Colosseum Express Tour | Semi-Private Experience Reviews

Best Tour in Rome

We booked the LivTours Express Semi-Private Early Morning Colosseum Tour with Arena Access, and it was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip to Rome! Our guide, Elisabetta, was amazing. From the moment we met her and began waiting to enter, she started sharing fascinating details about the area, the Colosseum’s history, and its renovations. The early morning access was definitely worth it—when we entered the arena, there were only a handful of other people there, which made the experience even more special. Elisabetta is an archaeologist, and her depth of knowledge was incredible. I learned so much from her throughout the tour. Her experience also made navigating security, entry, and the multiple checkpoints completely seamless, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience. This was by far my favorite part of our time in Rome. If you’re visiting the Colosseum, I highly recommend this tour—and if you’re fortunate enough to have Elisabetta as your guide, you’re in for a wonderful experience!

Marco was FANTASTICO!!!

This was one of the best trips of our honeymoon! Marco was so personable and knowledgeable, he opened our eyes to the history of Rome and the Colosseum and we learned so much! We would tour all over with Marco if we could!

Again, fun and easy

This was our second Liv Tour. And this one was great too. Selina was engaging and funny. We were only at the Colosseum for an hour, but that felt like a good amount of time in the sun. I'd say this is a no-brainer tour.

Barbara, Best Guide Ever!

One year ago this week, we were standing in awe at the Colosseum, guided by the incredible Barbara. Her warm personality and deep knowledge of Rome and its history made the experience unforgettable. We feel so fortunate to have had her as our guide, and I’ve shared her name with many friends who dream of visiting Rome someday—she truly made our trip special.

Express and concise!

Yet very informative! Maybe someone in your party is tired of long days of exploring and wants to get to sit down with a spritz…this is your choice. The entrance will amaze you and the arena will take you back to a time that is unimaginable. Francesca was a wonderful guide. Do not miss this tour of the colosseum

Quick and easy!

Exactly what we wanted — quick entry, small group, expert guide. We did a lot of tours and didn't want anything too strenuous, so the short tour was perfect.

Fantastic tour with so much detail

Passionate tour guide , I wish I recalled her name. We had a lovely other couple in our group from the USA. It was a nice afternoon tour.

Perfect short tour for busy schedules

Marco was so amazing!! He really was our most memorable guide of the whole trip. Our group did have 7 people as opposed to 6, but it didn't make a difference. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and wish we had Marco for the entire trip!

Skip-the-line is worth it!

Middle of summer — super crowded outside, but not for us. Amazing guide too.

Express Colosseum

The tour went well. Barbara was knowledgeable and friendly, and we were lucky to have only ourselves in the group. We had a limited time to explore, and appreciated the tickets afterwards to view the Forum on our own.
