Traveler reviews
The logistics of getting...
The logistics of getting your ticket and then downloading yet another app was such a bad experience. You use up data downloading another app and kill your own battery listening to the audio. I do not recommend this. There are better your companies out there-use them.
Beautiful views and...
Beautiful views and interesting history in the commentary. They had a nice coffeehouse midway through with beautiful views from your table
Unnecessary premium for no service
Sadly there was no line to skip. You’ll be paying a premium for a service that does not exist. If you do join, do not be late. Terms surrounding being late is not clearly indicated on the voucher. My voucher was declared ‘invalid’ after missing the coordinator by 15 mins. Neither did she/the company offer to help/refund despite the monument entry being empty of queues. This raises the question on their supposed ‘timed’ entry.
a highly rewarding experience
We arrived about an hour before our scheduled time and were able to start the tour immediately. It was hassle-free. You must see the Castel Sant'Angelo when you are in Rome.
This was ok experience....
This was ok experience. We did guided tours till now. You should have fully charged phones, headphones so u can hear audio tour. Guides were helpful in getting tickets, helping u download info. Recommend doing this if you are short on time.
