Fun and interesting tour

We chose this tour for 2 reasons: it included the Domus Aurea (Nero's Golden House which is totally underground) and also had the virtual reality tools, which we figured would help get our two pre-teens more interested. For these reasons -- and many more -- this was a fantastic tour which we can heartily recommend. (By the way, the virtual reality glasses make it fun for the adults as well as for the kids!)

Colosseum and Domus Aurea

We had the best experience throughout the whole tour - every place was amazing but what really made the tour so great was Giulia! She was so welcoming to our group and paid attention to what we were interested in and wanted to see. We can't say enough great things about her! The Virtual Reality was very cool because it helped you to visualize what it would have looked like back in time. At Nero's palace we had an archeologist take us underground -- just fascinating. Overall, it was the best tour we had in Italy!

Don't miss Nero's Domus Aurea when you visit the Colosseum

Our guide, Tom, was full of very interesting and memorable information. This small group tour was fantastic. Seeing the Colosseum is one thing but seeing the above and underground Colosseum is absolutely the way to go. Nero's Golden House is awesome as well. It's all buried underground and it's amazing to see how they are slowly excavating the many rooms. This tour will always stick in our memories as "one of the better ones".

A great tour for the whole family

What a great tour! Melanie is full of facts and tells the story of these amazing historical places in such a way that she takes you back in time! This was our last tour in Rome and she was awesome! She genuinely loves her job and her enthusiasm reflects it in her work. This was one of the highlights for my two teenagers thanks to Melanie keeping their attention and making ancient Rome come alive for them! A once in a lifetime experience!

Excellent tour

My wife and I visited Italy for our honeymoon. On our last day in Rome we spent the afternoon with a small group led my Melanie touring the Colosseum and Nero's palace. The sights were spectacular and brought to life by Melanie’s knowledge, enthusiasm and passion. 3 hours flew by as we walked through ancient Roman ruins and listened to Melanie paint a picture of Rome during its rise and fall. We highly recommend this tour, even more so if you’re lucky enough to have Melanie as your guide.

The Virtual Reality glasses are great!!

It was just the two of us for our tour with Melanie. She was extremely knowledgeable and fun and we thoroughly enjoyed spending the morning with her. Livitaly tours are professional and enable you to skip all the lines. You get the facts and can ask any question. Melanie shared funny anecdotes as well as helping paint the picture of the Colosseum as it was in its heyday. Loved the Virtual Reality glasses. Tour of Domus Aurea was led by an archaeologist and she also was excellent. VR experience helped you understand what you can see today. If you want the best, you cannot go wrong with Livitaly Tours. We have done two and both exceeded our expectations.
