpáticas. La audioguía, muy completa. Aunque el hecho de haber usado IA para hacer las narraciones..no me gustó mucho. Está claro que son muchos idiomas, pero incluso a la hora de dar datos numéricos o algunos nombres, sonaba demasiado robotizado. Translate this opinion into English.

The staff were very professional and friendly. The audio guide was very comprehensive. However, I didn't particularly like the use of AI for the narration.

Todo muy bien, solo puntualizar: llegamos a la hora indicada según nuestro bono, a quedar con los trabajadores de la empresa y nos indica la chica, un poco borde por cierto, que se había modificado nuestro horario y que nos habían enviado un mail con esta modificación. La cual había entrado directamente a spam y que no habia sido notificada a través de Civitatis, ya que entró a través de un mail desconocido, por lo que no nos llegó la información correctamente. Por lo demás todo muy bien.

Everything was fine, just a quick note: we arrived at the time indicated on our voucher to meet with the company staff, and the woman, who was a bit rude, told us that our schedule had been changed and that they had sent us an email with this change. However, this email went directly to spam and hadn't been sent through Civitatis, as it came from an unknown email address, so we didn't receive the information correctly. Otherwise, everything was great.

Meu horário no coliseu era 09:30, ao trocar os ingressos , me deparei com uma folha com o horário 9:15 e 9:45 , sendo que comprei 2 ingressos pra mim e minha esposa no mesmo horário , iria ouvir a explicação de onde entrar no qual não rolou tive que sair correndo pois já eram 9:13 , é necessário baixar um app para “ouvir” vídeos durante o passeio , o que acaba sendo horrível, deveriam ser só os áudios . O passeio em si é maravilhoso mas a forma de trocar o ingresso não !

My Colosseum time slot was 9:30 AM, but when exchanging the tickets, I found a sheet with the times 9:15 AM and 9:45 AM, even though I bought two tickets for myself and my wife at the same time. I was supposed to hear an explanation of where to enter, but that didn't happen; I had to run out because it was already 9:13 AM. It's necessary to download an app to "listen" to videos during the tour, which is awful; it should only be audio. The tour itself is wonderful, but the way to exchange the tickets is not!

El plano que nos dieron cuando fuimos a recoger las entradas era pésimo. Deberían entregar uno digitalizado de la actividad. Deberían advertir que sólo hay una cafetería en el Foro y a la salida del mismo aunque sea por cortesía ya que en su plano creo recordar que figuran 3 puntos de restauración y no es así. La audioguia creo que no merece la pena porque son muchos vídeos y no se puede seguir en la visita aunque puedes verlos en otro momento.

The map they gave us when we went to pick up our tickets was terrible. They should provide a digital version of the activity. They should also warn visitors that there's only one cafe in the Forum and one at the exit, even if it's just a courtesy, since their map shows three places to eat, which isn't the case. I don't think the audio guide is worth it because there are too many videos and you can't follow them during the tour, although you can watch them later.

La señora del chaleco verde y bandera verde se ha mostrado poco informativa y no ha mostrado ningún interés en informarnos. El resto del personal del Coliseo excelente. Y el monumento es algo que merece la pena ver aunque sea una vez en la vida..... Es historia en vivo. Translate this opinion into English.

The woman in the green vest with the green flag was unhelpful and showed no interest in providing us with information. The rest of the Colosseum staff were excellent. And the monument is something worth seeing at least once in a lifetime... It's living history. Opinion translated. Show original.

Acudir al punto de encuentro y la presunta guia, dar cuatro instrucciones en inglés, no en castellano, y desaparecer.... Creo qué no es forma de tratar a los clientes en ciudades cómo Roma con tantas expectativas de conocer un monumento de 2000 años... Muy triste

Arriving at the meeting point, the supposed guide gives four instructions in English, not Spanish, and then disappears... I don't think this is the way to treat customers in cities like Rome, where there are such high expectations of seeing a 2000-year-old monument... Very sad.

