Stunning views of Rome!

Kathleen_C, Oct 2025
Loved the views of the city of Rome! We learned about the history of the castle and its connection with the Vatican.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello and thank you for your feedback. We are glad the audio guide helped you explore the castel. 😊 Best, Jo

Worth the visit!

Sharon_B, Jul 2025
Easy booking but just as easy to book on official site. Castle was great worth seeing - go early in summer as it it hot!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hello there, and thank you for your feedback! 👋 We're glad you found the process easy and we hope you enjoyed the self-guided audio tour! ✨ Best regards, Olga

Swift to resolve issues

Kathryn_L, Mar 2025
This is a brilliant way to access the Castel. We had to queue for a little while but go in within 5 minutes, this may be longer in higher season. We did have an issue in the first place with us not receiving the email with the tickets on for us to be able to access the castel. However, a quick call to the number provided and she emailed the tickets there and then, even hung on the line while i checked i had them and was able to access the Castel. Cannot recommend enough

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Kathryn, We're so happy to hear you had a great experience! It’s wonderful that our customer care team could assist you quickly and that you were satisfied with our service. Thank you for your feedback, we’d love to guide you again in the future! Best regards, Olga, Marketing Dept.

Great History

Jamie_D, Dec 2024
Great history. Only bad thing was the audio didn't match the numbers on the exhibits, and it was hard to follow. The views were breathtaking, and the information was good. Just didn't match up.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Jamie, We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the venue and found our information helpful! Thank you for your feedback—it’s invaluable in helping us improve. Could you kindly let us know which number didn’t match the exhibits? Occasionally, venues change the order of their exhibits, and your insights would greatly assist us in addressing this. Thank you once again! Best regards, Olga Marketing Dept.

Must do but try a different tour.

Deena_M, Oct 2024
Castle Saint Angelo is amazing and I highly recommend visiting it with a skip the line entry. The audio tour we purchased had great information on sites in the Castle but did not have specific directions for getting from one site to the next. We found ourselves happening upon rooms after the commentary because we were not directed to a specific location. Also the map and “path” given do not match the current flow of traffic allowed in the castle or the directions given on the tour.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Deena, We’re delighted you enjoyed your visit to Castle Saint Angelo and found our self-guided audio tour informative. We apologize if some of our instructions were unclear, and we truly appreciate your feedback. If possible, could you let us know which parts of the tour didn’t align well with the navigation instructions in the audio? This would be incredibly helpful, as we are constantly working to improve. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and we will certainly check with our team to see if current traffic patterns might affect the audio guidance. Thank you again for your valuable input. Best regards, Olga, Marketing Dept

The self guided tour was...

Gary_B, Sep 2024
The self guided tour was fine, but we had a problem getting the audio part of the tour to work. In fact we never got it to work so ended up paying for something we never used.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Gary, We’re very sorry to hear that. We always recommend reaching out to our customer care team so we can assist you with any issues. Please contact us at support@cliomusetours, and we’ll be happy to review your case and see if a refund is possible! Best regards, Olga, Marketing Dept.

Great place to visit, ticket easy to use

Bradley_I, Sep 2024
Awesome place to visit. Ticket was emailed before the experience and was used without any issues at the entrance (and skipped the line for other people buying tickets at the door which was ideal!). Great experience - would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Bradley, We’re happy to hear that you had such a great experience and that everything went smoothly! We would love the opportunity to guide you again on your next trip! Best regards, Olga, Marketing Dept.

Excellent audio guide, great tour

Michael_P, Sep 2024
Straight in with the skip-the-line tickets which were delivered electronically the day before. The guide gave clear instructions as to where you were and what audio was relevant. Castel Sant'Angelo is well worth a visit - interesting and informative - even if you're not a history buff.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Michael, Thank you for your feedback! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed your visit and we delivered the experience you expected! Looking forward guiding on your next trips! Warm regards, Olga, Marketing Dept.

Good information

Simone_N, Aug 2024
The audio was helpful to give context to what I was seeing. I especially appreciated the numerous reminders to download the audio while I had WiFi and prior to getting to the site.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Simone, We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our tour and found it helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience. We always aim to communicate in the best way possible! Best regards, Olga, Marketing Dept.

Don’t purchase this!

