We booked the tour with city wonders and at the start I was a bit apprehensive about the duration, I didn't think it would be enough time... but I'm happy to report i was wrong, the guide was a living breathing encyclopedia, her knowledge was astounding. Covering even more than just the castle!! I brought my teenage daughter, who's attention span isnt the best, and even she never became bored! The best thing was that even though the tour was an hour, we were able to stay in the Castel at our leisure once it ended. Couldn't recommend the tour and city wonders enough, fantastic value for money!!
Perfect if you’re short on time. The tour was super easy to follow and the guide kept it moving, but we still got all the key history and stories. In just 1 hour you see the highlights, learn the main facts, and skip the overload. Great balance of quick + informative. Would recommend if you want the essentials without spending half a day.
It’s just a 2 hour tour and you can see without tour guide ,But you have the incredible history of this castle explained and it has Hundreds years of history. Our guide Agnes knew all of it and explained everything
Really great experience! I had already visited Castel Sant’Angelo, but this was the first time I did it as a guided tour, and honestly it’s really worth it. The guide taught me a lot and had plenty of interesting anecdotes that made the tour truly come alive. I highly recommend it!
Michaela was a fabulous guide! Great stories, knowledgeable and friendly. Paolo was a great driver. Would highly recommend this tour. Worth it.
The tour sounded really cool. Little did we know that you should have read the book or watched the movie. We had issues at every stop because of All Saints Day. Our poor guide was beside herself. She tried really hard to get is into everything otherwise she would show us pictures of what we missed. Any other day it would have been a 5 star
Roberto, our tour guide was amazing!!! He was an excellent tour guide! He was enthusiastic and entertaining!
We got to know Rome from the point of view of Dan Brown. That was a great experience. Rob did a great job. We can recommend the tour to anyone. A beautiful day in Rome.
A must see for Amy fans of Angels and Demons (book or movie) walk through Italy as the story unfolds. Learn fact from fiction. See amazing sites of Rome in the comfort of a van. Our tour guide Rob made the story come to life as he portrayed the characters acting out events and having visual guides to help. It was like watching the movie, reading the book, but instead of seeing it in your mind or on the screen it is happening live right in front of you!
Even my daughter who has not read the book but has seen the movie thought it was one of the best tours we took during our stay in Rome. Our guide was well excited about highlights in the book as well as knowledgeable on historic sights within the area of our tour. The minivans were a bonus as most tours are walking tours.
