Enjoying history - An interesting castle. We went without a guide so just enjoyed the architecture and we were able to read some of the history.

Great self-guided tour in the castle - After I booked the ticket i received all the information from the agent about how to get the ticket, how to enter the Castle and how to download the audio guide. Everything went well.

Self guided Castel Sant Angelo tour - Easy self guided tour. Would recommend downloading the app for the audio before going. They will send instructions via email before going. There’s also a cute terrace cafe at the tour with amazing views.

Worth the view up top. - Must visit the castle. The audio was close but about 80% accurate. Not lot is open bit the top of the castle view is very worth it. Need to make it known that this is a third party via Viator. You have to download tickets and was only available to us the day before. Audio also.

History and a glass of wine - This castle has a bloody history. It is interesting to see where the Pope lived and hear of its history. Be sure to get a drink and bite to eat in the restaurant. It is a nice way to spend an evening - but be aware that they stop serving food around 4pm and then offer very limited items. Great view from the top of the castle.

Good location, bad downloadable tour - Location is worth seeing but not with this download. Unlike so many audio tours which clearly label each area so you know you are in the correct place, this location doesn’t do that and we had a really difficult time get audio to match what we were seeing.

Don’t purchase this! - It took us over an hour just to figure out how to download this ticket. We never got the audio to work. The sight was fantastic but don’t use this vendor to purchase the ticket. We went about two hours before close and easily could have walked in and purchased a ticket. Great place. Had a roof top bar for a drink at tend of tour.

Terrible Tour - Terrible from beginning to end. After downloading the Clio Muse Tours app, the tickets was with different name and we try to contact support, that never answer. There was no support from Clio Muse Tours, NEVER. We not recommend this tour.
