Experience Rome with archaeologist Elisabetta!

5.00The best way to tour the Colosseum and the Forum, is with a native of Roma and archaeologist, Elisabetta with Liv Tours! We were a family of 6 ranging from ages 13 to 78 years old. Elisabetta was friendly, engaging, very knowledgeable, spoke English fluently and shared a wealth of information with us. Great experience!
Colosseum tour - highly recommend!

5.00Please do not hesitate to book this wonderful tour with Laura. Her knowledge was deep and wide. She remembered names of all the popes all the years and recognized all the important pieces in the museums that we would want to see. Booking the private tour was the best idea because it allows us to see the most important things in an express amount of time. I am certain we would not come away with as much knowledge as we gain a day without Laura‘s knowledge and Expertise. Thank you for a wonderful day.
