This was a self guided...

This was a self guided tour, with the skip the line entry. Such a beautiful piece of history, and definitely a must do while in Rome.

Viator terrible experience

Very bad experience. I have arrived at the castle with my family and the reservation has been canceled. Victor has charged me the total and the reservation did not exist.

Self guided audio tour

Easily found the Crown Employee and she helped us download the app for the audio. Some of the audio didn't follow the rooms in the venue but I think that was due to renovations. App was easy to use

Castle

A very beautiful establishment located on a quiet street. The service there is impeccable and attentive. The prices are a bit high, but the overall quality fully justifies it.

Amazing place to visit....

Amazing place to visit. Best views of Rome at the top. Lots of artifacts and artwork! There is a little restaurant/cafe near the top overlooking Rome.
