Audioguide It was not indicated that it would be downloadable to the cell phone. We did have headphones, but the jack was for the traditional audio guide, not for the phone. This required an internet connection, and not everyone has the right package. Time-consuming procedures, ticket collection point not indicated, unclear booking information. However, the girl who finally took charge was competent. Difficult to manage the photo application. Little historical explanation. Problems managing stages.

The castle was interesting. Too bad the ticket person was not wearing the uniform to identify her clearly. So waited 45 minutes until we realized who she was. Could not connect to WiFi audio well

Everything as described. The audio guide is an app - could have gone into more detail about the history here and there It was more along the lines of "Americans, quick, quick"

We really enjoyed our visit. The site and structure were very interesting and the views of Rome and the Vatican were impressive. The audio guide was helpful but could be organized in a way that is more helpful to the user experience. It takes a moment to figure out what order you are supposed to listen to the audio.

The building is amazing and the history was amazing. I loved the views. The audio was difficult to follow at times and the groups esp their leaders were extremely obstructive.

Finally, at the Castle's terrace, drink in remarkable panoramic views over Rome, the River Tiber, and Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge, a great opportunity for you to take some pictures!