Patty_M, Jul 2024
It took us over an hour just to figure out how to download this ticket. We never got the audio to work. The sight was fantastic but don’t use this vendor to purchase the ticket. We went about two hours before close and easily could have walked in and purchased a ticket. Great place. Had a roof top bar for a drink at tend of tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Patty, We are sorry for the inconvenience you experienced downloading tickets and audio. In our emails, we send instructions on how to redeem tickets and audio. However, in this case, it's recommended to call or text our support team and provide with your reference number so our agents resolve the issue. Thank you for your understanding! Kind regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Worth the view up top.

Gabriel_M, Jun 2024
Must visit the castle. The audio was close but about 80% accurate. Not lot is open bit the top of the castle view is very worth it. Need to make it known that this is a third party via Viator. You have to download tickets and was only available to us the day before. Audio also.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear Gabriel, Thanks for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with us. It would be helpful to us if you could send detailed feedback regarding the tour at support@cliomusetours.com. As you said, the tickets are available one day before the selected date, however the audio is available earlier. Hope to guide you on your next travel adventures! Kind regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Terrible Tour

Magali_O, May 2024
Terrible from beginning to end. After downloading the Clio Muse Tours app, the tickets was with different name and we try to contact support, that never answer. There was no support from Clio Muse Tours, NEVER. We not recommend this tour.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Magali, Thank you for your review. Please, contact us at support@cliomusetours and provide your booking reference number. Our support team will check your booking and proceed accordingly with the actions needed. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Kind regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Great self-guided tour in the castle

Peter_M, Apr 2024
After I booked the ticket i received all the information from the agent about how to get the ticket, how to enter the Castle and how to download the audio guide. Everything went well.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Peter, greetings from sunny Athens! Thanks for your review! It's great you had a smooth experience using our app! We hope to guide you again on your next travels! Best regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Self guided Castel Sant Angelo tour

Mei_Y, Apr 2024
Easy self guided tour. Would recommend downloading the app for the audio before going. They will send instructions via email before going. There’s also a cute terrace cafe at the tour with amazing views.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello Mei, Thanks a lot for your review! It's great you found the process smooth and enjoyed your visit at Castel Sant' Angelo! Hope to guide you again on your future travels! Best, Angeliki, Product Dept.

History and a glass of wine

susan_w, Apr 2024
This castle has a bloody history. It is interesting to see where the Pope lived and hear of its history. Be sure to get a drink and bite to eat in the restaurant. It is a nice way to spend an evening - but be aware that they stop serving food around 4pm and then offer very limited items. Great view from the top of the castle.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Susan, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit using our app. Your tip for lunch will surely be helpful for fellow travelers as well. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next travel adventures. Best regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Good tour (and skipping...

Derek_A, Jan 2024
Good tour (and skipping the line alone was worth it!) but the one thing that took some time to adjust to was the audio guide didn't tell us very well when and where to press play, pause, etc... There were descriptions, but they weren't terribly clear, and my party and I didn't really get into the grove until we were through the room of urns without realizing it... That could well be on us, but a more direct "when you see X, press play on chapter 4" wouldn't hurt. Once we got caught up, loved it, and recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear Derek, Thank you for your feedback on the audio tour. We appreciate your suggestion to enhance the user experience by incorporating pauses at stops. We will certainly consider this improvement to make our tours better. Looking forward to welcoming you back for an even better experience. Warm regards, Angeliki Product Dept.

Castle experience

Henry_W, Nov 2023
Castle was very beautiful and the audio tour was very informative and helpful, but the directions on where to go and how to get to the next place was less than helpful. Glad we had some time do walk certain areas more than once.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Henry, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you faced with the directions. We are on it to see what we can improve so you can have a more than great experience. We hope to see you on your next travels! Warm regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Site was cool, walk audio tour could not be found

Carla_R, Oct 2023
Even though I downloaded the walk tour from Clio Muse as directed I could not locate it in the app once I was there.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Carla, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience you faced with the location. In the instructions is written the spot where you must be so you can start your tour and listen to what you see. Remember that if you struggle with issues, we have a dedicated support team that can solve any issues or questions you have regarding your tour. Kind regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Audio tour was confusing

Christopher_J, Oct 2023
Audio tour was awful. Confusing to navigate and we never found some of the places on the tour we were supposed to see

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Christopher, We are sorry for this inconvenience while using our app. We always make the best for our tours to be precise and informative to offer you a great experience. Please send us detailed feedback on the places you couldn't find using our tour to see if we can correct something on our end. Kind regards, Angeliki, Peoduct Dept.

