A digital audio guide covers the castle in several languages, while the rooftop delivers superb views of St. Peter’s Basilica and Rome.

“Entry was very easy — a representative from Crown Tours was waiting at the entrance, gave us our tickets, helped us download the audio guide app, and provided a username and password. Everything was well organized. The only downside is that the ticket is quite expensive compared to buying it on-site. We visited around 4 PM and there were no crowds or queues at all.”

I explain to Viator that this tour far from Rome. I cannot make it and request refund. Because I booked many other tours from Viator. But Viator denied. That not fair.”
