Great Colosseum Tour with Alice

5.00We were so glad to have Alice as our tour guide for the Colosseum! She was incredibly knowledgeable, wonderful with kids, and even took tons of photos for our family throughout the tour. I wish we could have her as our guide for every tour in Rome! She also gave us an excellent lunch recommendation nearby, which made the day even more memorable. While many visitors were stuck in groups of 20+ or trying to navigate the site on their own, we enjoyed a personalized experience that was well worth the cost. It saved us so much time and made our visit stress-free. Highly recommend booking with Alice!
Great Tour! Well worth it

1.00Viator neglected to notify Liv Tours of the change in our tour time. As a result Liv Tours could not accommodate us. Fortunately, Viator refunded our tour fee in full. Yet we wasted vacation time and taxi money (about $60) traveling to/from our hotel and did not tour the Coliseum.
Great tour!

5.00Davido was excellent and super funny! We enjoyed the tour! It was a small group which allowed for lots of questions and interaction. Weather was hot so I would’ve tried to go earlier but our guide made sure we had plenty of shade and rest time.
Great experience