No veo lógico que reserves las entradas para las 9:15h y sin previo aviso, el operador te las cambie para las 10:30h. Cojí las entradas por este operador precisamente porque tenía disponible la hora que me interesaba. Y sin avisar, nos las cambian. Nos hicieron esperar más de una hora, además de que podíamos haber dormido una hora más. Encima la chica que nos atendió no nos explicaba nada, tuve que hacerle yo preguntas hasta entender todo. Esta vez me ha decepcionado totalmente el servicio.

It doesn't make sense that you book tickets for 9:15 am and then, without prior notice, the operator changes them to 10:30 am. I booked the tickets through this operator precisely because they had the time I wanted available. And without any warning, they changed them. They made us wait for over an hour, and we could have slept in for another hour. On top of that, the woman who helped us didn't explain anything; I had to ask her questions until I understood everything. This time, I was completely disappointed with the service.

Tal y como se indica en la información de la actividad, debido a las limitaciones de aforo y al sistema oficial de venta de entradas del Coliseo, la hora de acceso puede modificarse hasta 3 horas respecto a la seleccionada. En esos casos, se informa del cambio tan pronto como es confirmado. Lamentamos también que la atención recibida en el punto de encuentro no cumpliera tus expectativas y trasladaremos tus comentarios al proveedor para que pueda revisar este aspecto. Translate this opinion into English.

As indicated in the activity information, due to capacity limitations and the Colosseum's official ticketing system, the entry time may be changed by up to 3 hours from the selected time. In such cases, you will be notified of the change as soon as it is confirmed.

La visita estuvo súper bien, el Coliseo es impresionante y realmente me encantó. En cuanto a la descripción de la actividad que pone que la guía te facilita la entradas y te evita las "largas colas" eso es mentira, tuvimos que hacer la cola igualmente. Sí es verdad que tampoco tardamos mucho en entrar pero aún así no vas directo... Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was great, the Colosseum is breathtaking and I absolutely loved it. Regarding the description of the activity that says the guide facilitates the tickets and saves you from the "long queues," that's a lie; we still had to queue. It's true that we didn't have to wait too long to get in, but even so, you don't get in directly... Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad bien porque no teniamos guía y la hicimos por nuestra cuenta a nuestro ritmo. La chica que nos recibió para la entrega de las entradas, bastante seca y nos indicó mal la dirección del foro romano,menos mal que ibamos todo el dia con el Gps,sino terminamos en la otra punta Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was good because we didn't have a guide and did it on our own at our own pace. The girl who greeted us to hand over the tickets was quite curt and gave us the wrong directions to the Roman Forum; luckily we were using GPS all day, otherwise we would have ended up on the other side of town.

Accesos rapidos y estar a tu bola aunqueeee sin guia q el precio sea tan elelvado no lo veo muy bien. El tour de roma nocturno con Bruno fue gratis pagar lo q quisieras y fue la mejor experiencia de todas las q e cogido. Una pena q el no hiciera todo Translate this opinion into English.

Quick access and being able to explore on your own, although without a guide, the high price isn't ideal.

In mi opinión el mapa con las numeraciones deberían ser mejor explicados en la página, con orientaciones cuando se entra al foro Romano, porque hemos perdido tiempo precioso buscando el comienzo de nuestra visita, ya que hay muchas cosas cercanas que no están en el mapa, y nos confunden hacia dónde ir por los diferentes caminos. Creo que se debería actualizar el mapa al que tenemos en el audio guía con lo que realmente se ve en el local.

In my opinion, the map with the numbering should be better explained on the page, with directions when entering the Roman Forum, because we wasted precious time looking for the start of our visit, as there are many nearby things that are not on the map, and they confuse us about where to go along the different paths. I think the map we have in the audio guide should be updated to reflect what is actually seen on site.

