Our wonderful visit to Castel Sant’Angelo - We had an absolutely wonderful visit to the Castel Sant’Angelo. The castle and museum is an incredible building with beautiful artworks, frescos on the walls, statues, models of what the castle looked like in its early days. The views from the top of the castle were spectacular. You could see all around Rome with awesome views of St Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican, bridges over the Tiber River and beautiful gardens below the castle. Well worth the price of the entry tickets.

Very nice historic site, great views but moderately strenuous due to climbing steps and ramps over 5-6 stories high - There are a lot of stairs to complete the full tour. It’s broken up into segments so not horrible to do. Views are spectacular, many nice art pieces, good English explanations of the items, and well worth the price of admission.

Worth the price. - The audio guide was better than others but a little more information and details would have helped. And I found it a little confusing at times trying to determine the order of the guide.

Wonderful - All of the art tells a story. If you are a religious person this place is a must see. We suggest getting there early to avoid lines and they do accommodate to the handicap

Needs improvement - The site was fantastic, however the tour provider was poor. You have to jump through hoops to get the virtual tour started and once you get on the site it is poorly developed and difficult to navigate.

Problems!! - I must point out that I had requested a tour with an audio guide to visit a monument in Rome. But at the time of entry I had problems for the entrance and did not provide an audio guide of the ticket office because your agency is not recognized by the regulations of the service that presides over the monument of Rome. So I spent a lot more than I would have spent with the legal and recognized service of the ticket office, and I didn't get the service I paid for! they shouldn't allow you to sell tickets or admissions! And they should warn unfortunate customers that you are not equated and in order with the official ticket office!

Cancelled on minutes before tour. - I booked and prepaid for tickets about 3 hours before the scheduled time…last minute for sure. I arrived at the venue about 30 minutes early and the description of where to meet was very confusing. There was no one from the tour group onsite and then I received an alert from the tour company 15 minutes before the tour that they could not issue tickets and had to cancel. I requested a refund but they said they couldn’t do it on my original payment method but could on a different card, PayPal or I would have to work with Viator. (Had to jump through hoops with Viator because tour group didn’t notify them of cancellation and am now forced to dispute charge on my credit card now.)

Absolutely do not purchase this tour. - I booked this tour in the morning for an afternoon tour. There was no information on the website advertisement that a separate ticket would be sent via What's App rather than the traditional ticket dowload through Viator and that the access to the audio guide would be available for download on an app 24 hours after the purchase of the ticket. We arrived at the tour with no knowledge ahead of time about the What's App ticket (I needed to make a phone call to find out) and then upon entering we found out we could not get the app for the audio guide until 24 hours later. The cost of this Viator ticket through Love Rome was twice that of just showing up and buying a ticket on site which included the audio tour. I requested a refund but was refused. Please avoid this tour.
