This was a great tour. Our guide Sylvia was very knowledgeable about the castle, the history of Rome and the Vatican. She was an excellent storyteller and professional., which made the tour very interesting and kept us fully engaged throughout. She spoke very good English. She took the time to learn the name of everyone in our group. The group was small. We visited Castel Sant'Angelo in the afternoon 5.00 am. At the end of the tour we could also sit in the small bar - restaurant inside the castle where the view was amazing. We highly recommend it. Thank you Sylvia!!!!
