I knew Castel Sant’Angelo was a fortress, but I had no idea how much history was packed into it. Pia was fantastic, telling us about the popes’ secret passageways and even showing us some amazing rooftop views of Rome. A hidden gem of a tour!

Awesome guide!

I had trouble finding a good Castel Sant'Angelo, until I found this one! Our guide, Dominic, was amazing and super knowledgeable. I took my parents on this tour, and they loved it as well! Well worth having a private guide.

This was our first experience with The Roman Guy - we've loved their videos on YouTube. We were so happy with our private tour guide, Fiona!

There was so much to see here, that I was so thankful that we had a guide. By myself I would have missed half the things that I learned.

My husband decided he wanted a tour of this monument and I'm very happy we did it. The guide was very entertaining and brought the history to life. I can't wait to go home and read more about it with the book I bought.

Amazing

I was so happy that I took this tour. The site is something you can see on your own, but in my opinion you would miss out on sooo much. It was a private tour so the guide was just for our group. She was very entertaining and told us lots of anecdotes that we won't forget. Great time.
