      Halina was amazing. We had a wonderful time and learned so much. She was so knowledgeable and clearly loved the topic.

      Viator advised us less than 2 days before the visit that it could not go on as planned. I had to insist that they fix this, as they were proposing to split this in 2 different days. But we were in Rome for 1 1/2 days! So they simply inverted the two sections, which should have been the preferred option from the get go. Nonetheless, the Vatican visit was good, but the heavy accent of the guide made it difficult tu understand all. In the afternoon Colloseum tour, Renata made it very interesting with much details. Her English was impeccable.

      Well organized tours, but it was very difficult to follow both activities at the same day. Both guides were very good.

      O e-mail enviado por vocês estava com informações equivocadas (horário das atrações estavam invertidos e hora de apresentação equivocada. Dessa forma, só pude fazer o passeio do Vaticano
      ¡Excelentes guías y muy buen tour!
      Carlos_M, May 2023
      Ambos tours fueron realmente excelentes. Los guías (Raul y Severus) muy bien preparados, simpáticos y amables; con muy buena predisposición y paciencia. Solo lamentamos que en el grupo del Coliseo haya habido personas irrespetuosas y desconsideradas, que no reconocieron el gran labor que realizaron los guías. Recomiendo hacer este tour, pero quizás en dos días separados para no cansarse tanto ya que hay que tener en cuenta que al finalizar el primer tour hay que ir rápidamente hacia el siguiente sitio para llegar a tiempo, tomando el metro.
