A Perfect Tour

Our guide Elisabetta was so friendly and very knowledgeable. She made the entire tour go so well. She met us at the exact meeting point and time as stated and then led us through the tour giving us a lot of information about the Colosseum, the Forum and the Hill. Though the tour is expensive it was well worth it. We were able to move around all of the areas covered in the tour so easily, we were able to hear everything that Elisabetta said and were able to ask her questions along the way. Plenty of time to take pictures. It was a great tour that i would recommend and she was a terrific guide that you would be lucky to get assigned to your tour.

Fantastic Family Day Out

LivTours organized this tour perfectly for our family of five. Our guide kept the kids involved, even acting out scenes at the Arena Floor! They talked about it for the rest of the day.

Our Kids Still Talk About It

Traveling with an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old, I wasn’t sure they’d appreciate ancient ruins. But our guide engaged them with tales of wild animals, emperors, and secret passages. They loved pretending to be gladiators on the arena floor!

Learned Something New at Every Stop

Even the smaller ruins had fascinating stories. Our guide’s passion was contagious.

Highly Recommended for History Lovers

Review: The combination of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Forum gave us such a full picture of ancient life.

The Perfect Birthday Gift

My partner surprised me with this tour for my birthday. Standing on the Arena Floor was the best present I could imagine.

For Photographers and History Lovers

The lighting on Palatine Hill in the afternoon was perfect for photos. Our guide even suggested the best spots for capturing the Forum.

The View from Caesar’s Balcony

That perspective of the Colosseum was my favorite moment. Giulia explained who would have stood there and what they would have seen.

Unforgettable Morning

From the first step onto the Arena Floor to the last view from Palatine Hill, this was a morning I’ll never forget.
