Just in case I do not do a tour guide: Follow Rick Steve's advice and go through the Vatican Museum without the audio tour first (pay), exit at the side of the Sistine Chapel (for tours, but noone cares as long as you don't have the audio tour equipment), then go through the souvenir shop an get into line to buy the St. Peter's Basillica tickets. This way, you bypass giant flow-controlled Basillica line. It's NOT cutting because you are comeing from the Museum.
