Personally I would not book a tour. I would read up on what the Vatican is about, highlights, art, etc., then take a good printed guide and walk around by yourself.
Note: the Vatican museums are free on the last Sunday of each month:

Taking a guided tour of the Vatican has its advantages, specifically if you have time restraints. One nice thing about the tours is they allow you to skip the lines which during the high season in Rome can be between 2 to 3 hours long. The guided tours do cost more but if convienence outwieghs money I would have to say go with the tour. I was at the Vatican last month and purchased a tour through Viator, mostly because I wanted to avoid the lines so I could see more of Rome. Go to www.viator.com, or simply google "Viator Rome Tours" and it will bring up the proper links. I found them to be very professional and well worth the money I spent. Let me know if you have any other questions.
