Took private tour of Vatican -- museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's -- with Imago Artis Tour company. It was FABULOUS. Private means private; your group only (up to 8 people, for us it was just my wife and I). You get access earlyu morning, before the museum opens to the public, and that means you have a good 30 minutes or more of quiet time in the Sistine Chapel. Our tour guide was Fulvio De Bonis, and you should request him as he is well-versed in the history of the place, the history of the Church and, most importantly, the art (he holds a phd in art history). Excellent English, very enthuisiastic and takes his time to make sure you see what you want to see AND the things you really need to see. Well worth both the time and the few extra dollars to do this one morning in Rome.
