Ticket issue.

1.00The voucher that was sent to me was not a ticket. I did not receive my ticket until about 30 minutes after my scheduled time slot. They offered me half my money back as they said I could still use the audio guide. However I was over half way done with my visit. I’m requested full refund. They did not refund my purchase. II wouldn’t recommend this group for tickets as they where unreliable.
An Unforgettable Experience with Aviator at Castel Sant’Angelo.

5.00My journey with Aviator was truly unforgettable. One of the most memorable moments was visiting Castel Sant’Angelo—a majestic historical site rich with stories. From the top of the castle, the view of St. Peter’s Basilica was simply breathtaking, filling me with a deep sense of peace and gratitude. What made the experience even more special was the chance to sit at a small café, sipping a warm cup of coffee while gazing at the stunning view of St. Peter’s in the distance. It was a beautiful moment of reflection, blending history, spirituality, and serenity all in one perfect scene.

3.00I really want to give this tour (Arena Tours) more than a 3. The tour provider contacted us on WhatsApp the day before giving us all the relevant information which was great! The tickets were great and easily downloaded to use. The only issue of the tour was the map the audio guide follows, it tells you with the map and select which level you’re on, but the rooms itself aren’t fully detailed on the map. But that being said the information provided via the audio guide was excellent! The tour is good and the castle is really amazing with great views and great history. Just the audio guide was a very minor let down But I would recommend this tour.
