5.00Caterina, our very experienced guide, was wonderful! We learned so much about the ancient history of Rome. She was so kind to offer to take our photo at any time and we enjoyed her kind spirit. We also appreciated a call from the company when we were late to arrive due to directional challenges. They were so kind and helped us navigate to our meeting point. The day was perfect!
Great tour

5.00Our family (with an 11 and 14 year old) had a great tour! Visiting last week of November and early in the morning felt like we were the only people there! Our guide Dennis was very knowledgeable, taking time to answer all our questions. We learned so much without being overwhelmed by too many facts. Would definitely recommend this tour!

5.00Serena with LivTours was amazing! She was an encyclopedia of knowledge and did a great job of bringing the history of the Colosseum and Forum to life. The max for this tour was six, but it turned out only to be our family of four. Serena was flexible on what we wanted to see and was very attentive to noticing when we needed a break for a sit down or an espresso. Would highly recommend LivTours and Serena.

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Rosaria. It was incredible to be on the arena floor. Having a private guide was really helpful in efficiently understanding context and answering questions given our limited time in Rome. The communication before our arrival was very good. We’ve booked several private tours through Liv and are very happy we did so. Highly recommend!
Best Tour Ever.

5.00Rafaela (Ella) was our tour guide and it turned out to be a private tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Ancient Roman history and all of the incredible history uncovered by the archeological work done at the colesseum, forum , and Palatine hill.
