Nos tocó de guía a Mateo, no le podemos poner ninguna pega, con muchísima gracia y nos arrancó muchas risas. Se notaba que le gustaba lo que hacía. La única pega que le ponemos al tour es que eramos demasiados y en ocasiones no podíamos escuchar bien y en este caso no nos proporcionaron auriculares por lo que si estabas un poco lejos con ruidos de coches y tal alguna cosa te la perdías. Gracias Mateo por tu trato y por hacer de este tour algo divertido. Translate this opinion into English.

We had Mateo as our guide, and we can't complain about him at all; he was very entertaining and made us laugh a lot. It was clear that he enjoyed what he was doing. The only downside we found to the tour was that there were too many of us, and at times we couldn't hear well. In this case, they didn't provide headphones, so if you were a bit far away with car noises and such, you missed out on some things. Thank you, Mateo, for your kindness and for making this tour enjoyable. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos ha encantado. El guia, un 10, súper educado y divertido con su acento andaluz. Ha sabido llevar muy bien el tour pese a alguna que otra impertinencia de una mujer que no sé muy bien para qué ha venido. De verdad, súper recomendable. Una gran forma de conocer la historia de Roma!!! Translate this opinion into English.

We loved it. The guide was fantastic, a 10 out of 10, super polite and funny with his Andalusian accent. He managed the tour very well despite the occasional rudeness from a woman whose purpose in being there I'm not quite sure about. Truly, highly recommended. A great way to learn about the history of Rome! Opinion translated. Show original.

Realizamos el Tour con Mateo como guía. Muy simpático y dedicado. A pesar de cogernos una tremenda tormenta, realizamos el Tour bajo la lluvia, lo que le dió un punto extra. Un buen recuerdo y anécdotas que nos llevamos de Roma. Terminamos compartiendo un café. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour with Mateo as our guide. He was very friendly and dedicated. Despite getting caught in a tremendous storm, we did the tour in the rain, which added an extra touch. We have great memories and anecdotes to share from Rome. We finished by sharing a coffee. Opinion translated. Show original.

¡Súper recomendable el Free Tour de los Misterios y Leyendas de Roma! La pasamos genial, fue muy entretenido y las historias hicieron que descubriéramos Roma de una manera diferente. El recorrido estuvo buenísimo y se pasó volando. Un especial reconocimiento para Flavia, que fue una genia como coordinadora: súper atenta, simpática y con una energía increíble. Hizo que el tour fuera todavía más divertido y nos tuvo enganchados de principio a fin. ¡Una experiencia que repetiría sin dudas! Translate this opinion into English.

The Free Tour of Mysteries and Legends of Rome is highly recommended! We had a fantastic time; it was very entertaining, and the stories helped us discover Rome in a completely different way. The tour was excellent and flew by. A special shout-out to Flavia, who was a brilliant coordinator: super attentive, friendly, and incredibly energetic. She made the tour even more fun and kept us engaged from beginning to end. An experience I would definitely repeat! Opinion translated. Show original.

Me esperaba algo diferente. Cuando he hecho tours de misterios y leyendas se centraban en eso, las típicas historias que no te cuenta un guía en un tour turístico normal. El tour creo que se centró demasiado en aspectos como el arte o curiosidades sobre los edificios sobre historia de Roma. Sólamente se contaron dos historias sobre asesinatos o relatos más distintos. Me esperaba otra cosa.

I was expecting something different. When I've taken mystery and legend tours, they've focused on that—the typical stories you wouldn't hear on a regular tourist tour. This tour, I think, focused too much on aspects like art or curiosities about buildings and Roman history. Only two stories about murders or other unusual tales were told. I was expecting something else.

Nuestro guía Mateo fue uno de los mejores k hemos tenido en Roma, simpático, alegre nos iba explicando las cosas y a la vez haciendo bromas para que todo fuera muy ameno. Todo lo que le preguntabas te lo respondía con alegría y con mucha facilidad para entenderle. Sin duda el mejor guia, debería haber muchos más como el. Gracias Mateo por ser como eres Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Mateo was one of the best we've had in Rome. Friendly and cheerful, he explained things while also cracking jokes to make it all very enjoyable. He answered every question with joy and in a way that was easy to understand. Without a doubt, the best guide; there should be many more like him. Thank you, Mateo, for being who you are.

Todo correcto pero creo que podría haber estado mejor guionizado tanto a nivel histórico como "mitologico". No me acabó de convencer dado que Roma da mucho más juego que esto. La actuación de la guía muy correcta por lo demás. Sobraba la retahila contra civitatis del final. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was fine, but I think the script could have been better written, both historically and mythologically. It didn't quite convince me, given that Rome offers so much more than this. The guide's performance was otherwise very good. The final tirade against the city was unnecessary. Opinion translated. Show original.

Cuando llegamos nos ofrecieron ir otro día porque había una guia que no había estado. No nos gusto eso e igual nos quedamos. Nos tuvimos que retirar antes del tour y mi esposo le dejo a la guía el dinero y avisamos que nos íbamos. Puso mala cara. Si te escapas sería peor!!! Ni gracias nos dijo. Translate this opinion into English.

When we arrived, they offered to go another day because one of the guides hadn't been there. We didn't like that, but we stayed anyway. We had to leave before the tour ended, and my husband gave the guide the money and we told her we were leaving. She made a face. "If you run away, it'll be worse!" she said. She didn't even thank us.

