Alec was great! He guided us through Castel Sant'Angelo using simple language and everyday examples. He has a pleasant voice and the audio equipment was OK. He responded to individual questions and answered them very well.

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.
