Turns out I learned a distant relative of mine helped create the statue of St. Michael the Archangel, Nicola Michetti!
What an incredible personal connection to discover during your visit! We’re glad Castel Sant’Angelo gave you such a memorable surprise. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Better than expected. Some good rooms to see, fairly demanding steps, the view from the top was worth the ticket cost!
Thank you for your review! We’re delighted that Castel Sant’Angelo exceeded your expectations and that the spectacular view from the top made the climb worthwhile. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Very interesting visit. This castle is very interesting and also offers beautiful views of Saint-Pierre.
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis ! Nous sommes ravis que la visite du château Saint-Ange vous ait intéressée et que vous ayez apprécié les magnifiques vues sur la basilique Saint-Pierre. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
This was not a “guided” tour, other than the somewhat limited audio guide they provided. And l, skipping the line, at least for us, was irrelevant. It actually took more time to meet up with them, get vouchers, and then enter than it would have been just to walk up and go.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the overall experience, and we appreciate your comments regarding the areas that could be improved. We will share them with our team. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
This was a very cool place to visit. The views from the top were amazing! I highly recommend this. We received a downloadable audio guide from the tour company, and it was informative. We ended up mostly just wandering around but it was worth it to read/listen to. We spent about an hour there. There is limited air conditioning so in many places, it’s pretty warm! Some rooms were cooler than others.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed exploring Castel Sant'Angelo and taking in the incredible views from the top. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! Best regards, Sky Crown Tours.
Easy meet up, great customer service.

This place was so kool. There's a wonderful 360 degree view all over the place where you can see pretty much all of Romw.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed Castel Sant’Angelo and its spectacular 360-degree views across Rome. It truly is a memorable place to experience the city from above. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Read directions on how to get your ticket. It’s not as clear as picking up at the ticket office. You go to a nearby park and look for staff with purple shirts. The staff are located at the back of the nearby park to give you your ticket. Then redeem ticket in the main door that leads to the Castle.

Booked this before we left home....I would recommend anyone to do this as queues sometimes get get lengthy and we managed to skip all this. Got the audio guide on my phone which you get when you get there. Meeting was straight forward enough and went very smoothly. The castle itself was well worth seeing.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! It means a lot to our team to know you enjoyed your visit. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable Crown Tours experience soon. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
We had to ask ourselves to find the girl who gave us the ticket. Thought it would be guided tour but it was audio guide. Nice view.
Tack för din feedback. Vi beklagar att mötesvärden var svår att hitta. Den här upplevelsen inkluderar reserverad entré och audioguide, inte en guidad tur med en fysisk guide, och vi är ledsna om detta inte var tydligt vid bokningen. Vi är ändå glada att du uppskattade utsikten. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
