Informative afternoon - Valeria was knowledgeable and interesting. We were a small group so no headsets were needed. Able to see entire interior of castle. Many steps, in case that is an issue. Great views of Vatican from multiple levels.

Donatella was an amazing guide - Donatella was incredibly passionate about the history of the building and gave us an amazing experience. It was great that she didn’t hold back from any negatives so giving us the full rounded view of the Castel. It is an impressive place and would recommend getting a guide of her standard to give you all the extras that a simple audio guide could never provide. Bravissima Donatella

The guided tour was definitely value added! - Our tour guide gave us so much information- definitely more than we could have gotten by going through without a guide. He seemed to be a very genuine and honest person when he explained the information he passes on to us and why he guides tours. We had children with us and the tour was child friendly as was our guide.

Boring, - There is space for improvement to be honesto. If you are doing a tour with American clients you have to have an Inglish speaking tour guy, there is a disconnect on the lenguaje and the jokes. Nice guy nothing wrong with him.

Guided tour cancelled; audio guide OK. - A few days before the event the operator asked me if I could change the time and date. Neither worked for my schedule. The operator set me up with an audioguide tour, which was OK. Still waiting on the refund. A guided tour would have been much better.

Absolutely Horrible - Unfortunately our tour guide was completely unaware of how to keep a group/tour together. Not once did she look or try to look around to see if the group was together. She was basically a tour guide solely for the few that were able to be right next to her. We lost her 3 times and on our own found her until the last time we completely lost the group and we left the tour not on purpose but bc she was extremely hard to understand and we had no idea when the group was leaving a large area and lost the tour. She was running through the Castel and we couldn’t even see what she was talking about and she would run to the next spot. After spending $300 for a 2 hour tour and only got 49 mins, we were not happy. Unsure how she doesn’t have pages of complaints as a guide.
