Historically Interesting Castle with Panoramic Views - This Castle was quite a good place to visit. The history of the castle was very interesting. The higher levels of the castle were not too strenuous to reach compared to other castles I have visited and the view from the top was amazing. There is also a cafe on site on the upper levels of the castle to enable those who need a rest and refreshment to avail of both. I would recommend visiting this Castle if in Rome.

Skip the line Castel d'Santangelo - Not a lot to say about the skip the queue ticket. Collection of my ticket was easy enough, then I was on my own to go sightseeing. There wasn't really a queue so I'm not sure paying for a skip the queue was worth it, but that's really just down to luck. Thoroughly enjoyed the Castel, lots of area to explore, great views of the city, great mix of Hadrian era architecture mixed with some renaissance renovations and lovely terrace bar with views looking towards the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, where I enjoyed suppli and a very pleasant limoncello spritz

Helpful Way To Save Time and Bypass the Queue - We had an easy time accessing the Castle Saint’Angelo and really enjoyed it. The ticket assistances were able to help set us up with the virtual tour app. Only disappointment was we set out Pantheon time later in the day and never found the tour assistant, so we didn’t complete that add on part of the experience.

Good way to see everything in a short amount of time - I don't remember our tour guide's name, but she was very knowledgeable. She had obviously studied art and history and knew a lot about the Vatican. The museum has so much artwork in it, it's almost overwhelming. Having a guide was both good and bad: she took us to specific pieces and told us about them, then walked us past other rooms. So we learned the history behind several pieces, but didn't have time to stop and look at other pieces that appealed to us. Maybe if the tour had been slightly longer we could have lingered a little. However, there were so many people there it was almost necessary to keep moving. The tour included the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. The guide told us about the paintings in the chapel before we went in, as there is no talking or photography inside. Then she gave us some information about the basilica outside and left us to wander inside on our own. I appreciated that.

Buy Directly - Skip the line at the time we went was unnecessary. There was no line. Not sure if other times of the day would be better but cheaper to just buy directly.

The place is great.... - The place is great. However, we spent a half hour searching for the people who had our tickets. They didn’t had the umbrella neither the jackets that you said. Only thanks to a very kind police woman who helped us we can identify them.
