The taxi scammers were out in force today outside of the Vatican. There were probably 8 of them standing around outside of their white taxis (all had the Rome certs on the door.)

The head scammer (seems they operate together) told
me it would be 50 euro from there to the Spanish Steps. I got the same trip in reverse in the morning for 10. When I told him he would need to turn on the meter he flat out refused and told me I was in the wrong line to pick up a taxi and to go down the street. I told all of the other fares that were waiting that they are scamming people and left. None of them wanted the fare.
