Highlights
Enjoy Castel Sant’Angelo in the most exclusive way: a 2-hour private, skip-the-line tour with a certified guide dedicated only to you. With fast-track entry, you’ll focus on what matters—inside one of Rome’s most fascinating monuments, first built as Hadrian’s Mausoleum and later transformed into a papal fortress and refuge. Walk through corridors, courtyards, grand halls and historic chambers as your guide adapts the visit to your interests, with time for questions and photo stops. Finish on the panoramic terrace for unforgettable views over the Tiber, St. Peter’s Basilica and Rome’s skyline. Depending on the option you select, the experience also includes access to the Passetto di Borgo: a hidden elevated corridor that once linked the Vatican to the castle, explored with an additional 1-hour guided visit. (Please note that the Passetto di Borgo visit will be part of a group tour).

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
