As a part of a small group led by a expert guide, you can skip the long lines to the Castel Sant`Angelo and start a 2-hour tour. Begin the adventure from the famous Castle, founded by the Emperor Hadrian that was transformed into his monumental tomb. The historical building was used by the Popes as a private residence, a treasure of the State, a prision and a place of public executions throughout the years. In just 2 hours , you`ll get a chance to discover the rich history of the Castle and its magnificent architectures and paintings. The guide will show you the place of burial of the late Emperor, the Pope's appartments and the treasure room. Admire the beautiful scuptures of the Angels along the so called, Ponte Sant`Angelo, also known as the Bridge of Angels. End your incredible experience with a panoramic view from the Castle's terrace where you can take pictures of the splendid city.

Our tour guide Alescia was wonderful. Very personable, warm and accommodating to our slow walking. She had a wealth of information and presented in a professional but fun way. The downside was description of your indicated some stairs, there were 270!
Some without any handrails and nothing but earthen walks to help maneuver. All in all fabulous view of Rome from the terrace, worth the stair climbing if you can do it.

Great tour, Bogdan our tour guide was super knowledgeable and knew all the tricks and shortcuts in the Colosseum.
His explanations were great and he handled the group perfectly.
The only downside, not his fault, was the poor quality of the audio equipment provided

The site was outstanding and we really enjoyed the historical Aspect and beautiful views of the city. However, we were terribly disappointed that the tour guide spent a great majority of the time bashing the catholic christian church. We understand that everyone has a personal opinion about politics and religion but we were on vacation and were on the tour to learn about Roman history and to see the castle . His constant complaints become tiring as we were trying to enjoy viewing the architecture and art on display.
Unfortunately, Our tour guide had pornography on his phone that he reported was linked to the Catholic Church on display for everyone to view and at that point being offended, we walked away and concluded the tour on our own.
We recommend this tour but not this tour guide.

Lots of history and facts! Our guide gave a lot of information about the history of the building but also the history of Rome and Otaly for context. The views were beautiful and she did a good job pointing out the major monuments to give us a sense of how the city is laid out.

Thorough. Our guide knew her stuff. She told some interesting stories that I hadn't heard before, so I enjoyed that.

The guide continuously kept stating he did not believe in God and was putting God down as well as people who believe in God down. I understand people have a right to their opinions and if he would have said it once fine, but he said it constantly throughout the whole tour. For a tour that is centered around religion he should have been more mindful of his audience. Then at the end of the tour the guide say in a disingenuous manner I apologize if I was offensive and then laughed. It was offensive.

Was very happy with our small group tour of Castel saint Angelo. Booking through Viator was easy and responsive. Our small group of 10 was perfect for asking questions of our very informative guide. The actual tour company Living Rome was in place early and easily accessible. Recommend!