Tough Walk But Worth It

Francis_B, Sep 2023
Castel Sant’ Angelo is one of those landmarks where walking at your own pace is necessary. There are upward sloping pathways that makes it hard for someone with little endurance or have walking issues, so you stop as you go. Having the audio at your own pace works for that. Be aware if you or someone in your group has difficulties with stairs or slopes. You are rewarded with a nice garden area at the top with a wonderful view of Rome.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Francis, We are so happy that you found the tour convenient! Exploring at your own pace is always a good idea, and helps you take your time when you need to. We hope to welcome you back soon for your next travels! Best, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Castle

Herb_M, Sep 2023
Excellent tour!! Would definitely recommend this. So much to see beautiful views from the top of castle. Cute little Cafe for afternoon snack.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Greetings from Clio Muse Tours! Thank you for your feedback! It's great that you enjoyed your tour with us! We hope to see you soon on your next travel adventure! Best regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Skip the audio and book a guided tour or self guided

Carolee_B, Sep 2023
The castle is amazing and a must see. The audio tour is hard to follow as the map and signage at the caste do not correspond well to the screen prompts. Numbers on signs at prominent features and rooms are completely different from the numbers on the audio tour. The map for the audio tour does not follow the natural flow. An update from the Castle curator, Viator and Clio Muse is in order. This could be done so much better. Touring on your own or with a guide would be better. The coffee shop is high end with table service. A lovely respite and must experience. The vistas can’t be beat.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Greetings from Clio Muse Tours, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the castle. It's good to hear you found it unique and a must-see. We appreciate your feedback about the audio tour and will work on improving our map. Your review is valuable, and we hope to provide you with an improved experience. Warm regards,

An informative audio guide, but not updated for current visitor traffic

Achilles_I, Sep 2023
The convenience of pre-booking this tour and the ability to download an audio guide ahead of time were beneficial for this tour. Additionally, the material contained in the audio guide was very helpful in learning the immense history of this monument. With that, however, there was one major pitfall. Due to restoration and/or renovation being done on-site, the audio guide is not updated for changes to the flow of visitors. As a result, I wound through the cafe/bookstore/terrace areas several times in search of the correct path forward until I ultimately sought the exit.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Achilles, Thank you for your review. We're glad you found pre-booking and the audio guide helpful. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by ongoing renovations. We note this issue to see what we can improve in our tour! Best, Angeliki, Product Dept.

View was worthwhile but would pass on the audio tour. Staff were rude and abrupt and not helpiful.

Felicity_W, Jul 2023
The audio tour was not in line with the itinerary. It was too fast and didn’t easily allow for pausing.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Greetings from Clio Muse Tours, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for your inconvenience while using our app. We address that it was difficult to pause the audio. Your feedback is valuable for improving our app and providing you with exceptional tour experiences. Kind regards, Peri, Customer Care Dept.

No way to get tickets, no contact

MumuM, Jul 2023
Tour didn't happen. No way to get tickets, no response from the agency located in Greece by phone or WhatsApp. Working hours stated different on Viator page than on voicemail. Will see if we get the money back.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear MumuM, Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, we couldn't find your booking in our log with this username. For your information, our call center working hours are 8:00 am until 4:00 pm. Please email us at support@cliomusetours.com and provide your reference number to get a refund for the audio tour. Kind Regards. Asimina, Customer Care Dept.

Castel St. Angelo

Joseph_C, Jun 2023
Not on a tour. Skip the line ticket. My wife and I did not care for the steps involved in this site. However, with that being said, the museum was very nice and the view of Rome from the top was beautiful.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Greetings from Clio Muse Tours, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you chose Clio Muse Tours for your visit and enjoyed Rome's beauty. We hope you will use our self-guided audio tours next time and tell us your feedback! Best regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.

Surprise! You are stranded!

Sibyl_W, Jun 2023
Truthfully, I cannot rate this product. There was a train strike which forced all time allotted for Rome, also including the Sistine Chapel and Vatican City, to melt away into the heat of the day. It was very sad and very frustrating. When traveling in Italy, especially the south, leave time (like a whole day) for surprises like this or others.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Sibyl, While we cannot predict strikes or weather conditions, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Your tips are much appreciated, and we'll take them into consideration to enhance our services. If there is any feedback regarding the audio tour, feel free to share it at support@cliomusetours.com Kind regards, Angeliki Product Department
