The meeting point address...

Lucille_B, Jun 2026

The meeting point address on our ticket was incorrect! We eventually got to the correct place after a call was made to the tour company. This tour was listed as 1.5 hours long and included a Guide for St Peter's Basilica, Papal Tombs and Dome. The first 2 parts of the tour were good. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the information he was providing. This part of the tour lasted closer to 2 hours which included walking from the meeting point to the Vatican and then going through the security line. Once we were done the St. Peter's Basilica and Papal Tombs part of the tour, it was time to go for the Dome Climb. We had to go outside and wait in the queue. This is NOT a skip-the-line ticket. After waiting for over 30 minutes and not being close to the front of the line, we decided to leave the tour. It was very disappointing as the total tour was advertised as being 1.5 hours. If you include the wait in queue time and actual climb, the tour would be at least 3 to 4 hours (depending on queue time). We decided to go to the Vatican official website and bought tickets for the next day with a specific entry time.
