This is a great location for a tour dedicated to history. As a historian myself, I knew that this castle has hundreds of years of death, violence, war, and intrigue attached to it. But you wouldn’t come away with that from this tour. Overall, this is a good basic introduction for those new to all things Roman. But the tour is oversold as a secrets tour.

Agnus was a tremendous guide. Very knowledgeable and presented the history of the Castel St. Angelo extremely well. Very enjoyable

Our tour guide was Virginia, a/k/a Jennie, she was amazing. She made walking through history so much fun. We learned so much and at the same time laughed and enjoyed typical Italian joy of living. The castle itself had so much more to offer and see than the tour guide books print about it. This was my 6th time in Rome and I had never been bc it was always underrated in guides. I would definitely recommend this on any 3 day visit. A perfect day is to start early in am 7:30 at Vatican and then end your touring day here. There is fabulous frescos, art work, so much history, and beautiful views from up top. This ranks high up as one of my favorite tours in Rome. Also, tour company was wonderful. Very friendly staff at the scene and surprisingly they arrive before the meeting time so you never have that are they going to show up feeling. If you do tours you know what I mean! Highly recommend this tour! Hope you get Virginia as your guide.

Brilliant whistle stop tour. Alec was amazing and very funny. The tour was informative and gave enough information to not feel bogged down with facts. Would absolutely recommend this tour.

Great tour of the site and a comprehensive history of ancient Rome all in one. Our guide, Alex, was friendly and informative. The view from the top is wonderful. The coffee bar was too crowded to get a seat when we were there but if you can find a table it looks like a fine place to enjoy a drink.

I lucked out and got a totally private tour, just me and the guide Fedrica. She was very friendly and gave a huge amount of information about the castle’s history. She was also very patient with me when I wanted to stop and take a few photos. Very nice view from the terrace. Thank you!

I would highly recommend this tour, and definitely add the "drinks on the balcony" to it. The tour guide was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and just enjoyable to be with. We did the tour on Easter morning, which made the "drinks on the balcony" even more special because we were seated at a private alcove facing St Peters Basilica and we were able to see the Pope on his balcony delivering his Easter blessing! Amazing.

After 9 p.m. the day before our tour I was texted by the guide who told me he needed to cancel only "because of Covid" but could do it later in the day (because Covid wasn't then a problem?). We were unable to meet up because of other bookings we had and we were not refunded our tickets. Would not recommend this tour company. We had great experiences with all others.

Tour and tour guide were excellent. It was a small group which made the tour nice and easy to hear. Our guide was very knowledgable about the castle and its history, and explained everything really well. He made sure we saw as much of the castle as possible.
