Increible, el guía tenía mucha paciencia porque llevé a mi mamá que no puede caminar muy bien y esperaba hasta que llegara el último integrante del grupo para comenzar la explicación, tenía mucho información interesante, con muchísima disposición a contestar nuestras dudas y darnos recomendaciones útiles. Además muy amable Translate this opinion into English.

Incredible! The guide was so patient because I brought my mom, who has difficulty walking. He waited until the last person in the group arrived before starting the explanation. He had a lot of interesting information and was very willing to answer our questions and give us helpful recommendations. He was also very kind. Opinion translated. Show original.

Un guía local que puede comunicarse muy bien en español, y hacer bromas cuando habla de historia, me gusta. No se muy bien cuantos éramos, pero daba la impresión de que eramos demasiados; sin embargo, las paradas estan bien para grupos grandes y se podia escuchar, aunque es mas fácil distraerse Translate this opinion into English.

A local guide who can communicate very well in Spanish and makes jokes when talking about history, I like that. I’m not sure how many of us there were, but it felt like there were too many; however, the stops are good for large groups and you could hear, although it’s easier to get distracted.

El tour fue maravilloso; Martina hablaba excelente español; nos llevó a dar una pincelada de la ciudad, con historias, anécdotas y un gran sentido del humor. Fue entretenidísimo y conocimos mucho de la historia. Además nos dio recomendaciones valiosísimas para recorrer la ciudad por nuestra cuenta! De verdad un 10!! Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was wonderful; Martina spoke excellent Spanish. She gave us a glimpse into the city, sharing stories, anecdotes, and a great sense of humor. It was incredibly entertaining, and we learned a lot about its history. She also gave us invaluable recommendations for exploring the city on our own! Truly a 10 out of 10! Opinion translated.

Me tocó Rai como guía y fue excelente! Sabe muchísimo sobre la ciudad, su historia y nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones al final para ir a comer comida tradicional, beber buena cerveza y pasear por lugares menos turísticos para ver otros lados de Viena. Translate this opinion into English.

Free Tour centrado en el Hofburg. El guía explica con entusiasmo aspectos sobre la historia de esta zona y relacionados con el país y sus diferentes contextos. Quizás sería recomendable tratar de expandir el free tour a zonas cercanas más allá del Hofburg (y el pequeño inciso final de Stephansdom) para llevarte una imagen más fiel de Viena. Además, fuimos mucha gente en el turno, lo que dificultó escuchar con claridad las explicaciones, que podrían detallarse más en losmaspectos históricos

The free tour focused on the Hofburg Palace. The guide enthusiastically explained aspects of the area's history and its connection to the country and its various historical contexts. It might be advisable to expand the free tour to include nearby areas beyond the Hofburg (and the brief final stop at St. Stephen's Cathedral) to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Vienna. Furthermore, there were many people on the tour, which made it difficult to hear the explanations clearly; the historical aspects could have been more detailed.

El guía muy agradable pero ha resultado un tour bastante pesado. Creo que no es necesario dar tantas fechas concretas, en mi opinión no aportan demasiado y hace que se alargue mucho. Sería suficiente con situar lo que se quiere explicar en un contexto más general. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very pleasant, but the tour turned out to be quite heavy. I think it's unnecessary to give so many specific dates; in my opinion, they don't add much and make it drag on. It would be enough to place what you want to explain in a more general context. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos gustó mucho las explicaciones de Matías el guía. Solo tengo que mencionar que hablaba un poco rápido y como éramos muchos en el grupo se nos perdían algunos detalles. Matías tenía muchos conocimientos y pasamso dos horas perfectas recorriendo esa ciudad increíble !!! Translate this opinion into English.

We really enjoyed Matías's explanations as our guide. I only have to mention that he spoke a little fast, and since there were so many of us in the group, we missed some details.

Muy buen recorrido pero, sobre todo las explicaciones históricas , artísticas y anecdóticas del guía Angelo, matizadas con histrionismo y humor. En una clasificación de 1 a 10, como en mi escuela primaria de Argentina merece un "Muy bien 10, felicitado" Translate this opinion into English.

A very good tour, but above all, the historical, artistic, and anecdotal explanations from the guide, Angelo, were noteworthy, delivered with theatricality and humor. On a scale of 1 to 10, like in my primary school in Argentina, it deserves a "Very good, 10, congratulations!" Opinion translated. Show original.

