About this tour

Along the way, discover a collection of weapons, Renaissance frescoes, and the richly decorated papal baths of Leo X and Clement VII. Hear the castle’s stories of confinement and the prisoners who faced tragic fates within its walls. Skip-the-line entry makes it easier to begin your visit, while the famous terrace rewards the climb with panoramic views across Rome.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.33 from 6 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
