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.
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.

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

Christopher_J, Oct 2023

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

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

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

jennifersacct, Mar 2023
Nice audio but a bit difficult to keep track of where you were, pausing and restarting. More advanced issuing if tickets would help rather than relying on download.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello Jennifer and thank you for your honest feedback. I can assure you that your feedback will be transferred to the rest of the team and that we always try to provide a better customer experience. Best regards.
Be careful where you get your tickets.
Kara_R, Mar 2023
I purchased tickets ahead of time for this tour at 6pm. I had many issues trying to access my tickets through email. After contacting Viator they sent me an email that told me to download an app, which I then had to pay for. For an audio tour, which still did not include entry tickets. Luckily there was not a long line, I had to repurchase “tickets” for the third time. The castle itself was a wonderful experience. But getting access was a bit of a nightmare.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello Kara, We are really sorry for any inconvenience this caused you. We always strive for a better customer experience and we thank you for your honest feedback which will be transferred to the rest of the team in an attempt to improve our guides. We hope to see you again in the future. Best regards.
