Can you recommend any guided tours of Vatican City? Approx. how much does it cost? We are going to Rome for 3 days. SHould I reserve a whole day for Vatican city?

When you get to the vatican and go through the security area to get to St. Peters Basilica, look for any FREE english language tours. They are free and very good. They will give you an overview of the Vatican, take you on a free tour of the Basilica and explain lots of history. After the tour, you can do a tour of the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel and a pretty reasonable cost with them. I have done it, recommended it to my cousin who was just there in Feb. they loved it also. Remember the Vatican museum is 7 miles of walking if you do the whole thing. The tour takes you to the important parts of the museum so you can do it a lot faster that way. The Vatican depends on you (half day vs whole day). Enjoy your trip!
