Hello all! We're interested in the breakfast tours of the Vatican, but nothing on the official Vatican Museums website seems to offer a breakfast tour. Are the breakfast tours only available through private tour companies? If so, can anyone provide a perspective on which private tour operators they've had a good experience with? Thanks in advance!

Since Jan., 2024, the whole process of Vatican tours/ hours has been revamped, and what you're seeking may not exist anymore. Have a great trip!

To my knowledge, there are no breakfast tours of the museums anymore.
There used to be an early-entrance tour which included a breakfast buffet in the courtyard but the Vatican itself doesn't appear to offer it anymore. Google it and It shows up as still offered by some private companies, such as this one....

.... but if you try and make a booking, it's actually not available. Same with others I tried to make dummy bookings for.
