Private Tour - St. Angel's Castle

An excellent experience with our guide, Vincenzo. He is courteous, pleasant, punctual, and—most importantly—professional and highly knowledgeable. We highly recommend him for your next trip to Rome.

We went on a tour with Vincenzo in Sant'Angelo. The guide was amazing—very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

This was a fabulous tour. Vincent was able to bring the history alive with his great storytelling skills. The Castle was beautiful on its own, but the tour was so worthwhile.

Castel Sant’Angelo is a must-visit when in Rome. This historic fortress, originally built as Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, is rich in history and architecture, with fascinating exhibits throughout. Walking through its ramparts and corridors, you get a real sense of Rome’s past, from ancient times to the Renaissance. The highlight is the terrace, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Vatican, perfect for photos. The museum is well laid out, informative, and engaging for visitors of all ages. A memorable experience combining history, art, and spectacular vistas. Definitely worth a visit when exploring Rome!

Vincent was very knowledgeable and passionate in his delivery. He interacted with the group and made it fun. Spoke good English as well.

Entertaining and knowledge guide. 2 hr private tour provided an in depth analysis and reflections. He provided many stories to illuminate the experience.

We had a wonderful 2 hour walking tour with Martina. We have had many tours all over the world with many tour guides and Martina was one of the best!

We booked a private tour of Castel Sant Angelo with Vincenzo of RomeGuides few weeks ahead all through whatsapp. They are all very responsive and they make a point to contact you ahead of time to specify a meting point and a time. Vincenzo is from Rome and he deeply loves his city (how could he not!) he is passionate about knowing all there is to know about the 3000+ yo city. When explaining anything he really throws himself entirely in the explanation to the point that he becomes an attention magnet! Even if you are prone to distraction you are captured by his performance and will remember everything he says for the rest of your life. It's a unique experience our teenagers kids asked to have more tours like this one! Vincenzo also has a thorough knowledge about a lot of monuments or aspects or Rome for example you can ask him quesitons about any random statue or building you have seen in Rome and he would know the answer.... it's not just a job for him it's his passion! We will for certain contact RomeGuides again when we will be back in Rome!

I can highly recommend the private tour of Sant' Angelo Castle! The organization went smoothly, a few days before the start of the tour, there was also a WhatsApp message with the exact dates and a number in case there were any questions or problems. During the tour we were told the history of the castle from scratch, questions were welcome and were all answered easily understandable. Furthermore, the atmosphere was great, as we got two very friendly, funny and helpful Rome Guides, Martina and Barbara, as we could not have wished for better! It was by far the best tour we have taken in Rome and at the end there was even a little surprise as icing on the cake! I would book the tour again and again despite the price, it is really worth it and you get profound insights into the history of the castle and background information about the conditions at that time. Thank you very much, Martina and Barbara! 🙏☺️

We spent a beautiful afternoon discovering particular corners and knowing secrets and compelling stories and a thank you goes to Vincenzo that mel tell her really amazed us.

We took a tour of Castel Sant’Angelo and Palazzo Farnese with Vincenzo, a guide who is now one of the strong points of every escape to Rome. This time the visit to Castel Sant’Angelo, which apparently is not one of the most attractive monuments in the capital, proved to be the scene of a lesson in history, architecture, life and death, paganism and Christianity. The Farnese palace then was the gem that made the weekend unforgettable. If you visit anything in Rome, the enthusiasm of Vincenzo Spina gives you half the joy.

Vincenzo is always a guarantee of quality and pure entertainment. The history, the anecdotes, the attention, the care in the choice of words. Everything was perfectly calibrated and we immersed ourselves in a sunny and hot day inside this beautiful and complex monument that sees the stratification of stories and situations that go back centuries. Inside Castel Sant'Angelo Vincenzo guided us through the papal quarters, Hadrian's Tomb, the field of capital executions, frescoes, the fortress halls, prisons, the famous passetto and a thousand other details that enriched our visit experience, so as to make it unforgettable. Thanks Vincenzo! Until next time

Castle of San Angelo beautiful monument and night even more. It is with the game of lights a recommended beauty ..................

