      Amazing
      Danielle_P, Sep 2022
      We did a private tour it was amazing. Highly recommend. There were steep stairs but easily done. The view of rome from the top was breath taking. Easier entrance. Plenty of bathrooms and even a Cafe inside for water or drinks. Ask about the worst cell in the castle for prisoners!
      Tour the Castel!

      We had a little difficulty finding the meeting spot (our fault, not theirs) and we were 10 minutes late. Our guide was very patient and waited for us despite temperatures that exceeded 100 degrees. The tour was very thorough and we were able to see the entire interior of the Castel. Our guide explained the amazing history of the Castel. We were glad we signed up for this tour.
      Perfect depth and contexy

      Our guide (Serena) was amazing, she provided the right level of detail to cover the history while tying the story together with immense knowledge and passion. This is a must for students of papal history or just Rome, you will be impressed.
      Great Tour
