This is a frequently overlooked gem!! The 360 views from the top are the best bar none. The history is fascinating too.
This is a fascinating site that evolved over many centuries, and Alec is a terrific guide—superb at explaining not only the structure itself but also how the history of the Castel Sant'Angelo fits within the story of Rome. The terrace at sunset was an added bonus. Very highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Castel Sant’Angelo tour and Alec’s guidance. It’s wonderful that the sunset on the terrace added a special touch to your experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!
One of the best experiences in Rome! The tour guide was awesome! She was knowledgeable and friendly!
We really enjoyed this interesting, low-key, less crowded tour (as compared to tours at the Colosseum and Vatican Museum and St. Peter's!) The castle has a fascinating history and the views from the top level are wonderful - as is the cafe on the roof top as well.
Castle San Angelo requires a tour guide, without that you have no idea what’s the history within those walls and the young lady who guided us was fenomenal, she was very knowledgeable and passionate for the history. My husband and I love it!
The tour was well organized by the tour operator. We started and ended the tour on time. The tour guide provided a lot of historical insights about the castle.
The tour guide was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. The views from this building were beautiful, and it was great to learn more about the history of this place.
I’m giving it a 4-star because when we got there, the tour guide was not there. Then she arrived almost at the time we were scheduled to start the tour. She was very informative and taught us many things about the castle and about San Angelo. I enjoyed it in overall.
Unexpected place we went to. It’s full of history and our guide very knowledgeable of the place she made it easy to learn and know of the place! We are very happy we did this tour.
Great tour of Castel Sant’Angelo with Alec. Loads of history and interesting facts, highly recommended. Thanks Alec
