In planning to stay in the flattest part of Rome (Pantheon Nabe) will a rollator (walker with wheels and a seat) work well on the cobblestones? Ditto a cane?
Also, I assume it would be better to use taxis and private taxis for tours rather than drag the rollator on a public bus or the subway.
Finally, what will it be like for two older women (with cane and rollator) trying to get to see all the famous indoor sites, e.,g., Sistine Chapel, the museums) . Can we go to the front of the line like we can in California (so as to not have to wait painfully)?
Any other info about disabled travel in Rome will be greatly appreciated since I can't find anything in Rick's books about this important topic.
Many Thanks!

To avoid waiting in lines, reserve ahead for the Vatican Museum (this avoids a long ticket line but expect crowds inside to also slow you down), for the Borghese Gallery (less crowded since they limit the number of reservations), and maybe also for the Colosseum (but skip the line tickets are becoming so popular that they're generating their own lines).