Realizamos la excursión el domingo por la tarde, el guía creo que era Mateo ( siento no recordarlo muy bien) fue maravilloso, ninguna pega. Fue divertido a la vez que profesional y se notaba su control en el tema. Abierto a preguntas y siempre preocupado por el grupo... de 10. Pero la actividad o el contenido creo que esta un poco mas enfocado a la historia y el arte que a los misterios y leyendas. Me falto un poco mas de misterios y fantasmas. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the excursion on Sunday afternoon. I think the guide was Mateo (I'm sorry I don't remember very well), but he was wonderful, no complaints whatsoever. He was fun yet professional, and his expertise was evident. He was open to questions and always concerned about the group... a 10 out of 10. However, I think the activity or content was a bit more focused on history and art than on mysteries and legends. I would have liked to see a bit more about mysteries and ghosts. Opinion translated.

Hemos hecho dos tours, el de Roma y el de los misterios, los dos los hemos echo con Teresa y ha sido muy didáctico y muy interesante. He ido con mis hijas de 16 y de 12 y les ha encantado, no se han echo pesados para ellas, al contrario han salido de los tours entendiendo los monumentos y cultura de Roma. Los recomiendo 100/100 Translate this opinion into English.

We did two tours, the one in Rome and the one about the mysteries, both with Teresa, and it was very educational and interesting. I went with my daughters, aged 16 and 12, and they loved it; it wasn't boring for them at all. On the contrary, they came out of the tours understanding the monuments and culture of Rome. I recommend them 100/100. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guía con mucha prisa. Demasiada historia y pocos lugares interesantes. Sería conveniente, como en la mayoría de tours de Civitatis, el uso de auriculares, así evitaríamos que haya gente que se queje a la guía y que los participantes escuchásemos mejor. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was in a hurry. Too much history and too few interesting places. It would be advisable, as in most Civitatis tours, to use headphones, so we could avoid complaints to the guide and the participants could hear better. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una actividad muy recomendable para hacer algo diferente en Roma, se agradece ver otra perspectiva de la ciudad. Flavia, nuestra guía, fue súper agradable en todo momento, con muy buen humor, contaba curiosidades y misterios que no te cuentan en otros tours, siempre con mucho carisma lo que hizo que la visita fuera una muy buena experiencia.

Mateo fue nuestro guía y el mejor guía que pudimos encontrar en Roma. Con diferencia de nota que admira su trabajo y que su única intención es que aprendas un poquito de la historia pero desde un punto de vista cómodo en todos los sentidos. Nos llevamos gracias a él un trocito de Roma, MIL GRACIAS MATEO Translate this opinion into English.

Mateo was our guide and the best guide we could have found in Rome. We were impressed by his work and it was clear his sole intention was for us to learn a little bit of history from a comfortable perspective in every way. Thanks to him, we took a little piece of Rome with us. A thousand thanks, Mateo! Opinion translated. Show original.

Teníamos contratado el tour para otro día pero queríamos volver a repetir con Astrid, nos encantó la primera vez y está segunda vez no nos decepcionó. Si te apasionan las leyendas y los misterios, no dudes en hacerlo, aunque a la guía la hayan atropellado, el fantasma de Astrid te terminará la visita Translate this opinion into English.

We had booked the tour for another day, but we wanted to go again with Astrid. We loved it the first time, and this second time didn't disappoint. If you're passionate about legends and mysteries, don't hesitate to do it. Even if the guide was hit by a car, Astrid's ghost will finish the tour for you. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hicimos el tour de misterios y leyendas de Roma por la tarde y nos encantó. Flavia es una guía súper divertida, cercana y cuenta las historias de forma muy amena, te engancha desde el principio. Pequeño consejo: mejor ir por la tarde! Por la mañana, entre el calor y las horas, quizá no esté tan “sobrenatural”… pero al caer el sol está en su mejor versión. Muy recomendable si quieres descubrir una Roma diferente. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the Mysteries and Legends of Rome tour in the afternoon and loved it. Flavia is a super fun and friendly guide who tells the stories in a very engaging way; she captivates you from the start. A little tip: it's best to go in the afternoon! In the morning, between the heat and the time of day, it might not be quite as "supernatural"... but at sunset, it's at its best. Highly recommended if you want to discover a different side of Rome. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad estuvo muy bien. Flavia excelente, a pesar del susto de la Vespa, maravillosa y sabia guía de la ciudad. Si tuviera que decir algo a mejorar sería hacerla con grupos más reducidos, por ejemplo hoy dos grupos de 25 personas y no uno solo. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was great. Flavia was excellent, despite the Vespa scare; a wonderful and knowledgeable city guide. If I had to suggest an improvement, it would be to do it with smaller groups, for example, today with two groups of 25 people instead of just one. Opinion translated. Show original.

Gran manera de seguir conociendo la ciudad luego del tour tradicional para conocer el costado mas oscuro de la historia. La guía Ali fue excelente y se notaba su pasión por la historia y amplio conocimiento por como respondía cada pregunta. Recomiendo hacer este tour pero no tanto con niños ya que eso limita el relato de las historias por los temas tratados. Translate this opinion into English.

A great way to continue exploring the city after the traditional tour, delving into the darker side of its history. Our guide, Ali, was excellent; her passion for history and extensive knowledge were evident in her answers to every question. I recommend this tour, but perhaps not so much for children, as it might limit the narrative due to the topics covered. Opinion translated. Show original.