There are few tour guides like Vincenzo Spano. He is extremely well trained and also personable and funny. We could have listened to him for hours! Thank you for this unique tour in Castel Sant'Angelo!

Vincenzo is one of the best tour guides we've ever had! Competent, funny, personable. Simply GREAT! It's fun to listen to him and get carried away by the story. He made our tour of Castel Sant'Angelo a special experience!

Vincenzo is now our personal and affectionate guide when we arrive in Rome. Always very well prepared, he involves you in his explanations so much that he makes you love art and history even more. Thanks again Vincenzo! The best guide in Rome.

Visiting Castel Sant'Angelo in the evening with Vincenzo was passionate and stimulating, as well as narrating the lifestyle of the past, it made us appreciate every aspect of the castle, it seemed like we had gone back in time Super recommended tour, a beautiful experience

I would say that the visit to Castell Sant’Angelo under Vincenzo’s guidance was very pleasant, fun and a discovery! Passionate stories of soldiers, assaults of an impregnable castle. Stories of popes and painters sometimes funny! Beautiful view of the city! Thanks Vincenzo!

We entered Hadrian's mausoleum with the halberd and left diners bowing from Castel Sant'Angelo ... Thanks always Vincenzo for how you make your visits to us "diners" live and how it remains in us, always in the end, that sense of belonging .. to History!! We love you like a family uncle!!

I had the privilege of visiting Castel Sant'Angelo recently with Vincenzo's exceptional tour guide. It was a real pleasure to be accompanied by him all along the way. Vincenzo is an inexhaustible source of knowledge and passion for history and art. With his engaging and passionate guide, he made every moment of the tour fascinating and memorable. He guided me through the various rooms of the castle, revealing their historical importance and enriching the experience with interesting anecdotes. His expertise and attention to detail made the visit even more significant. Not only did Vincenzo demonstrate a thorough knowledge of Castel Sant'Angelo, but he also knew how to answer my questions with clarity and precision. His professionalism was evident in every aspect of the visit. In short, thanks to Vincenzo I had an unforgettable experience at Castel Sant'Angelo. His expertise and passion made the tour extraordinary. Do not hesitate to rely on him to discover all that this magnificent castle has to offer.

A confirmation: they are the best. Every time I visit with Vincenzo, Martina, but also with the other guides, I realize the professionalism and culture of the people who are part of this association. Leave skip the line alone and drop everyone else. Rome Guides is the top in Rome. I confirm even after a more "classic" visit as Castel Sant'Angelo. The red thread that connects Hadrian to many works of Rome is told superbly by Vincenzo. Good!

Die Engelsburg ist auf jeden Fall ein Muss bei einem Rom-Besuch; wir hatten die beste Führung, die man sich nur vorstellen kann und haben so viel gelernt - grazie mille!

Visited Castel Sant'Angelo with my daughters. Thanks to the talented Martina who managed to arouse interest and win the attention of the girls throughout the visit. A site that we were able to appreciate only with the help of explanations and descriptions received. Experience to repeat for new trips.

Weekends in Rome are now always busy with at least one tour with Rome Guides, and it could not be otherwise... Visits with Vincenzo are the ultimate and always a wonderful surprise. It was very pleasant to taste the 'lasagnona' of Castel Sant'Angelo, tasty! Thanks Vincenzo, you are the top!!!

Guided tour to discover such an extraordinary historical monument as Castel S. Angelo always managed with great professionalism, experience, but above all a lot of kindness and availability by Vincenzo of Rome Guides. By now his affability but above all his extraordinary professionalism is known to us. Every sightseeing tour with them becomes a special and carefree day. In addition, we are always enriched with new anecdotes and funny historical cartoons. Thank you so much.

Excellent experience. Castel Sant'Angelo is a unique and decidedly complex monument: full of history, curiosity, art and immersed in the wonders of Rome. Vincenzo skillfully leads through all this, without tiring the visitor but rather favoring interaction at all times

Extremely interesting visit with our guide Martina of "rome guides" who led us to discover the history of the castle with all his knowledge and overwhelming enthusiasm. From beginning to end an inexhaustible source of history and details transmitted with passion and enthusiasm. Thank you Martina

A dip in ancient Rome. Our guide Martina was punctual, precise, nice and helpful

Professionalism, passion and sympathy. The tour of Castel Sant'Angelo with Martina was beautiful and engaging seamlessly. We hope to return to take advantage of other proposals from Rome Guide.

