From Emperor to Popes - Silvia was a very knowledgeable and charming guide. She explained us the history of the Castello throughout the years, and some very interesting details about the popes that lived there.

Morning at the Castle. - We did this tour as we missed it last time in Rome. Small group and knowledgeable guide, good pace that caterers well for most. Lots of stairs. Enjoyed the history and view as well as the displays. We had drinks afterwards to enjoy the view at the cafe for a while. Good tour would recommend.

Unhappy with guide - This was supposed to be a 2 hour tour. The guide left us after 1 hour and told us to walk around on our own. He was very repetitive saying the same thing over & over again. The place is well marked with a lot of signage in English. Much better to purchase tickets & go on your own. It is worth seeing the Castle and the view from the top is spectacular
