It's all very beautiful and should probably be seen if one is going to be in Rome. That said, we would not use this particular tour again. It was an audio "tour", which, quite frankly, was pretty lame. Essentially, there were 13 (or so) 1 to 2 minute audio descriptions of certain elements of the museums. It was lackluster at best. If we were to return, we'd look for another alternative. Possibly going direct to the Vatican website.
As far as the Vatican itself, it's of course beautiful and the museums interesting. We were there on Oct 1 and it was still VERY crowded. We were surprised they allowed that many people in at once.
