Our guide is extremely talented and passionate, and gave us a comprehensive tour. We had a great experience and our 12 and 14 year year olds were quizzing us after this tour put nicely in a historical perspective. We pack our trips with tours and this one is a special one. Thanks for being generous with your time.

Kudos to a guide named Alec for making this tour an excellent value for money! I would also advise anyone planning to visit the Castel Sant'Angelo to have a guide booked, that way you won't need to stay in line (which was surprisingly long).
