Beautiful views of Rome! - We decided to get the skip the line ticket I really think is worth it. We visited at our own pace. Please keep in mind is a lot of walking up and down the steps. But everything is worth when you get at the top of the castle and see the best views of Rome.

Great place to visit, ticket easy to use - Awesome place to visit. Ticket was emailed before the experience and was used without any issues at the entrance (and skipped the line for other people buying tickets at the door which was ideal!). Great experience - would highly recommend.

Excellent audio guide, great tour - Straight in with the skip-the-line tickets which were delivered electronically the day before. The guide gave clear instructions as to where you were and what audio was relevant. Castel Sant'Angelo is well worth a visit - interesting and informative - even if you're not a history buff.

Good information - The audio was helpful to give context to what I was seeing. I especially appreciated the numerous reminders to download the audio while I had WiFi and prior to getting to the site.

Worth the view up top. - Must visit the castle. The audio was close but about 80% accurate. Not lot is open bit the top of the castle view is very worth it. Need to make it known that this is a third party via Viator. You have to download tickets and was only available to us the day before. Audio also.

The self guided tour was... - The self guided tour was fine, but we had a problem getting the audio part of the tour to work. In fact we never got it to work so ended up paying for something we never used.

Good location, bad downloadable tour - Location is worth seeing but not with this download. Unlike so many audio tours which clearly label each area so you know you are in the correct place, this location doesn’t do that and we had a really difficult time get audio to match what we were seeing.

Could NOT get tickets from app - When I clicked on “get tickets” in the app, it said “Oops! We’re sorry, an error has occurred” and I could not get the tickets or find anyone from the tour company. I’ll be asking for a refund.

Don’t purchase this! - It took us over an hour just to figure out how to download this ticket. We never got the audio to work. The sight was fantastic but don’t use this vendor to purchase the ticket. We went about two hours before close and easily could have walked in and purchased a ticket. Great place. Had a roof top bar for a drink at tend of tour.
