Skip the Line is the way to go!

Guide was there early and I was able to get my entry ticket an hour earlier. It was not a guided tour so I made my visit at my own pace! Very happy with my experience!

Chaos

The castle is worth seeing but the overall experience was frustrating. Audio files were not in order and impossible at times to know what you are supposed to be listening to. Lots of small spaces in castle with too many people.

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