I was very good, Vincenzo always has the ability to dismantle clichés, add curiosity, funny anecdotes between history and legend, with impeccable professionalism. I discovered the origins and history of this impregnable fortress and prison and enjoyed a breathtaking view from the terrace, also taking advantage of the photographer 🤣 thank you always, highly recommended

Vincenzo Spina is an extraordinary guide, who knows how to mix the history of Rome with anecdotes and curiosities, literally making time fly together. Well prepared and professional. We will certainly book more tours with him!

Wonderful experience in Castel Sant’Angelo led by Vincenzo, a real ‘lighthouse’ lit with energy and information on the symbolic Roman site. My wife, I and our 13 and 11-year-old boys lived an afternoon full of suggestions, anecdotes, culture, art that like a machine in time catapulted us into different historical periods, all lived with lightness and simplicity. Let's get ready for the next trip!!!

Vincenzo was a superlative guide: unquestionable preparation, which combined with overwhelming sympathy, turned this tour into an interactive visit that excited us for 2 hours!! Not only historical data and news, but also lots of info and curiosities about the various historical periods covered! Highly recommended!

Not just a guide! Vincenzo Spina the name of our guide for the trip to a fantastic Rome. In three days we visited the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Basilica, Castel Sant’Angelo, the Old Town, the Flavian Amphitheatre and the... We were transported by Vincenzo from one era to another, from one emperor to another, from one artist to another, on a journey through paintings, sculptures, palaces, stories and tales of a city that leaves you speechless at every step! Vincenzo was obviously fundamental. Time in his company literally flew by... an endless well of information, explained with passion and accurate simplicity, anecdotes and stories that made us laugh and have fun.... we would have liked to take him away with us! My friends (cit.) If you are looking for a Guide with a capital G for Rome, ask for Vincenzo. It will be the fairest choice of the entire holiday in the capital. Thank you so much for everything!! Alessio and Tiziana

Vincenzo, an excellent guide. He made us passionate by telling us so much history with passion and skill taking us back as in a time machine. We look forward to arranging another visit in his company. Thank you so much!!!!

Saturday 19/6 I attended the guided tour of Castel S.Angelo with a private group, composed of adults and children. Vincenzo, our guide, was very competent and actively involved the group, always keeping the attention alive. Very positive experience, to recommend.

I had already had the opportunity to take part in a tour with Vincenzo, an engaging and prepared guide, and I was thrilled. So much so that this time I took the whole family with me, children aged 11 and 8 included... Returning home they told me they found the visit and the stories told by Vincenzo very interesting! Bravo, I assure you it was not easy, but you conquered them!!!

Martina was very good at reconstructing the history of the castle over the various eras and made us enthusiastically immerse ourselves in the visit.

It is not the first time I have participated in a visit with Vincenzo as a guide, but each time he confirms his total exceptionality; 2 hours and a half of visit flew. Congratulations again

Good, passionate and engaging! Martina is very prepared and competent, 2 h and a half of visit are flown, enriched by details and ideas never trivial. Stra-Recommended!!

Three hours immersed in the walls and magic of Castel Sant’Angelo with interesting and engaging stories about the history and anecdotes that lie behind this fantastic place. A wonderful experience. Vincenzo, our guide, super!! Visit highly recommended.

Two and a half hours of guided tour that “flew” in the company of Vincenzo, a really prepared and professional guide who passionately explained the genesis of the Castle, telling us unique anecdotes and interacting with us, involving us in the history of this unique place! Stefania and Ivan

Practically the castle was for us...exceptional, from the terrace a wonderful view of Rome. Vincenzo is a special person, impossible to distract himself while telling the story.

We took me and my partner on a private tour together with VIncenzo, very prepared and engaging in his explanations and always available to answer our questions. Basically 3 hours fly inside/outside this beautiful mausoleum/fortress. Highly recommended!