En este Tour la persona encargada de facilitar el código para el audioguía no sabía Español y el QR que facilitan hay partes que solo están en Inglés, por lo que no ofrecen lo que contratas. Después para ir a ver el Foro y Paletino tenies que buscar un poco la vida. Es una lastima que descuiden así la atención al turista. Hago muchas excursiones con esta plataforma y en esta me decepcione.

On this tour, the person responsible for providing the audio guide code didn't speak Spanish, and parts of the QR code they provided were only in English, so they didn't deliver what you booked. Then, to visit the Forum and the Palentine Temple, you had to find your own way around. It's a shame they neglect tourist services like this. I book many tours with this platform, and this one disappointed me.

O lugar é maravilhoso. Encontramos facilmente empresa responsável pelos ingressos com base nas orientações passadas. Só tem que se preparar para o calor e pra andar, que o Fórum e Paladino é muito grande e se quiser conhecer todos os lugares, precisa ter pique para andar.

Llegamos al punto acordado donde nos estaba esperando la guía, nos dio las entradas y nos descargamos la audioguía. La entrada al coliseo fue rápida y la visita muy cómoda, ya que al ir con audioguía puedes ir a tu aire. Para entrar al foro romano tuvimos que hacer cola y la audioguía no acabó de funcionar, pero en general la visita fue bien. Recomendable Translate this opinion into English.

We arrived at the agreed-upon meeting point where the guide was waiting for us. She gave us our tickets and we downloaded the audio guide. Entry to the Colosseum was quick and the visit very comfortable, as the audio guide allowed us to explore at our own pace.

Pas si simple à télécharger l'audioguide !! J'attendais cette visite avec impatience, mais je n'ai pas profité pleinement de l'instant. La visite n'est pas très bien fléchée, nous avons raté ou pas pu accéder à la piste reconstituée faute d'indiquations. J'ai des regrets d'avoir accepté l'audioguide, j'aurais du insister pour avoir une visite guidée.

Downloading the audio guide wasn't so easy! I was really looking forward to this visit, but I didn't fully enjoy it. The route isn't very well marked; we missed or couldn't access the reconstructed trail due to a lack of signage. I regret accepting the audio guide; I should have insisted on a guided tour.

Justo la tarde anterior nos cambiaron la hora de entrada al Coliseo, de manera unilateral, teníamos reserva para entrar a las 12 h y nos la pusieron a las 14 h. Esas 2 horas de retraso nos hicieron cambiar los planes del día, por no hablar del calor...

Just the afternoon before, they unilaterally changed our entry time to the Colosseum. We had a reservation to enter at 12 pm, but they moved it to 2 pm. Those two hours of delay forced us to change our plans for the day, not to mention the heat...

Tal parece que la lectura de la actividad y los comentarios de la misma no corresponden. Básicamente hice fue una reserva de entradas. No hubo guía, te dan las hojas que representan los tickets y un QR code Para descargar el audio guía. Que no es más de que un texto leído, y por si una aplicación algo lenta. No es una actividad para par de horas. Se toma más tiempo. Hay que tener buena disposición de mente y cuerpo, los lugares son muy amplios.

It seems the description of the activity and the comments about it are inconsistent. Basically, I just booked tickets. There was no guide; they give you the slips of paper that represent the tickets and a QR code to download the audio guide. The audio guide is simply a text being read aloud, and the app is rather slow. It's not an activity you can do in just a couple of hours. It takes longer. You need to be in a good frame of mind and body, as the venues are very large.

El audiguia solo te da los papeles con el codigo QR el cual ya llevas en tu entrada digital, te puedes saltar este paso... no explican en web la hora de cierre tanto de Coliseo como Foro y Palatino, si tienes entrada por la tarde, solo puedes hacer 1 cosa, al dia siguiente tienes que volver, eso no esta explicado. Por lo de mas bien!

The audio guide only gives you the papers with the QR code, which you already have on your digital ticket; you can skip this step. The website doesn't explain the closing times for the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill. If you have an afternoon ticket, you can only do one thing: you have to come back the next day. That's not explained. Otherwise, it's fine!
