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!

Wonderful - The castle is beautiful, impressive!! It is near the Tigris River , near the Vatican . Currently it is a museum, very worth seeing this place. When I went there was a girl playing violin near the entrance. It became an unforgettable scene passing through the castle and hearing the soft sound that came from a violin
