When you first walk into the castle, it is kinda a hike to get to the top and looks a little underwhelming. HOWEVER, once to the starting floors, there are some of the most gorgeous rooms and insane views. There are so many pathways that connect and keep transporting to new and interesting things. There is even a cafe you can get a snack and drink at. At top, there is a gorgeous view that allows you to see so much of the city and is 100% worth it. I will note however, it is not very handicap accessible. There is elevator down but not on the way up and my grandmother struggled a bit.
Alexandria, Castel Sant’Angelo really does reveal itself layer by layer, from the climb and winding passages to the decorated rooms, café stop, and those panoramic views over Rome at the top. We’re glad the experience ultimately felt 100% worth it for you. Your note about accessibility is also important, especially for guests traveling with older family members, and we appreciate you including it so thoughtfully. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours

Turns out I learned a distant relative of mine helped create the statue of St. Michael the Archangel, Nicola Michetti!

Difficult to find the meeting point for ticket pickup. The explanation is brief.

Better than expected. Some good rooms to see, fairly demanding steps, the view from the top was worth the ticket cost!
Thank you for your review! We’re delighted that Castel Sant’Angelo exceeded your expectations and that the spectacular view from the top made the climb worthwhile. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Very interesting visit. This castle is very interesting and also offers beautiful views of Saint-Pierre.
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis ! Nous sommes ravis que la visite du château Saint-Ange vous ait intéressée et que vous ayez apprécié les magnifiques vues sur la basilique Saint-Pierre. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
This was not a “guided” tour, other than the somewhat limited audio guide they provided. And l, skipping the line, at least for us, was irrelevant. It actually took more time to meet up with them, get vouchers, and then enter than it would have been just to walk up and go.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the overall experience, and we appreciate your comments regarding the areas that could be improved. We will share them with our team. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
This was a very cool place to visit. The views from the top were amazing! I highly recommend this. We received a downloadable audio guide from the tour company, and it was informative. We ended up mostly just wandering around but it was worth it to read/listen to. We spent about an hour there. There is limited air conditioning so in many places, it’s pretty warm! Some rooms were cooler than others.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed exploring Castel Sant'Angelo and taking in the incredible views from the top. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! Best regards, Sky Crown Tours.
Easy meet up, great customer service.
