  • Nada, no pude hacer ni ver nada, contrataron un tour que no era, el punto de encuentro me lo dieron mal así que ni pude hacer el otro tour en el que me habían metido, todo fatal y el dinero veremos a ver si me lo devuelven

  • Sin duda alguna una gran visita que incluye desde los Museos Vaticanos hasta la Capilla Sixtina de la forma más completa posible.

  • Incompleto el tour ya que no hubo explicaciones y no se si lo que se recorrió fue todo lo contestado

  • Great experience! We enjoyed learning the culture and history and the tour was wonderful. We learned so much and were happy it wasn't cancelled due to the Pope's passing.

  • The guide knowledge and the way of answerig of the questions. He is a very nice guy. Thanks!

  • Eu reservei as basílicas papais, vocês passaram para a empresa En Roma um passeio diferente que era via Apia e não realizei absolutamente nada! No quero meu reembolso! Pior experiência que tive! Perdi mais de 2h tentando resolver!

  • It was a guided tour that I cannot recommend. Everything was rushed because, as it's known, Fridays in Rome are very crowded, and the guide didn’t know how to get rid of us quickly enough. First, we went to the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus, then to Saint John Lateran Cathedral, and afterward to the Holy Stairs (which are a 2-minute walk from the cathedral). After that, the guide told us that the tour was over. When I told the guide that we were supposed to visit the Sebastian Catacombs as well, he said that there was no such thing on the tour and that I could file a complaint. We paid for something and got a tour where 80% of the time we spent on the bus. The only paid entrance was at the Catacombs of Callixtus (€10), and there were supposed to be another €10 for the Sebastian Catacombs, but they didn’t take us there, probably to pocket extra profit. I do not recommend this to anyone; you can take public transport on your own and save much more money! Oh, and we didn’t go to the Basilica of St. Mary Major either.

  • ha sido una experiencia fantástica. El guía un gran profesional y conocedor de la historia de Roma. Tanto las catacumbas como las basílicas mayores son una visita obligada para el que viaje a la capital italiana. Una excursión de 10