Creo que el guía sabía mucho y aunque su explicación fue buena, no nos mostró los principales edificios y monumentos sino que entramos al Palacio por detrás. Para un turista que quizás solo estará unas horas en una ciudad es importante conocer y entender lo más relevante y representativo

I think the guide knew a lot, and although his explanation was good, he didn't show us the main buildings and monuments; instead, we entered the Palace from the back. For a tourist who might only be in a city for a few hours, it's important to know and understand the most relevant and representative sights.

El guia Angelo excelente en sus explicaciones. Surgió un inconveniente al inicio porque un grupo de 10 personas habian hecho reservas en 3 grupos, pero el les explicó que la politica de civitatis no lo permitia. Fue tenso pero finalmente esas personas se retiraron y se continuo con el tour. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Angelo was excellent with his explanations. There was a problem at the beginning because a group of 10 people had made reservations in three separate groups, but he explained that Civitatis' policy didn't allow it. It was tense, but eventually those people left and the tour continued. Opinion translated. Show original.

Me ha gustado mucho el freetour. El recorrido es adecuado, sencillo y accesible para todo el mundo. La guía elegía sitios en las paradas correctos tanto por sombra como por tranquilidad. El contenido del tour ha sido excelente. La guía Renata nos ha contado mucha historia de la ciudad, además de las costumbres y cultura actual. Todo bien organizado y recogido en un tour ameno de unas 2 horas. Ha contestado a toooooodas las preguntas y siempre con una sonrisa en la cara. Repetiría con ella.

The tour content was excellent. Our guide, Renata, told us a lot about the city's history, as well as its current customs and culture. Everything was well-organized and condensed into a pleasant two-hour tour. She answered every single question, always with a smile. I would definitely do the tour with her again. Opinion translated.

El guía Angelo se nota que es muy conocedor de la historia de la ciudad y del país; nos recorrió por lugares históricos de interés del centro de Viena. Al inicio del tour tuvo un inconveniente con un grupo de turistas que lo hicieron enojar y en la gran parte del tour estuvo irascible y molesto, lo que no permitía a los turistas tener más cercanía con el guía.

Our guide, Angelo, clearly has extensive knowledge of the city and country's history; he took us through several interesting historical sites in Vienna's city center. At the beginning of the tour, he had a run-in with a group of tourists who angered him, and for most of the tour, he was irritable and annoyed, which prevented the tourists from interacting with him.

Le pongo normal porque el guía en si estaba muy preparado y nos hizo la visita muy amena e interesante. Se ve que lo vivía, Hablaba muy bien español y añadía valor a la visita. Lo malo que algunos comentarios eran con signos políticos o de una determinada ideología Entiendo que deberían ser visitas neutras, ni con connotaciones de derechas ni de izquierdas que ya estamos los suficientemente polarizados en España.

I'm giving it an average rating because the guide himself was very knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable and interesting. He clearly had a passion for the subject. He spoke excellent Spanish, which added value to the visit. The downside was that some comments had political undertones or reflected a particular ideology. I believe tours should be neutral, without right-wing or left-wing connotations, as we are already polarized enough in Spain.

El tour se me hizo muy ameno con las explicaciones de Marco, nuestro guía. Es una persona con un gran conocimiento de los lugares por los que hemos transitado hoy, justo en el casco centro de la bella ciudad de Viena. Además, su particular sentido del humor hace más personal y entretenida la visita. Recomendable al máximo. Translate this opinion into English.

El guía sabía mucho pero hablaba demasiado rápido y no mantenía un orden histórico de los hechos por lo cual se hacía un poco confuso por momentos. Creo que si uno ya supiera algo de la historia del lugar sería diferente. No estuvo mal, pero podría mejorar. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide knew a lot but spoke too quickly and didn't maintain a historical order of events, which made it a bit confusing at times. I think if one already knew something about the history of the place, it would be different. It wasn't bad, but it could improve. Opinion translated. Show original.

1. En el grupo éramos aproximadamente 50 personas, no creo que sea lo más adecuado. 2. No se ha cumplido el horario previsto. 3. Ha faltado contexto histórico, y sin hilo conductor. 4. Lo más positivo es que el guía tenía una gracia singular, y eso ha hecho un tour más ameno.

1. There were approximately 50 people in the group; I don't think that was the most suitable size. 2. The scheduled time was not followed. 3. There was a lack of historical context and no coherent narrative. 4. The most positive aspect was the guide's unique charm, which made the tour more enjoyable.
