We would like to get your recommendations for a small group tour of the Vatican Museum. We did a Louvre Tour last year with Paris Walks and it worked very well for us. Thank you!

There is obvious value in a quality museum tour, but be aware that the Vatican Museums are usually utterly packed throughout. I know the Louvre is popular, but I think not every room is like a sardine can. (I haven't been to Paris in ages.) There will be a limit to what your tour guide can do to improve the situation in the Vatican Museums. There used to be tours entering the museums before they opened to the public, but the public opening time is now 8 AM, so you won't beat the masses--though the museums will be a bit less crowded before 9 AM, I think.
