Fantastic Tour! - This was one of the best tours we have taken in Rome. Our very knowledgeable guide Martina took us through two millennia of Italian history and the different uses for this building throughout that time. Fascinating, delivered with great clarity of timelines with a great overview of its inhabitants through the ages and Martina entertained us with so many interesting minute details along the way. I can highly recommend this tour.

Take this tour! - This tour is a wonderful way to experience the Castelo. You get its history as you explore deeper, and are rewarded with the vista of Rome at the top. Be prepared for walking up and down on stairs and slopes.

Great trip,thanks sylvia - This place is great but only with a guide like sylvia , she has a wonderful calmness about her giving this place steeped in history the weight it deserves. We would not have appreciated a tenth of it without someone telling us the various stories associated with each room each artefact , it would have been just some ancient building .

Fantastic Tour with Donatella — Don’t Miss the Trick Trap Door! - Estefano and our guide Donatella were fabulous! I loved Donatella’s clear, engaging explanations and her easy-going vibe. She’s definitely a subject matter expert and presented the timeline of Castel Sant’Angelo’s many eras in a way that made its rich history easy to follow and fascinating to learn about. Remember — Trick Trap Door! 😉 Gracias!

Unfortunate experience with Doooing Experience - Let us tell you that our experience with the guided tour of the Castle of Sant’Angelo in Rome was, without exaggeration, one of the worst situations we have ever experienced traveling. We were traveling with two adults and a 9-year-old child. When purchasing tickets through Tiqets, it was clearly indicated that the visit for children was free, so we purchased only two adult tickets. However, upon arrival at the meeting point, we were informed that the child could not enter without entry, and the only “solution” we were offered was for two or no people to enter. A completely absurd and unacceptable response, especially in the case of a family with a minor. Far from trying to solve the problem, the situation became even more unpleasant. Doooing Experience guide Martina began speaking in Italian to the castle’s access staff, referring to me as “crazy” and suggesting they not let me in. Absolutely shameful, unprofessional and deeply disrespectful behavior. We tried to contact the company by phone, but were referred to a third party (Civitatis), completely ignoring the situation. In the meantime, the guide decided to continue with the group, leaving us lying around with no solution. The impotence was such that I ended up crying. Only thanks to the empathy of a castle worker, who witnessed the situation, did we finally get all three of them in. But the worst was yet to come. Upon meeting the group again, the guide continued her hostile attitude. He publicly humiliated me in front of all the participants, said again that I was “crazy” and demanded that I leave the group, despite having my ticket valid. When he would not give in, he began physically pushing me away and asked the staff of the rooms to expel me from the compound, accusing me of being a troubled person. To make the situation even worse, one of the participants of the group, also Spanish, sided with them, contributing to an intimidating atmosphere. They cornered me against a wall, pushing me to leave so that the guide could continue the visit. We've never lived like this before. What was supposed to be a pleasant cultural experience for our son turned into an episode of humiliation, helplessness and mistreatment. An absolute lack of professionalism, empathy and respect. We do not recommend this company under any circumstances and I demand accountability against the mistreatment of the Spanish speaking guide, Martina.
