Private After Hours Vatican Tour in August
Hello, is anyone taking the private after hours Vatican tour in August? It is with a group called italywithus and I heard it is fantastic.The cost is 175 euro and you get the place to yourself! I am booked for August 28th while i am in Rome. Very excited to not have crowds. If you have taken this tour with this company please let me know. thanks, shelley

€175 per person ?!?!?!
The only place in the Vatican which I've ever found crowded is the Sistine Chapel : it did spoil the experience but I wouldn't pay €175 to see it without the crowds.

It would be quite a feat to have enough people in the basilica for you to feel "crowded."
As to the Sistine if you feel it is worth the extra money then go ahead.
A report of the experience would be very helpful to others I suspect.

Having looked at the websites, it's just the Vatican Museums (incl. Sistine Chapel). Not that you're going to see everything in 2 hours.
Personally I don't see the point of a guide in the Vatican Museums - I prefer to be able to linger over the parts which particularly interest me.
But if you have unlimited money I suppose it would be worth €175 to see the Sistine Chapel without a crowd.
