I really liked the tour, the girl who gave it to us knew a lot and explained everything very calmly and very well. It was my first tour and I would do it again because I really liked it. Thank you!

As soon as we arrived, the staff at the Castle itself pointed us to where the guides were. No problems regarding that. The location of the Castle is already special. There is a beautiful bridge over the Tiber. The Castle is huge with many places to visit inside. We took the full guided tour with a drink at the top of the Castle included. Like everything in Rome, the Castle has layers of history, from ancient Rome to recent Popes. Highly recommended.

Alec was a great guide, knowledgeable and funny. If you can do the tour with Alec, do it. My wife, who had no interest in Castel Sant'Angelo, she was going because I wanted to, loved the tour.
