Rich history comes alive! - Our guide was so knowledgeable about both the Castel Sant’Angelo but also other sites we could see from the rooftop. It is an easy to moderate difficulty of climbing stairs and inclines. So worth it! The views are spectacular! The history is so rich.

Fantastic place but not enough relevant info from the tour guide - The castle was a fantastic place with lots of interesting history. Unfortunately the guide we had with love Rome, although very friendly, spent 2 hours telling stories about history of romans related to the castle which dragged on and not giving enough information about the castle itself. I could have walked around myself and read the info boards.
