It was good, we started on time with a headset. Agnus the guide was knowledgeable and was very engaging. In the end of the tour we felt like we completed all there was to do in the castle, and it was really fun.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept up a good pace to show us as much possible in a short amount of time. The view from the top of the castle was incredible. One of my favorite tours.

Explore Castel Sant'Angelo, popularly known as The Mausoleum of Hadrian with skip-the-line access and marvel at its architecture. Explore the five floors within the castle and wallow in its rich historical splendor as you learn about its facts from your expert professional guide. Discover the art and paintings in the castle that portray the rich history of the country.

Follow your guide to the emperor's burial place, the papal apartment, and the treasury room. Admire the beautiful angel sculptures along the Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge, also known as the Bridge of Angels. Towards the end, get an incredible experience with a panoramic view from the castle's terrace and take stunning photos of the city.
