Castel Sant'Angelo: Admire the historic castle and its ancient fortress. Enjoy places that are generally closed to the public and have a wide view of the Eternal city from its terraces.
Our tour guide, Alec, was SUPER knowledgeable not only about the Castel but about Roman history in general. Definitely had an elevated experience because of him alone. He had a whole book of different images to contextualize what we saw, and I feel like I learned more on that tour than any other experience in Rome combined. Can’t speak highly enough—thanks, Alec!
What an experience! Highly recommend! our GUIDE made the difference! never felt rushed! GREAT views!!!
This was an extraordinary and informative tour. Our guide was most knowledgeable and made historical connections that made it a most rewarding experience
We were shown no extra secrets under the castle. We paid four times the entrance fee to just have a private guide but the promise of seeing things not normally seen with a normal ticket did not materialise. Don’t buy this tour it’s a con.
This is a great location for a tour dedicated to history. As a historian myself, I knew that this castle has hundreds of years of death, violence, war, and intrigue attached to it. But you wouldn’t come away with that from this tour. Overall, this is a good basic introduction for those new to all things Roman. But the tour is oversold as a secrets tour.
Agnus was a tremendous guide. Very knowledgeable and presented the history of the Castel St. Angelo extremely well. Very enjoyable
Our tour guide was Virginia, a/k/a Jennie, she was amazing. She made walking through history so much fun. We learned so much and at the same time laughed and enjoyed typical Italian joy of living. The castle itself had so much more to offer and see than the tour guide books print about it. This was my 6th time in Rome and I had never been bc it was always underrated in guides. I would definitely recommend this on any 3 day visit. A perfect day is to start early in am 7:30 at Vatican and then end your touring day here. There is fabulous frescos, art work, so much history, and beautiful views from up top. This ranks high up as one of my favorite tours in Rome. Also, tour company was wonderful. Very friendly staff at the scene and surprisingly they arrive before the meeting time so you never have that are they going to show up feeling. If you do tours you know what I mean! Highly recommend this tour! Hope you get Virginia as your guide.
Great tour, very impressive overall, so much information and history. We had a great time in here. The tour was on time. Everything was well organized and easy to understand and follow.
Brilliant whistle stop tour. Alec was amazing and very funny. The tour was informative and gave enough information to not feel bogged down with facts. Would absolutely recommend this tour.
Great tour of the site and a comprehensive history of ancient Rome all in one. Our guide, Alex, was friendly and informative. The view from the top is wonderful. The coffee bar was too crowded to get a seat when we were there but if you can find a table it looks like a fine place to enjoy a drink.
I lucked out and got a totally private tour, just me and the guide Fedrica. She was very friendly and gave a huge amount of information about the castle’s history. She was also very patient with me when I wanted to stop and take a few photos. Very nice view from the terrace. Thank you!
I would highly recommend this tour, and definitely add the "drinks on the balcony" to it. The tour guide was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and just enjoyable to be with. We did the tour on Easter morning, which made the "drinks on the balcony" even more special because we were seated at a private alcove facing St Peters Basilica and we were able to see the Pope on his balcony delivering his Easter blessing! Amazing.
After 9 p.m. the day before our tour I was texted by the guide who told me he needed to cancel only "because of Covid" but could do it later in the day (because Covid wasn't then a problem?). We were unable to meet up because of other bookings we had and we were not refunded our tickets. Would not recommend this tour company. We had great experiences with all others.
Tour and tour guide were excellent. It was a small group which made the tour nice and easy to hear. Our guide was very knowledgable about the castle and its history, and explained everything really well. He made sure we saw as much of the castle as possible.
DON'T BUY! DON'T BUY! DON'T BUY! Please don't buy! Tickets are sold and at the time of entering the attraction the ticket is not valid. Don't hand over the ticket. DON'T BUY.
Spectacular. The guide was excellent, he knew the subject and was clear and friendly! Our case was very particular because we had a setback and we arrived about 8 minutes late, we communicated with them and they helped us so that we could catch up with the group. We obviously recommend arriving on time, but this was an extraordinary element of help for us. We are grateful!!
Beautiful visit!! Virginia was a really good guide 😀😀 since I toured in English and I was the only "Italian" participant 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 a really nice person
Directly on the day of our arrival we booked this tour. Our guide Alec not only gave us many insights into the history of Castel Sant'Angelo, but also told us details about the other sights in Rome. The tips we got from him were very helpful for further planning our stay. Thank you so much!
