Angelo tenía información espectacular y precisa. Es carismático, gracioso, nos dejó información sobre lugares de interés y además tenía una energía hermosa. Lo recomendamos muchísimo. He hecho muchos tours de Civitatis en el pasado, pero el de Ángelo es el mejor por lejos. Translate this opinion into English.

Renne un tipo encantador. Estuvo sustituyendo a su compañero y a pesar de que no suele hacer mucho tours en español se le entendía muy bien y se esforzó mucho por pronunciar la “r” ya que tiene acento alemán jajajajaja. Con un humor muy español. Translate this opinion into English.

Renne is a charming guy. He was substituting for his colleague and although he doesn't usually do many tours in Spanish, he was very understandable and made a great effort to pronounce the "r" since he has a German accent hahahaha. With a very Spanish sense of humor. Opinion translated. Show original.

The guide Martina was nice, kind and had so many great history about Vienna. It was amazing going see the city with this point of view. I tried to book the tour in English and they said the only option was in English and it was a very good surprise that finally it was in Spanish.

El tour estuvo muy bien para conocer el centro de Viena, situarnos y tener una primera toma de contacto con la ciudad. La guía, mexicana, fue agradable y animada, y nos dio mucha información. La explicación fue amena, aunque con tantos personajes, reyes y acontecimientos es difícil quedarse con todo. Caminamos bastante y a buen ritmo, pero merece la pena para conocer la ciudad. Además, nos dio consejos útiles para el resto de la estancia. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was great for getting to know the center of Vienna, getting our bearings, and having a first impression of the city. The guide, who was Mexican, was friendly and lively, and gave us a lot of information. The explanation was engaging, although with so many historical figures, kings, and events, it's hard to remember everything. We walked quite a bit at a good pace, but it was worth it to get to know the city. She also gave us useful tips for the rest of our stay. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad fue correcta. Éramos un grupo muy numeroso, con lo que a veces costaba escuchar al guía. Con tanta gente, sería importante que el guía dispusiera de un micrófono y diera a los participantes unos auriculares para poder seguirle. Por lo demás, el recorrido estuvo bien, tenía amplia información de la historia por dónde nos iba llevando, dio opciones de dónde comer y asesoró a gente que le pidió información.

The activity was fine. We were a very large group, so sometimes it was difficult to hear the guide. With so many people, it would be helpful if the guide had a microphone and provided headphones for the participants so they could follow along. Otherwise, the tour was good; he provided ample historical information about the places he was taking us, suggested places to eat, and offered advice to those who asked for it.

No sirve hacer un free tour con 50 personas. No se puede escuchar todo, caminar y esperar a todos se complica. Deberían hacer grupos más chicos. Además no tenía megáfono ni micrófono. Igualmente René hizo todo lo posible para que podamos entender.

It's not practical to do a free tour with 50 people. You can't hear everything, and walking and waiting for everyone is too complicated. They should make smaller groups. Besides, there wasn't a megaphone or microphone. Even so, René did his best so we could understand.

Una forma estupenda de empezar a conocer Viena. Josef ha hecho el recorrido muy interesante y ameno, explicando la historia de la ciudad de una manera cercana y entretenida. Nos ha enseñado algunos de los lugares más emblemáticos y nos ha dado muy buenos consejos para seguir descubriendo Viena por nuestra cuenta. Muy recomendable. ¡Gracias, Josef!

Josef ha sido un guía muy competente que se nota que conoce perfectamente la historia de esta ciudad. Ha conseguido darnos una imagen tanto antigua como actual de l situación de viene de una forma muy dinámica y entretenida. El único problema ha sido que en tour había muchas personas lo que en ocasiones imposibilitaba la escucha de las explicaciones. Translate this opinion into English.

Josef has been a very competent guide who clearly knows the history of this city perfectly. He managed to give us both an ancient and current image of the situation in a very dynamic and entertaining way.

