Itinerary

Exclusive Castel Sant'Angelo Private Guided Tour including Early Morning Italian Breakfast with a spectacular view (Cappuccino & Brioche or other Hot Drink). After discovering the history of the bridge, with your private guide you will enter Castel Sant'Angelo to admire the historical development of this important place: first a Roman tomb, a papal residence, fortress, prison, execution ground, and currently a museum offering one of the most amazing views over Rome. You’ll visit several rooms used by the popes. But beyond the amazing decorations, golden stuccos, sparkling marble floors, the castle hides a dark heart: the dreadful prisons, the most terrible one was inserted in a vent over the helicoidal ramp of Hadrian’s Mausoleum, a small room accessible just from a trapdoor. The Castel has also inspired Dan Brown in his best-seller “Angels and Demons”. You’ll climb to the top of the building to the terrace, where you’ll enjoy stunning views of Rome and a great place for selfies.
