Estefano and our guide Donatella were fabulous! I loved Donatella’s clear, engaging explanations and her easy-going vibe. She’s definitely a subject matter expert and presented the timeline of Castel Sant’Angelo’s many eras in a way that made its rich history easy to follow and fascinating to learn about. Remember — Trick Trap Door! 😉 Gracias!

The castle is beautiful, impressive!! It is near the Tigris River , near the Vatican . Currently it is a museum, very worth seeing this place. When I went there was a girl playing violin near the entrance. It became an unforgettable scene passing through the castle and hearing the soft sound that came from a violin
The best Saint Angelo excursion

Getting to know Castillo Sant’Angelo with Martina was a real privilege. Its power of synthesis and the clarity with which it conveys so many centuries of history made the whole tour exciting and our experience in Rome closed with a golden clasp. Thanks to it, all the Roman history we had been discovering on other tours became meaningful and consolidated. Bravo, Martina! Without a doubt, it is worth visiting with a guide like her.

We took a guided tour in English of the castle Sant’Angelo. Our guide was Irene, and for two hours she marveled at her historical knowledge of the castle. She was very warm to us, and made our visit unique. We explored the castle thoroughly. I would do with Irene a tour to go to the supermarket, the best guide I have ever had on all my excursions. The place the only one but without it would not have been the same.
Our tour was amazing. We...
