Castel Sant'Angelo

Jill_G, Mar 2026
The tour did not pair with the app which I downloaded earlier. Previous tours appeared, but not this one so I was unable to hear anything and just walked through the castle reading the signs pretty disappointing. I would recommend only because of the site itself

Worth the price.

Ginny, Nov 2025
The audio guide was better than others but a little more information and details would have helped. And I found it a little confusing at times trying to determine the order of the guide.

Cancelled on minutes before tour.

Dina_J, Oct 2025
I booked and prepaid for tickets about 3 hours before the scheduled time…last minute for sure. I arrived at the venue about 30 minutes early and the description of where to meet was very confusing. There was no one from the tour group onsite and then I received an alert from the tour company 15 minutes before the tour that they could not issue tickets and had to cancel. I requested a refund but they said they couldn’t do it on my original payment method but could on a different card, PayPal or I would have to work with Viator. (Had to jump through hoops with Viator because tour group didn’t notify them of cancellation and am now forced to dispute charge on my credit card now.)

Absolutely do not purchase this tour.

Carla_P, Sep 2025
I booked this tour in the morning for an afternoon tour. There was no information on the website advertisement that a separate ticket would be sent via What's App rather than the traditional ticket dowload through Viator and that the access to the audio guide would be available for download on an app 24 hours after the purchase of the ticket. We arrived at the tour with no knowledge ahead of time about the What's App ticket (I needed to make a phone call to find out) and then upon entering we found out we could not get the app for the audio guide until 24 hours later. The cost of this Viator ticket through Love Rome was twice that of just showing up and buying a ticket on site which included the audio tour. I requested a refund but was refused. Please avoid this tour.

Needs improvement

Jim_A, Sep 2025
The site was fantastic, however the tour provider was poor. You have to jump through hoops to get the virtual tour started and once you get on the site it is poorly developed and difficult to navigate.

No show representing not ticket

Joleen_C, Sep 2025
No representative showed. No tickets had to wait on line and buy new tickets.. probably wont get a refund

Our wonderful visit to Castel Sant’Angelo

Steven_G, Sep 2025
We had an absolutely wonderful visit to the Castel Sant’Angelo. The castle and museum is an incredible building with beautiful artworks, frescos on the walls, statues, models of what the castle looked like in its early days. The views from the top of the castle were spectacular. You could see all around Rome with awesome views of St Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican, bridges over the Tiber River and beautiful gardens below the castle. Well worth the price of the entry tickets.

Excellent

Frank_C, Jul 2025
A fantastic experience in a medieval castle. Thoroughly enjoyable and very informative. Our audio tour was great

Very nice historic site, great views but moderately strenuous due to climbing steps and ramps over 5-6 stories high

Steven_H, Jul 2025
There are a lot of stairs to complete the full tour. It’s broken up into segments so not horrible to do. Views are spectacular, many nice art pieces, good English explanations of the items, and well worth the price of admission.

Wonderful

David_P, Jul 2025
All of the art tells a story. If you are a religious person this place is a must see. We suggest getting there early to avoid lines and they do accommodate to the handicap

Don’t book a tour go on...

Greg_P, Jun 2025
Don’t book a tour go on your own, hardly a line to wait. Plus tour was very difficult to find tickets on line. Nobody from tour company on site to help, very frustrating.

Wonderful views

Karen_B, Jun 2025
This was a great place to visit. Nice to go at your own pace and see it all. The views from the castle were amazing. I would recommend this trip.

Unable to obtain tickets...

Derek_T, May 2025
Unable to obtain tickets from apps or emails original emails stated tickets would be issued in person at meeting point,other people had the same issues with the same company

You don't need 'skip the line' tickets for the castle

Leslie_T, May 2025
we enjoyed the castle, but probably didn't not need to buy 'skip the line' tickets through Viator. There was a small line outside, and this was when Rome was busy. Our directions were a bit confusing as to what to do when we got to the castle to check in. I had to call the tour operator who sent me the QR code to get in. This wasted 15 minutes, of which we could have been inside if we just waited in line.

The castle is absolutely...

Ryan_C, May 2025
The castle is absolutely beautiful! Great memories here as I proposed on the very top over looking Rome. I would definitely recommend spending an evening here

Rome: Castel Sant’Angelo Skip-the-Line Ticket

MarkandPeggy, May 2025
Purchased skip a line tickets for this venue the same morning as we planned to attend. We should have purchased tickets directly and saved 50%. There were no lines whatsoever and we walked right in upon arrival. I also thought I would receive a quiet box at the venue, but discovered I needed to download an app to my phone. Other than that the venue was great and worth the admission price.

