want to join a private tour of vatican art/sistine chapel week of Sept. 24?

My husband, myself, and our 6-month old baby will be doing a tour of the Vatican's art collection, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica with Context Travel (http://www.contexttravel.com/city/rome/walking-tour-details/arte-vaticana-our-vatican-tour-including-sistine-chapel-and-st-peters-with-reservations). Our tentative date/time is September 25 at 8:00 a.m. Due to the 6-month old baby, we must do a private tour as opposed to the less-expensive group tour. The price for a private tour is 390 Euro for up to 6 people. We are definitely going to do this tour whether or not we are successful in soliciting other participants - i.e., your joining us would be doing us a favor - so we would make it worth your while by asking you to pay 60 Euro each. The price per person for the regular group tour is 85 Euro. (These prices don't include the 19 Euro adult entry fee, in either the group or private tours.) We have toured with Context before and their guides are outstanding. I'm sure there are people reading this who are rolling their eyes in terror or disbelief at the thought of a Vatican tour with a 6-month old child - I would request that they just ignore this post, move on, and kindly refrain from posting a scathing critique of our travel plans. We would be happy to have another family with small children join us, or anyone else who doesn't mind the baby factor in exchange for a big discount on a private tour. If you're interested but September 25 doesn't work, we may be able to do it on another day between Sept. 25 and Sept. 29.

You might get some response on the travel partners piece on this web site, not sure but worth a try.

Lindsay - I was just going to look into booking a tour for september 28th. Are you still looking for someone to do the tour with? I will talk with my husband this evening and see what he thinks.
