5.00Wonderful visit and GREAT company to work with!!! Quick responses to any questions. Being able to skip the long lines with my elderly mother was perfect.
Clio Muse Tours is a poor provider of tickets.

1.00The provider of these tickets, Clio Muse Tours, sold us tickets for day that was a national holiday when all museums are free of charge for all people. We entered free with hundreds of other people and had to pay for the audio guide. Clio Muse Tours was of no help on that day and has never answered my inquiries.
Clio Tours is a scam!

1.00No tickets were ever sent (only a voucher for the tickets, which was not accepted) was sent. We did get the audio tour, however, which was so absolutely awful that we turned it off. My booking, handled through Clio Tours, was cancelled as we stood in line. We had to wait in line for 25 minutes in the blazing sun (no covering whatsoever), to buy new tickets. Also, the fact that customers have to wade through email after email and webpage after webpage to find what they need is maddening. I never had this issue with TripAdvisor before, so it must be new or a Clio issue. NEVER AGAIN.
Worth seeing castle with great history

5.00Downloading the audio guide was a bit cumbersome but then worked smoothly with the help of the organizer. Everything went through WhatsApp but was really good.
Scam

1.00Not able to get tickets or contact seller, please don’t waste your money on this! Phone number not working and only emailed voucher for tickets not actual tickets
Stunning views of Rome!

5.00Loved the views of the city of Rome! We learned about the history of the castle and its connection with the Vatican.
Great views but not much else

3.00Tickets were easy, received them the day before. Entry was no issues and there was no line for entry. If you pay for any form of skip line, you are likely eating your money. Audio guide, as others have stated is useless. Mine was out of sync within 2 mins of entry. It asked me to pause and look for a landmark to continue and I never saw it even though I followed the path it requested, to the letter. I ended up giving up. The place itself has great views, but that's about it.
Worth the visit!

3.00Easy booking but just as easy to book on official site. Castle was great worth seeing - go early in summer as it it hot!
Beautiful Views

4.00The views were marvelous. Buy there were insufficient numbers of swords according to my husband. I however had a wonderful time. The rooms were beautiful and the signs were very descriptive.
I got sent away from the audioguide pickup point I had paid for, but still worth seeing.

4.00I booked a timed entry to the castle. It was confusing where to go. I stood in line apparently with untimed guests. I am not completely clueless and can speak some Italian and can read more. I paid for an audioguide. Once my ticket was scanned, I was sent one direction. I soon realized I had been sent away from the audioguide pickup point. It was still a nice visit, and this is a great site to see. But I lost 8€ value and lost some knowledge about the place with sloppiness.
