Ron is not doing tours anymore. He is moving out of Rome.

You can book tickets directly with the vatican at:

They are getting stricter with the dress code for the Sistine chapel so cover those shoulders and knees.

While Ron in Rome is no longer in the tour business, his site still has great info. If you are going to Rome, be sure to peruse his site!

I reserved online, it was well worth the small fee to skip the long line. Be sure to print out your reservation and take it with you. There is a separate (very short) security line for reservations.

I used Ron in Rome's directions to get to the Vatican. They were spot on - also his tips for where to go once you are inside.

Well, do you want to do a tour ?
We had a 3 hr tour that also allowed us to get in through the tour entrance and avoid the lines. The tour was great and informative and we had a small group. We used Presto Tours, and they have an online site and you can checkout tripadviser for reviews about them.
