We found the starting point , no one to greet us or get any information, no coffee or pastry’s offered We were finally shoved into a group of about 40 The guide ran off so quickly, we were down to about 30 people , when we checked into the Vatican security, Next stop we made it to the top of the dome , very impressive and worth it , some took lift some walked up , lost a few more people lol , now down to 20 people, we ended the trip with 8 others We found it very funny , but not suitable if you cant run , it was absolutely chaotic No welcome/ no check in / no sign or welcome , just a few people standing outside a cafe , bonkers !!

Advertised free coffee and pastry but we had to pay for the pastry. My husband needed a scooter so we were told to wait by the exit. The tour guide never came back. Without our tour we were not permitted to enter the right entrance of the Vatican or see the Pieta. We saw members of the tour leaving so we gave up and left. What a waste of time and money.

Best recommendation is to take an early tour! We had a wonderful tour guide who met us at 7:45 am: NO crowds or large groups. Things were setting up for the day outside. Such an amazing up close and exceptional view and descriptions of the history. Dome Climb… elevator appreciated! We could not have done this without a tour. By the end of our tour, it was SO crowded, before 11;00 am!! Would never go in the afternoon when it is hot and crowded. Would recommend this tour highly and we enjoyed every minute. Still in great awe of the significance and exquisite workmanship of this historic and religious treasure.
