Great experience. Very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend him. Lots of things to see and learn. Very hot day but we really enjoyed it!

Five stars and would do it again!

Mikaela was exceptional. Her love for and knowledge of Castel Sant’Angelo was on full display. Easy to meet up with, we began with a full history outside and appreciation for what we were to encounter over the next couple of hours. Curious about what we had done already, she expanded on our experience in Rome to date tieing in facts and information that made our tour of the Castel much more impactful. As a local, she had recommendations for other venues, sights, and eateries that might sate our palettes. Always smiling, allowed for plenty of questions and time for photos. We left the tour with our own smiles and a head full of facts that will enhance the memories of our trip. Definitely recommended.

Great tour!

Castel Sant Angelo is a very interesting historical site. We found that having a guide was invaluable - it would be hard to understand what you're seeing without a guide. Our guide, Francesca, was very knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining the site and its role in Roman history.
