The guide (really sorry but we can't remember her name) was knowledgeable and gave us a very comprehensive tour. We would recommend to others.

Great tour of the castle where we learned the different phases of the castle’s history as we walked with a fun guide.
Very enjoyable and informative tour. Our guide, Sylvia, did a wonderful job. Very knowledgeable, easy to understand and all delivered with good humour - really made the tour. Would definitely recommend.
Was amazing. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Site is very underrated. If you only have a few days in Rome it is not a must do, but if you are staying for a bit or coming back for another visit I can’t recommend this enough!
Excellent guide. She was very passionate about describing the history of this magnificent mausoleum-turned-castle. There is a lot of amazing art to explore as well. And the view from the rooftop is a plus.
I loved the Castel Sant Angelo. There is so much history here and it is massive and beautiful. Our tour guide (a British female) had such an amazing knowledge of Rome and the Castel. I could listen to her for hours just for the history alone. I find it fascinating. In saying that, this was a tour of the Castel Sant Angelo, not a history lesson. I loved hearing about everything, but I didn't get to see much of anything. She would stand in one place for 20 minutes talking. She did that about 3 times and that was the tour. We did more standing and listening than seeing. I think we saw 2 rooms and the top. I wish she would have walked while she talked. I loved the history but I didn't get to see the Castel and that is what I paid for. I am disappointed because we didn't see much of the castel and paid a lot of money to do just that. I feel like I have a history of the Castel now and need to go back to actually see it. It should have been both in this tour.
Sabrina did an excellent job today guiding us thru St. Angelos Castle. Answered all our questions. Definitely a asset to your company....
Guide showed up 20 minutes late and then proceeded to waste a lot of time on useless chatter, Had potential to be a great tout
Martina was FANTASTIC!! She made the history of Rome come alive on the Castel St’Angelo tour. By far the best tour in the city. It literally ties all the years of Rome together and created a full understanding. Absolutely an incredible experience and I highly recommend this tour!!
Lots of walking in huge castle…. Interesting. Guide was well informed. Toilets on site………………………..::.
This was one of the best tours we have taken in Rome. Our very knowledgeable guide Martina took us through two millennia of Italian history and the different uses for this building throughout that time. Fascinating, delivered with great clarity of timelines with a great overview of its inhabitants through the ages and Martina entertained us with so many interesting minute details along the way. I can highly recommend this tour.
It was great, I especially enjoyed the tour guide’s style of recounting stories.
This tour is a wonderful way to experience the Castelo. You get its history as you explore deeper, and are rewarded with the vista of Rome at the top. Be prepared for walking up and down on stairs and slopes.
This place is great but only with a guide like sylvia , she has a wonderful calmness about her giving this place steeped in history the weight it deserves. We would not have appreciated a tenth of it without someone telling us the various stories associated with each room each artefact , it would have been just some ancient building .
The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and informative I remember her name it started with an M, sorry Put your begging at 14:00
Estefano and our guide Donatella were fabulous! I loved Donatella’s clear, engaging explanations and her easy-going vibe. She’s definitely a subject matter expert and presented the timeline of Castel Sant’Angelo’s many eras in a way that made its rich history easy to follow and fascinating to learn about. Remember — Trick Trap Door! 😉 Gracias!
Our guide Fabio was excellent. This excursion very informative and interesting.. we recommend this guide and the agency because the staff was very nice
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our tour of Castel Sant’Angelo. Our guide was everything you could hope for – knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging from start to finish. They brought the history of the castle to life with fascinating details and stories, keeping us captivated the whole time. Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious, making the tour not only informative but also a lot of fun. It was clear they truly love what they do, and it made all the difference. I would highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting Rome – they turned a beautiful site into an unforgettable experience!
Irene was our tour guide she was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing the Castel Sant’Angelo with us. The views were amazing !! Interesting history .
Our tour was amazing. We were contemplating going on our own before deciding to book the guided tour. We are so happy we booked this tour. Our guide was great and so knowledgeable. It ended up being one of our favorite things to see and learn about in Rome!
Beautiful views, detailed and interesting explanations, and a lot to see at Castel Sant’Angelo! The guide was excellent, and the support team made everything run smoothly. Thank you to the entire team—everything was great!
An excellent tour. Actually one of the best we’ve ever had… and we are very seasoned travellers. Rosanna was extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, answered questions and helped with photo ops. A fantastic tour that we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. A+
Guide was great. She is very knowledgeable and provided outstanding historical and cultural information. Enjoyed the tour very much.
You will be on your feet for two hours, but every thing is exceptional and well worth it! Our guide Sylvia was so knowledgeable and fun. A real pleasure.
Irene was amazing. We loved her stories and her history of the castle. Our host who met us also was extremely pleasant.
