Full description

Pre-book your combo skip-the-line entry ticket and private tour of Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as Hadrian’s Mausoleum. Explore the dark side of Rome through the esoteric messages hidden in the intricate frescoes and statues.

Take a journey back in time and travel through the history of Castel Sant'Angelo from its original function as a dynastic mausoleum to its later role as a fortress of the Popes.

See the secret passage that connects the castle with the Vatican and visit the tomb of Emperor Hadrian. Walk through the papal corridors and rooms and be amazed by the Gran Loggia of Paul III. Marvel at the grotesque motifs and at the illusionistic trompe l'oile painting.

End your tour in the upper terrace, from where you can soak in one of the best panoramic views of Rome.

Stephanie was such a wonderful tour guide. She was knowledgeable and very interesting. The tour was a great pace and covered the Castel’Sant Angelo very well. We truly did skip the line and got a head start on the crowds. At many times it felt like we were the only people there. I would highly recommend this tour to any of my friends.

I was led around the castle with the company Touriks and my guide was Samuele. It was genuinely the best tour I have ever received. Samuele was knowledgeable about the grounds, general history, translated inscriptions, answered odd historical questions from my nerdy wife and I, and pointed out things we might find interesting. He did such a fantastic job. I highly recommend this building as a tour and we sprung for the private tour with Samuele and it was worth it ten times over.
