      Ok, but not great.
      Visited Hadrians mausoleum, but there is very little of the old history left. Most of it has gone because of other uses of the building, and removed by subsequent popes. So a little disappointed, but the views from the top are good.

      Cancelled
      I cannot rate the experience because they canceled on us late evening the night before . They offered a new time but we already had another obligation. For me, it was incredibly frustrating because we had a set amount of time for our visit and I made the reservation weeks before.

      One of our FAVORITE spots!
      This was off the beaten path and one of our FAVORITE spots we saw in Rome. The scale of the baths is so impressive. Walking through it and the grounds - imagining what it was like back in the day - was very cool! We walked up to the booth and bought tickets right then, no problems. Would highly recommend adding this spot to your "things to see" list in Rome!

      Don’t buy!
      DO NOT BUY THIS! They charge you 23euro pp for the entrance ticket, it says nowhere that it is not included. Read reviews from viator also, they charge you extra for a lot of things. Many people in our group complained and they changed the terms on the website afterwards. SCAM! The guide was late, speaks poor English and rushed through the most interesting parts. The sound in headset was very bad. Worst experience ever!

      Good view
      Great view of room from the top, but was a hike to get there. Easy to find and get into the building.

      Awful customer service and not worth it
      We queued for ages only to get to the ticket office to be told that the credit card machine had gone down. Fortunately, we could scrape enough cash together to pay to get in. Most people though, didn’t have cash and were refused entry. The customer service was awful! Was it worth it? For the views of Rome yes, otherwise no. There are a lot more impressive places to go and see than this. Would I go again? No! My advice...do the Forum tour and see the views from there. Now, that is amazing!

      Dont use Tripadvisor
      I do not recommend using Tripadvisor. I ordered tickets to Borghese museum Rome but Tripadvisor would not let me access the tickets to enter the museum. Museum staff phoned Tripadvisor who were not interested to help. Tripadvisor charged €133 whereas museum would have cost €60. I would never use Tripadvisor again. Unhelpful, expensive and a waste of money

      Amazing view!
      Would advise to book tickets beforehand so you can quickly enter the museum without having to wait 30-45 minutes in line. The castle has an amazing view, a lot of stairs to reach it but definitely worth it. The audio guide is not really worth it, in my opinion. The staff that was supposed to explain how it worked wasn't really motivated and lacked motivation. The best is just to take your time, see all there is to see, and have a coffee on top. Be aware that there are a lot of people taking 'selfies,' which kinda ruins the moment, but oh well...

      Interesting.
      We found this visit interesting, and little occupied after such a busy day. From the top, you have beautiful views of the city and of the Saint Angelo Bridge and river. The café inside was very good and if one is lucky to find a 'window' spot, their cocktails are delicious.

      Ripped off!
      We were sold tickets and then sent a link to tickets that didn’t work! We had to pay again at the gate to the excursion! Viator refuses to refund our money because the link to tickets works now! Don’t deal with them!!!!

      Vatican City
      The guide was amazing her knowledge was great worth every penny . It was organised and we could here on headphones we didn’t have to wait long to go in Vatican much easier to skip queue . Peter basilicas church was amazing we couldn’t get headphones but it didn’t matter as the guide went through a lot before we went in This is a must to see and we were taken down were all the popes tombs were

      Good but...
      First off, we had to pay another 22 euros on top of the tour fee because admission was not included. The tour guide was very funny, charismatic amd knowledgeable. The tour itself was good until we got into the museum. There were SO many people that we could not hear the guide well through the headsets. It was extremely overwhelming to try to listen, follow the the guide, and also appreciate the museum. We ended up branching off and going our own ways so we wouldn't have to worry about as many things.