This castle is an amazing fortress. The history is very impressive. Our guide was wonderful and helped us smoothly see everything in one and a half hours because we had another tour to go to. I don’t remember her name but she had short blonde hair and was so very knowledgeable with understandable english which is so helpful.
This tour was amazing. We ware able to see so many interesting things around the Castel. You’ll know something different from the castel when you learn that is Connected to the Vatican.
Arianna was very knowledgeable and passionate. I learned so much. This was a great experience and perfectly timed.
Excellent guide Excellent experience. Guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. Smalll group on l y 4 prol j e
I had a wonderful time and learned so much on this tour. It was a small group and Sirianna made us all feel like this was a private tour bring super patient and answering any and every question we had. She has a deep understanding of the amazing history of the castle and made the tour interesting and fun. Very highly recommended and thank you Siri!!
Even though most of the tour canceled the guide was kind enough to take just me for the tour rather then canceling and she did a fantastic job. Guide was very knowledgeable and personable.
Enthusiastic lady who took care of the tour. Clear instructions in advance on where to be and what time. Very nice to get past the queue this way. We found it a surprising tour and heard a lot about ancient Rome over the years.
Tour guide, Zenda was very informative and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. Gave us a great insight into Rome's history.
The essence of sustainable architecture is versatility. This facility was 2000 years ahead of its time having served as a mausoleum, fortress, prison, Popes’ residence, and museum. It has a fascinating history. Martina made this experience exceptional. Her knowledge of the history of Rome and of the complex is beyond impressive. The views of Rome from the upper terrace are amazing. If you’re exhausted by the crowds at other ancient sites, take a breather and let Martina share with you the history of this incredibly versatile structure.
Donatella. Exceptional. Full of energy. Full of information. I would recommend her to all people wanting in depth tour.
Gloria did a great job! She was very informative and the tour offered some great views of Rome and the Vatican!
Castel Sant Angelo is a beautiful place to visit. Our guide Amanda was super amazing friendly and knowledgeable.
Andy was very insightful and provided very informative insight into the history. He is clearly passionate about history and made us realise how lucky we were part of such a wonderful tour. Thanks Andy.
Wonderful experience with a very pleasant guide. We really enjoyed the tour and will book it again in the future.
We had a great time with our tour guide Sabrina. She was very passionate and detailed with sharing history of Sant Angelo Castle and Roman empire. This was our second visit to the cadtle, but highly recommend doing it with Sabrina.
Sabrina was so knowledgeable!! Exceptional tour. Looking forward to booking again and requesting her to be our guide on another Rome visit.
The guide was amazing and very good at her job. Very informative and interacting with people asweell not just like others who talk and thats it.
We had a wonderful tour with Sylvia C. She was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions! We had teenagers with us and they also had a great time! We recommend this tour with Sylvia to all families! Our thanks to Sylvia for a great trip to Castel Sant Angelo!
This tour exceeded my expectations. Well worth our time to see Castle Sant’ Angelo. Sylvia was an excellent guide. She was so knowledgeable of the history of Castle Sant’ Angelo and was so interesting to listen to. She was pleasant and progressed at a good pace for us. She made sure to ask for questions and point out the amenities for our comfort. I highly recommend this tour and our guide, Sylvia.
We were met in front of the castle by our guide, who informed us that we were the only 2 on the tour. We really appreciate that the tour was not cancelled and our guide proceeded with as much enthusiasm as if we had been a full group. She was very knowledgeable about the history and art of the castle and covered everything thoroughly. She took photos of the 2 of us together & also gave us excellent recommendations for additional tours she thought we would enjoy based on our interest in the Castle. We highly recommend this tour!
Tour guide Alexandra was amazing and thorough. A real wealth of knowledge with great command of the English language
This was our last day in Rome and a last minute arrangement for a tour. How fortunate we were to find this new company! Maria was very knowledgeable and personable, and able to adjust our tour according to our questions and interests. It ended up being one of our favorite tours in Rome.
Our guide, Alexandra, was outstanding. After some last minute no-shows, she decided to take my wife and I on a private tour of the castle. Her knowledge and expertise were beyond impressive. Thank you for taking the time to give us this “private” tour on what was a busy Sunday morning for you. I highly recommend this tour.
The guys at Doooing Experience were terrific. Very organized and friendly, personable and wanted to be sure we had a positive experience. Our guide Alexandra was super knowledgeable. Not just about this specific tour, but about history in general especially Roman and Papal history. Very impressive guide, enjoyable to be with, and a wonderful company. We both had a great experience!
Our tour guide Raffa (sp ?) was excellent, very engaging and informative. The history of the building and the various occupants were very interesting - I always love finding out new things - and this was packed with new details and history of Rome. The views from the top were awesome, and there's a nice cafe to round out the experience. Definitely recommend adding this to your Must Visit list for Rome
