We enjoyed our time with Claudia who was lovely and knowledgeable and did a very nice job. However at $195 for the two of us, this was the most expensive tour we took, including tours of Pompeii and the Vatican at night. Although it was enjoyable, it was overpriced.
Really loved our tour guide - so smart and knowledgeable. We had just 4 in our group so attention to questions and interest were super!! Not only was this informative but entertaining. I would highly recommend to others. Viator has always been our choice every time we visit!
This tour was excellent. Claudia was awesome, very knowledgeable and really made this tour special. The views from the top of the castle were amazing and Claudia was kind enough to take pictures of my husband and I in various places. Told me everything we wanted to know about the castle and learned amazing things while going through the entire castle.
Well informed and friendly guide. Castel Sant' Angelo isn't very grand on the inside, but it is worth visiting once for the beautiful views on the terrace and the layers of history around it. The guided tour definitely helped us understand the monument better.
very nice tour our tour guide was very informative
Very good tour especially skip the line aspect. 2nd time in Rome and did this as hadn't done it the first time around. Only once inside do you realise how large this building is. Plenty included within the 90 minutes.
Really interesting tour. Our guide, Marco, was very knowledgeable and gave us information we would never have been aware of if we toured on our own. The duration was just right - enough to give a good overview of the Castel, but not too long to become tiring. We did this tour in mid-August afternoon. May want to consider booking a morning tour to avoid the heat at that time of year.