Nuestro guía fue René a pesar de que no era nuestro guía inicialmente, fue un encanto , nos explicó las cosas de manera muy clara y además respondiendo todas las dudas que se fueron planteando. El grupo era grande y se supo manejar a la perfección. El español no es su idioma y se supo explicar de maravilla. Buen paseo para hacer el primer dia que estas en viena ya que te da una idea de como organizarte mejor las visitas que podías tener en mente.Un acierto Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide was René, even though he wasn't our initial guide, he was a delight, explaining things very clearly and also answering all the questions that came up. The group was large and he managed it perfectly. Spanish is not his language and he explained wonderfully. A good tour to take on your first day in Vienna as it gives you an idea of how to better organize the visits you might have in mind. A great choice. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía era muy simpático. Las cosas que contaba eran muy interesantes y lo hacía muy ameno. No iba corriendo y esperaba a todas las personas, respetando todos los ritmos. La única pega quizá era que éramos muchos y al no disponer de micrófono (sabemos que está prohibido en Viena) o de auriculares para escucharle mejor, por el ruido de la calle y demás, perdías información (aunque el pobre se dejó la garganta procurando que no pasara). Las recomendaciones que hizo al final geniales también! Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very friendly. The things he talked about were very interesting and he made it very enjoyable. He didn't rush and waited for everyone, respecting everyone's pace. The only downside was perhaps that there were so many of us and, since we didn't have microphones (we know they're prohibited in Vienna) or headphones to hear him better, we missed some information because of the street noise and everything else (although he did his best to make sure that didn't happen). The recommendations he made at the end were great too! Opinion translated. Show original.

Matias, el guia, excelente, nos ha contado la historia de la ciudad de forma muy amena y divertida. La única pega , por eso no valoro la excursión cómo excelente, es que el grupo era muy grande, si bien Matías esperaba a qué estuviéramos juntos todo el grupo para comenzar su explicación. Translate this opinion into English.

Matias, the guide, was excellent; he told us the history of the city in a very engaging and entertaining way. The only drawback, which is why I don't rate the tour as excellent, is that the group was very large, although Matias waited until the whole group was together before beginning his explanation.

We had a great experience on the free walking tour in Vienna. Our guide Chris was very friendly and shared lots of interesting facts and stories that made the tour enjoyable and informative. At times, he went off on a few tangents, but overall the tour was very well organized and definitely worth it. I would happily recommend it to friends visiting Vienna!

La actividad fue muy amena y con mucha información. Realmente esta buena hacer este tour para tener un pantallazo de la ciudad y saber como moverte para no perderte nada. Lo único que me pareció es que éramos demasiada cantidad de personas para una sola guia. A pesar de que ella le puso muy buena voluntad y salió barbara. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was very enjoyable and informative. It's really great to take this tour to get an overview of the city and learn how to get around so you don't miss anything. My only complaint was that there were too many of us for just one guide, even though she was very helpful and did a fantastic job. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía llamado Rui, normal. Puntual. Explicaciones justas y poca empatia con el grupo. Muy educado y buen conocedor de la historia, pero muy plano explicando. La actividad, muy recomendable, pero corta para todo lo que hay que ver en Viena. Justo, justo llegó a dos horas, contando que empezamos 10 minutos tarde.

The guide, Rui, was average. Punctual. His explanations were adequate, but he showed little empathy with the group. He was very polite and knowledgeable about history, but his explanations were rather flat. The tour itself is highly recommended, but it felt too short considering everything Vienna has to offer. It was exactly two hours long, even though we started 10 minutes late.

Tour andando con René, empezamos en opera, Albertina, recorrimos andando todo el centro con muchas paradas con sus correspondientes explicaciones, no se entra dentro de nada, todo desde fuera, terminamos frente Bailica de S Esteban, al final nos recomienda donde comer y comprar. Tour con toques de humor, muy simpático Translate this opinion into English.

Walking tour with René, we started at the opera, Albertina, we walked through the entire center with many stops and their corresponding explanations, we didn't go inside anywhere, everything was from the outside, we ended up in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral, at the end he recommends where to eat and shop. The tour had touches of humor, very friendly. Opinion translated. Show original.