Missed this tour which...

Annette_S, May 2025
Missed this tour which really upset me. I did get to go on the bridge which I was very glad for but would have enjoyed this tour.

Why say something and do other?

Monika_A, May 2025
Nobody was there to exchange the tickets...disorganized provider. Before You Go **Meeting Point Info: *Please be at the meeting point 15 minutes prior this activity. *To redeem the Entrance Ticket please exchange this E-voucher with our staff holding a Loving Rome Sign at the entrance of the Castle, exactly situated at Castel Sant’Angelo, Lungotevere Castello 50. "

Great and a good filler.

Mark_S, May 2025
A good do it yourself tour. Good for about an hour. Lots of stairs and steep climbs. Lovely cafe on the third level with great views. Also the rooftop has the best view of Rome.

Excellent

GHADA_E, Apr 2025
Good service, the guide was waiting for me with the original ticket near the gate. Fast and rapid entry to the castle

Great site , poor application

Joseph_T, Apr 2025
Great visit but the app for self guided tour was substandard. It was confusing and only helped us 30% of the time. Get the “skip the line” option if you’re going.

San Angelo Castle Tour

Frank_S, Apr 2025
We enjoyed the self-guided tour of the Castle but we had a little trouble accessing the tickets as the person who was assigned to provide us the tickets was not at the front of the castle. However, a phone call to the office solved the problem as the they sent them to me electronically. We lost a little time and could not access the headsets but we wondered through on our own and were amazed at the sights including the rooftop views. Interesting place to visit as it is a short walk from the Vatican.

Rome

Rama_c, Mar 2025
Stress free visit to the attraction. The agent met us right at the attractions to provide instructions on the use of audio app and the tickets. Highly recommend this package.

Scam; truffa

Melissa_G, Mar 2025
No one showed up to give us the tickets for this tour, so I had to call Viator to have the tickets emailed to me. There was no line in mid-March so there was no reason to pay extra for “skip-the-line”. I paid $24/ticket but the price at the gate was $16/ticket, so this was a scam. We overpaid and were refused a partial refund. I requested a partial refund from both Viator and the tour company, Loving Rome, but both denied the request. Do not book with Loving Rome, because they will not even show up or reply to messages. I do recommend going to see Castel Sant’Angelo as it is an historical castle that your family will enjoy seeing, but do not overpay like I did.

This is a self guided...

Patricia_S, Mar 2025
This is a self guided tour. You have to listen through your own phone ( must bring your own earbuds as not to disturb other guests and be able to share with your party). Was not totally prepared. Still enjoyed the skip the line option. Small and manageable on your own.

Not the best

Natalie_R, Mar 2025
The guide was late. The app that he asked us to download for the audio guide to listen was terrible. It kept stopping and starting don't know if it was from lack of signal or not. The castle itself was great but had no idea audio for most of the tour.

We were the 1st 2 through...

DavinaJanet_U, Feb 2025
We were the 1st 2 through the doors at 9am that was exciting.Very organised & helpful staff. Views amazing , will return & certainly recommend a visit.

I love the castle. It is...

Ryan_W, Feb 2025
I love the castle. It is so unique in its different uses through the ages. The roof at sunset is incredible. However, these sites seem to buy the tickets so I couldn’t buy directly from the castle, but had to buy tickets resale from viator at a substantial increase.

Audio tour informative but not in the correct order that you walk through the Castel

Sara_S, Feb 2025
The skip the line tickets were great and the instructions about how to download the App to our phones and access the tour were clear and easy. Unfortunately the Audio App tour is not in the order in which you walk around the Castel which was very confusing. The first two sections are actually the last two areas that you walk through before exiting the Castel. It’s not until you are nearly at the center of the Castel that the Audio App lines up with what you are seeing. The audio itself is informative the tour organisers just need to spend a bit of time making sure it’s in the right order.

Castel saint angelo

Sarina_B, Jan 2025
We went straight in no queues to wonder at your leisure some amazing views and history behind the castel only down fall is that the bar wasn't open so could have views and refreshments overlooking the front and no souvenir shop that I saw but amazing experience
