A Beautiful Experience at Castel Sant’Angelo ❤️
We had such a lovely and fun experience visiting Castel Sant’Angelo! The view was absolutely beautiful, especially as we made our way up to the very top. Seeing Rome from there was definitely one of my favorite parts of the visit. The history of the castle was also incredible and made the whole experience even more interesting.
We really enjoyed our time there, and a special thank you to Crown Tours for making the experience even more enjoyable and easy for us. We had such a great time and would definitely recommend visiting Castel Sant’Angelo to anyone coming to Rome

Average at best
Exhibitions seem to have changed since the audio tour was recorded and audio checkpoints were out of order and confusing
Operator response
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Tim. We’re sorry that the audio guide was confusing and that some of the checkpoints did not appear to correspond with the current exhibition layout.
Castel Sant’Angelo may occasionally open or temporarily restrict certain areas for operational, conservation, or organizational reasons, which can sometimes affect the visitor route. That said, the audio guide should remain as clear and accurate as possible.
We appreciate your feedback and will review the content and checkpoint sequence with our team to identify any necessary updates and work toward correcting the issue.
Best regards,
Sky

Must see this landmark in Rome....
The Castel is an amazing landmark, full of history. Booking with Viator was easy and getting the tickets sorted on the day was pretty straight forward. We enjoyed our time touring the castel.
Operator response
Castel Sant’Angelo has so many layers of history, and we’re glad you enjoyed exploring it. It’s also good to hear that booking and collecting your tickets felt straightforward from start to finish. Thanks for sharing your experience.

No show guude
Looked all over for guide. Asked for help from castle attendants and they told us where the guides usually were. After 20 minutes gave up and bought tickets at castle. No text, calls, anything. Wasted money!
Operator response
We’re sorry to hear about this experience. Not being able to find the guide or reach anyone isn’t the level of service we want for our guests, and it’s important that we understand what happened.
Please email feedback@crowntours.com with your booking/reference number and the details of the situation so our team can identify the booking and look into it properly.
Best regards,

Good trip and nice details
The guidance was pre-recorded and worked perfectly. The trip itself was very good.
What worked terribly was that to meet the Crown tour, the location was not exposed, we had to look around and ask the competitors.
A little trick with the app, but we got help with it.
Operator response
Tack för att du berättar både vad som fungerade och vad som inte gjorde det. Det är fint att höra att den förinspelade guidningen och själva besöket fungerade bra, men mötesplatsen borde ha varit mycket enklare att hitta och appen smidigare att komma igång med. Vi tar med oss din tydliga återkoppling.
Vänliga hälsningar,

Good experience. The map...
Good experience. The map directions take you to the end of the path however the agent was at the 1st bench. Not all the slides lined up with each area however you can sort it out.
Operator response
Thank you Christine for the useful detail. We're glad you had a good experience overall, though the map should have led you more clearly to the agent and the audio slides should have matched the areas more smoothly. We'll use your feedback to improve those parts of the visit.
Best regards,

You need to know
The history of this structure is fascinating. I never knew what it was or what it was for and was surprised to learn all the purposes it has been used for since it was built by Hadrian
Operator response
"On a scorching day, time for photos and well-chosen shade can matter just as much as the history. We’re glad your guide balanced all three and never made the group feel rushed. Thank you for recognizing that thoughtful approach, even if his name escaped you.
Best regards,

Bello come la Tosca
Easy to book and easy to enter and follow the rooms with the audio guide
Operator response
We are delighted that the booking, entry, and audio guide were all easy to manage. Room by room, Castel Sant’Angelo is a special journey—almost like an opera!
Warm regards,
