We were picked up on time from our hotel (a little earlier, actually) and driven to a meeting location, where we waited for several minutes for the tour to start. There was a cafe, so that was not a problem. Our small-group tour was able to bypass a very long line to get into the Vatican. Our tour guide was very informative and we enjoyed it very much until we got to the Sistine Chapel. At that point our tour guide informed us they were not able to go inside with us and give us information, but we saw other groups with tour guides getting info. This was confusing and also disappointing given the cost of the tour. Also, transportation back was not provided and we did not know this in advance. If you book this $$$$ tour, I think it's important to know these details.

The tour guide was very very patient, and did a great job, even though it was super hot and super crowded. I wish it were more "private" such that not as many people. Still I booked it so late, so I was happy to get in to the Vatican at all.
