You’ll see the settings of Dan Brown’s novel, Angels and Demons, which include Rome’s Piazza del Popolo in the beautiful Santa Maria del Popolo Church.

Having your guide is important, both for the entertainment value and because your guide will play a key role in making your tour an unforgettable experience as you are led on a quest to separate fact from fiction and history from stories in the novel.
Your tour will guide you through the city as you travel in a comfortable air-conditioned coach. From the epicentre of the novel’s action sequences, St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican, you’ll head over to Santa Maria della Vittoria church, where you’ll admire Bernini’s beautiful masterpiece, the ‘Ecstasy of St. Teresa’. You’ll have to look at it very carefully if you want to catch certain clues that are waiting for you there.
Your guide will bring the novel to life and will further enrich your experience by sharing the fascinating history of each of the places on your tour’s itinerary.
About half way through the tour, you’ll grab a coffee at one of Rome’s best café’s, a welcome break as you cover the city end to end in search of clues. This pursuit will take you to well known spots in Rome such as the bustling Piazza Navona, to hidden gems such as Piazza della Minerva, where you’ll learn a little about Bernini’s humorous side.
Your search for the secret meeting place of the Illuminati and the novels’ finale will culminate on the terrace of Castel Sant’Angelo. Originally built as a mausoleum for the emperor Hadrian, this impressive fortress was for many years a safe-haven for Popes and is connected directly to the Vatican by a hidden passageway called “il passetto”, which you’ll be able to see from outside. Listen to your guide expertly recount the dramatic climax of the novel as you admire the equally dramatic view of the city center as seen from Castel Sant’Angelo’s roof
