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.

I had Rai as my guide and he was excellent! He knows so much about the city, its history, and gave us great recommendations at the end for places to eat traditional food, drink good beer, and stroll through less touristy areas to see other sides of Vienna. Opinion translated. Show original.

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. Matías was very knowledgeable, and we had a perfect two hours exploring that incredible city! Opinion translated. Show original.

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.

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. Translate this opinion into English.

I really enjoyed the free tour. The route was suitable, simple, and accessible for everyone. The guide chose the right spots at the stops, both for shade and tranquility. 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.

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.

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.

Agradecemos tu opinión y nos alegra saber que el guía estaba bien preparado y que la visita fue interesante. Sin embargo, tomamos nota de tu comentario sobre los signos políticos y trabajaremos para asegurar que nuestras visitas sean neutrales y sin connotaciones ideológicas.

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.

The tour was very enjoyable thanks to Marco, our guide. He has extensive knowledge of the places we visited today, right in the heart of the beautiful city of Vienna. His unique sense of humor also made the tour more personal and entertaining. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

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.

Excelente guía! Disfrutamos mucho nuestra visita a Viena. Enormes y hermosísimos edificios imperiales, pero sin la historia no es lo mismo. El tiempo se nos pasó volando. Escuchar la historia y al mismo tiempo poder observar los lugares es la forma que me gusta de viajar. Translate this opinion into English.

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.

No recomendaría el tour. Me pareció que éramos demasiadas personas, no podíamos escuchar bien al guía y no proporcionaron algún tipo de micrófono para escuchar mejor. La información estuvo bien, pero he estado en tours más dinámicos y organizados Translate this opinion into English.

He hecho otros free tours en otras ciudades, y este la primera vez que creo que no vale la pena. Mejor invertir el tiempo en visitar los monumentos por tu cuenta. No se para en los sitios importantes (por ejemplo se pasa de largo las fachadas principales del palacio de Hofburg y ni las comenta) Y habla mucho pero se ve poca cosa porque se camina poco y no explica casi arquitectura. No recomiendo a menos que te sobre el tiempo.

I've done other free tours in other cities, and this is the first time I haven't found it worthwhile. It's better to spend your time visiting the monuments on your own. The guide doesn't stop at important sites (for example, he walks right past the main facades of the Hofburg Palace and doesn't even mention them). He talks a lot, but you don't see much because there's hardly any walking and he explains almost nothing about the architecture. I don't recommend it unless you have plenty of time.

Demasiada gente en el grupo. Eramos como 50. El guia nos cambio el de las 9:45 por el de las 10:45. Fue raro porque el guia que lo cambio estaba a las 9:45 diciendo que no llegabamos al minimo de gente. Y despues estaba el mismo guia frances que nos dijo que vinieramos una hora despues con 50 personas. Alguna cosa rara hubo con el guia. Pero nos hizo perder una hora. El guia excelente.

There were too many people in the group. There were about 50 of us. The guide changed our 9:45 tour to the 10:45 one. It was strange because the guide who changed it was saying at 9:45 that we weren't meeting the minimum number of people. And then there was the same French guide who told us to come back an hour later with 50 people. Something was definitely off with the guide. But he made us lose an hour. The guide was excellent.

El guía nos dió información pero me hubiese gustado que al contratar el tour en español hubiera sido un guía de habla hispana. Se esforzó terriblemente en que entendieramos pero la verdad es que había muchas cosas que no se escuchaban porque éramos cerca de 40 personas y no tenía radioguia. Casi ni pudo terminar porque estaba dolorido de la garganta por tanto esfuerzo. Detalles importantes a tener en cuenta.

The guide provided us with information, but I would have liked it if, when booking the tour in Spanish, there had been a Spanish-speaking guide. He struggled terribly to make us understand, but the truth is that there were many things that couldn’t be heard because there were about 40 people, and he didn’t have a radio guide. He could barely finish because his throat was sore from so much effort. Important details to keep in mind.

I travelled with my partner

Lamentamos la falta de un guía de habla hispana y la dificultad para escuchar debido al tamaño del grupo. Todos nuestros tours son asignados a guías cualificados para el idioma indicado. Tomaremos en cuenta tu observación para mejorar en este aspecto. Esperamos ofrecerte una experiencia mejor en el futuro.
