Great experience - This tour was great! The guide was very friendly and answered all our questions. He was making jokes and making the experience interactive. We were able to take some pictures and explore the castle.

BEYOND AMAZING!! - Sylvia!! Our tour guide was AMAZING!! She was soo knowledgable, warm, kind, and very caring. She catered to all of our questions and comments and gave us so much information on Castel. Wonderful tour guide!! The only downside was the GOOGLE MAPS location to checking in before the tour guide. It made us go around the castel and if it weren’t for us using our common sense, we would have been lost and late to the tour. The check in place was right infront of Castel’s gate.

Interesting and Great Views - The tour of the Castel Sant’Angelo was very interesting. We got to see the sights and learn the history within the Castel and also see the panoramic views of the city of Rome from around it and on the top of it.

Easy to overlook but great tour - This was a great tour that we booked last minute because a different tour operator cancelled our booking for the Colosseum with no notice. This was a great tour with a very entertaining guide. Amazing the amount of history you can see in a single site.

Could have done without tour - While our tour guide was great, the castel is fairly small and after I don't know if the tour was really worth it. If you want to know details, then it's great. Otherwise, do this on your own.

Tour guide showed up a... - Tour guide showed up a little late and my tour was supposed to the be express 1 hour and I was paired with a couple that had a 2 hour tour, so I had to leave early as I had another appointment to get too. Plan enough time.
