My wife and I had a fantastic experience with a Private guided tour to Galleria Borghese, in Rome, with LIV Tours. The guide, Sara, was amazing, very knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. She made us understand Bernini and Caravaggio in a much more profund way. Thank you and congratulations.
Wonderful day with Geraldine!

We had a wonderful day with Geraldine. She was very knowledgeable about the castles and the area, and helped us to find great photographic locations, as per our request. The castles are magnificent! Each in their own way. Geraldine was very professional, and adept and learning the types of things we are interested in, and continued to help focus our attention on those things. The lunch activity at Caves Ambacia is not private, FYI to others. We have been touring various vineyards for years but still learned things from Francoise in his tasting event. We very much enjoyed the day and highly recommend Geraldine.

Raphael, our guide, was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the monarchy and of the castles. She was very pleasant and friendly. The wine tasting and the lunch, both included, were fantastic. We would definitely take this tour again.

Great tour of two famous chateau's with a great lunch and wine tasting dropped into the middle. Nicolas was a wonderful tour guide and it was a great experience to have with our newly-adult kids. The wine tasting is *not* an experience that's well suited for young children so if you're with your kids, pick a different option.
Great Day Out

Really good tour and great guide. We did Chenonceau and Chambord Castles and definitely two good choices. Plus an amazing lunch at a winery in between. But since those two castles are so far apart, I wish we had more time to wander around the gardens of each castle so that felt a little rushed. But that was pretty minor compared to the information and really cool stuff we learned about. Did I mention the amazing lunch?
