Reviews for Rome: Guided Tour of the Secrets Beneath Castel Sant’Angelo
You don’t get to see anything extra
David_W
We were shown no extra secrets under the castle. We paid four times the entrance fee to just have a private guide but the promise of seeing things not normally seen with a normal ticket did not materialise. Don’t buy this tour it’s a con.
Good for basics

This is a great location for a tour dedicated to history. As a historian myself, I knew that this castle has hundreds of years of death, violence, war, and intrigue attached to it. But you wouldn’t come away with that from this tour. Overall, this is a good basic introduction for those new to all things Roman. But the tour is oversold as a secrets tour.
Wonderful tour

Our tour guide was Virginia, a/k/a Jennie, she was amazing. She made walking through history so much fun. We learned so much and at the same time laughed and enjoyed typical Italian joy of living. The castle itself had so much more to offer and see than the tour guide books print about it. This was my 6th time in Rome and I had never been bc it was always underrated in guides. I would definitely recommend this on any 3 day visit. A perfect day is to start early in am 7:30 at Vatican and then end your touring day here. There is fabulous frescos, art work, so much history, and beautiful views from up top. This ranks high up as one of my favorite tours in Rome. Also, tour company was wonderful. Very friendly staff at the scene and surprisingly they arrive before the meeting time so you never have that are they going to show up feeling. If you do tours you know what I mean! Highly recommend this tour! Hope you get Virginia as your guide.
Great tour!
