Excelente experiencia!! Siempre los free tours con Civitatis son una garantía de excelencia, profesionalidad. Lamentablemente no me acuerdo el nombre del guía pero nos explico todo con mucha calidad y muy claro en los relatos históricos . Repetiremos otras experiencias!! Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent experience!! Free tours with Civitatis are always a guarantee of excellence and professionalism. Unfortunately, I don't remember the guide's name, but he explained everything very well and was very clear in his historical accounts. We'll definitely repeat the experience! Opinion translated.

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!

A fantastic way to start exploring Vienna. Josef made the tour very interesting and enjoyable, explaining the city's history in a friendly and engaging way.

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. The only problem was that there were many people on the tour, which sometimes made it difficult to hear the explanations. Opinion translated. Show original.

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.

René fue nuestro guía y la verdad es que terminamos muy contentos. Se notaba que sabía mucho acerca de la historia que nos contaba, y puso mucho esfuerzo y empeño en que entendiéramos todo, a pasar de las complicaciones del idioma. Súper recomendado! Translate this opinion into English.

Un tour que merece la pena del complejo del palacio de Hofburg. Nuestro guía de origen portugués (perdón que no recuerdo si nombre), nos ha dado todo tipo de explicaciones y nos ha hecho muy ameno el tour. Como sugerencia, intentaría, en la parte final del tour, dar los comentarios en zonas con menor afluencia de turistas, ya que es difícil seguir las explicaciones Translate this opinion into English.

A worthwhile tour of the Hofburg Palace complex. Our Portuguese guide (I apologize, I don't remember his name) provided all sorts of explanations and made the tour very enjoyable. As a suggestion, I would try to give the commentary in less crowded areas towards the end of the tour, as it's difficult to follow the explanations. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía estupendo, muy bien explicado. La única cosa que "mancha" la experiencia es el tema freetour. Creo seriamente que deberíais establecer o recomendar un mínimo de "propina" para el guía, y sobre todo advertir que se debe llevar dinero en efectivo, que no todo el mundo lo lleva desde el covid. tenedlo en cuenta para próximos tours Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was wonderful, very well explained. The only thing that "stains" the experience is the freetour aspect. I seriously believe that you should establish or recommend a minimum "tip" for the guide, and especially warn that cash should be brought, as not everyone carries it since covid. Keep this in mind for future tours. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hoy hemos recorrido Viena de la mano de Rene y nos vamos con la sensación de haber paseado por el corazón de un antiguo imperio. Sus avenidas, palacios y edificios recuerdan el enorme poder que tuvo la dinastía de los Habsburgo durante siglos. Una ciudad elegante, monumental y llena de historia que merece descubrirse. Translate this opinion into English.

Today we explored Vienna with Rene and left with the feeling of having walked through the heart of a former empire. Its avenues, palaces, and buildings are a reminder of the enormous power the Habsburg dynasty held for centuries. An elegant, monumental city steeped in history that deserves to be discovered.
