We have done the visit to Castel Sant'Angelo with Sabrina and it has been 5*. We visited on a day of immense heat and she not only had total dedication but also demonstrated very good historical knowledge about the monument, as well as giving us very good suggestions for after the excursion.

We visited Castel Sant’Angelo with the guide Alberto Riccardi. Every detail of the castle was perfectly explained thanks to a prepared, available, and attentive guide. I recommend the guided tour and recommend Alberto

Excellent guide. She was very passionate about describing the history of this magnificent mausoleum-turned-castle. There is a lot of amazing art to explore as well. And the view from the rooftop is a plus.

I loved the Castel Sant Angelo. There is so much history here and it is massive and beautiful. Our tour guide (a British female) had such an amazing knowledge of Rome and the Castel. I could listen to her for hours just for the history alone. I find it fascinating. In saying that, this was a tour of the Castel Sant Angelo, not a history lesson. I loved hearing about everything, but I didn't get to see much of anything. She would stand in one place for 20 minutes talking. She did that about 3 times and that was the tour. We did more standing and listening than seeing. I think we saw 2 rooms and the top. I wish she would have walked while she talked. I loved the history but I didn't get to see the Castel and that is what I paid for. I am disappointed because we didn't see much of the castel and paid a lot of money to do just that. I feel like I have a history of the Castel now and need to go back to actually see it. It should have been both in this tour.

Guide showed up 20 minutes late and then proceeded to waste a lot of time on useless chatter, Had potential to be a great tout
