Johan nos permitió conocer un poco de la historia de Viena, de una manera muy especial, datos muy interesantes, lugares y monumentos con mucha importancia. Fue un recorrido ameno, a pesar de la lluvia y el frío, estuvo fenomenal. Danke schön Johan !! Translate this opinion into English.

Esperaba que siendo la guía nativa de la ciudad hubiera dado más contexto histórico. Se limitó a decir qué tipo de edificios eran y si merecía la pena o no visitarlos y qué íbamos a encontrar dentro. Cuando le preguntabas por recomendaciones de sitios donde comer o por cosas típicas se veía que no le hacía mucha gracia. La parte positiva es que se veía que conocía los datos y que hizo un tour ameno. Translate this opinion into English.

I was hoping that, as a native city guide, she would have provided more historical context. She simply explained what kind of buildings they were, whether they were worth visiting, and what we would find inside. When you asked her for recommendations on places to eat or local dishes, it was clear she wasn't very interested. On the positive side, she clearly knew her facts and made the tour enjoyable.

Se notaba que la guía sabía pero era un grupo muy grande. Éramos como 40 Personas. No es culpa de la Guía sino de Civitatis por permitir que tantas personas estén en un grupo. No se puede usar parlantes en Viena y tampoco tenían micrófono con aparatos individuales de audio. Era imposible oírla. Una pena porque se nota que sabía mucho.

The guide was clearly knowledgeable, but it was a very large group. There were about 40 of us. It's not the guide's fault, but Civitatis's, for allowing so many people in one group. You can't use speakers in Vienna, and they didn't have microphones with individual audio devices. It was impossible to hear her. It's a shame because she clearly knew a lot.

tengo otras muchas experiencias con Civitatis i sus freetours, en esta ocasión havía más de 50 personas inscritas, creo que demasiadas. De echo, si en otra ocasión me encuentro con un tour tan nombroso no lo vamos a realizar. El guia lo hizo lo mejor que pudo, pero fue difícil

I've had many other experiences with Civitatis and its free tours. This time there were more than 50 people registered, which I think is too many. In fact, if I ever find myself on such a remarkable tour again, we won't be going on it. The guide did his best, but it was difficult.

A mi marido y a mí nos encantó el free tour con René. Contó un montón de historia de la ciudad y de su arquitectura. Lo único malo es que el grupo era demasiado grande, incluso dividido en dos, porque eran dos guías los que llegaron al punto de encuentro. Éramos tantos que tenían que haber sido tres o cuatro guías. Translate this opinion into English.

My husband and I loved the free tour with René. He shared a ton of information about the city's history and architecture. The only downside was that the group was too large, even split in two, because only two guides arrived at the meeting point. There were so many of us that it should have been three or four guides.

Hicimos el paseo de la Viena clásica de la mano de Angelo, quien no sólo nos invitó a sumergirnos en su historia sino también en su cultura. Además de saber mucho, Angelo tiene un gran sentido del humor y es muy histriónico, lo que lo convierte en un gran guía. Súper recomendable!! Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour of classical Vienna with Angelo, who not only immersed us in its history but also in its culture. In addition to being knowledgeable, Angelo has a great sense of humor and is very dramatic, making him a great guide. Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente tour para poder conocer los lugares más turísticos de Viena. Solo faltaría ir al Palacio de Schönbrunn, Mercado Naschmarkt, Iglesia de San Carlos Borromeo e Iglesia Votiva para así poder conocer absolutamente todo de Viena. Además nuestra guía nos ha dado recomendaciones sobre comida y transporte. Translate this opinion into English.

An excellent tour to see Vienna's most popular tourist attractions.

Bien, pero hay que avisarle al guia que las personas sacan turno por CIVITATIS, ya que cuando llegamos dijo que desconocia quienes eran CIVITATIS, dio una explicacon muy rara y por ultimo miro para ver si estaba anotada para el tour... me parecio muy descortez de su parte

Fine, but you have to tell the guide that people make an appointment through CIVITATIS, because when we arrived he said he didn't know who CIVITATIS was, he gave a very strange explanation and finally he checked to see if I was signed up for the tour... I thought it was very rude of him.

El guía era muy simpático se nota que le gusta su trabajo siempre con una sonrisa en la cara. Nos habló de la historia de Viena y pasamos por sitios bonitos. Lo único malo a destacar es que al estar prohibido los micrófonos no se escuchaba del todo bien, pero el guía puso todo de él para hacerlo posible. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very friendly, and you could tell he loved his job, always with a smile on his face. He told us about Vienna's history, and we visited some beautiful sites. The only negative point was that microphones were prohibited, so it wasn't very audible, but the guide did his best to make it happen. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour nos lo dió Marco, su español es bastante bueno (se entiende muy bien) y nos lo hizo muy llevadero, nos mostró muchos puntos de interés y dió algunas recomendaciones. Pero el tour no cuenta la historia de Viena sino es más bien entorno al palacio de los habsburgo. Translate this opinion into English.

Free tour de día en español. Lo primero que hago en cualquier ciudad a la que llego es este tipo de actividad como toma de contacto. Esta vez no me ha parecido interesante; ha sido lo que diríamos un “pasa calles”. Menos de dos horas, sencillo y simple. A mi me gusta escuchar más datos históricos y curiosidades ... Estoy segura que Viena tiene muchas más explicaciones por saber y por conocer.

Free day tour in Spanish. The first thing I do in any city I visit is this type of activity as a way to get acquainted. This time, I didn't find it interesting; it was what we would call a "street tour." Less than two hours, simple and straightforward. I like to hear more historical facts and interesting facts... I'm sure Vienna has many more explanations to learn and discover.

El objetivo de este free tour es introducir a los participantes en la historia y los principales emplazamientos de la ciudad. Sentimos si no estuvo a la altura de lo esperado. Para recorridos más detallados y personalizados, se ofrecen visitas guiadas a precios más que razonables. Translate this opinion into English.

La experiencia fue muy interesante y enriquecedora. El guía destacó por su trato cercano, amable y profesional, lo que hizo que la visita resultara muy agradable. Como sugerencia, habría sido aún más completo si durante los trayectos entre los puntos marcados se hubiera aprovechado para ampliar información sobre otros lugares de interés en la ciudad, lo cual habría sido muy útil para el resto de nuestra estancia. Aun así, una actividad recomendable para quienes quieran conocer mejor la historia Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was very interesting and enriching. The guide stood out for his warm, friendly, and professional manner, which made the visit very enjoyable. As a suggestion, it would have been even more comprehensive if, during the walks between the marked points, he had taken the opportunity to provide more information about other places of interest in the city, which would have been very useful for the rest of our stay. Even so, it is a recommended activity for those who want to learn more about history. Opinion translated. Show original.

Que se puede decir, nos pareció un tour perfecto, Rene es un perfecto anfitrión que nos traslado sus conocimientos ( comentarios que dicen que no sé le entendía) nada más lejos de la realidad.
