Private Colosseum Tour Including Ancient City Reviews

Wonderful tour!

Our private tour of the colosseum and ancient city with Manuela was a wonderful experience for our group! We had an 11 and a 4 year old with us plus some adults who were new to Rome and a couple who had been before. Manuela was warm, engaging and very knowledgable. She expertly navigated us around the various steps in the process so that we didn't have to stress about anything. We especially enjoyed her sharing the Then and Now pictures from her book so that we had a better appreciation of what we were looking at and its historical context. My daughter immediately bought her own version of the book after the tour and even mentioned that the tour "went by quickly". High praise for a 3 hour tour by an 11 year old!

Amazing historical and fun tour

We absolutely loved our private tour with Stefania. The Colosseum was truly a marvel and Stefania was able to lead us around very efficiently and we really appreciated all the little details she was able to tell us about the construction and how the arena would have been used. The Forum/Ancient City was stunning even in the ruins. Stefania had great visual aids that helped bring her tour to light. Highly recommend booking through Liv Tours - they are so organized and offer really great experiences!

Rome with Lucy!

Lucy was incredible and very knowledgeable. We had an excellent tour of Rome's ancient ruins. The Colosseum was awe-inspiring, and Lucy's detailed information brought the history to life in a fantastic way.

Colosseum and Ancient Sites

We had an amazing time on our first visit to the Colosseum and the nearby ancient sites. The experience was greatly enhanced by Marie, whose friendliness and extensive knowledge of the history of these locations made the tour exceptional. If you're planning to visit, Marie is the guide you need.

Luciana in Ancient Rome

We took a private guided tour with Luciana for the Colosseum and Palatine hill. Luciana was friendly, engaging and very happy to answer any questions. It was fantastic just to have her to ourselves. She paced the tour really well for us, stopping whenever we wanted for more information and photos. Highly recommend.

Simply amazing!

Our private tour with Gigi was amazing. She was on time, knowledgeable, kind and had a great handle on the English Language. She even took the time to find a wheelchair for an elderly relative in our group. Gigi had a sound understanding of Roman history and was able to answer all questions. She even had an iPad that was very useful to understand how it used to look. I highly recommend Gigi and look forward to booking with LivTours again.

Highly recommend!

Thank you so much to Liv Tours and huge thanks to our fantastic tour guide, Elisa, for the wonderful private tour of the Colosseum and the Forum. When my husband fractured his leg literally days before we were due to make our trip to Naples and Rome, we thought that our sightseeing tours would be ruined. Liv Tours came to our rescue and with an upgrade to a private tour, we were able to make the most of our time at the Colosseum and the Ancient City. Our guide, Elisa, was incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic to our situation, amusing, enthusiastic and helpful in every way to make the ancient world of the Romans come to life for us. Our 13-year-old son was engaged the whole way round (Bravo - no mean feat!) and we found our way around relatively easily with the wheelchair and crutches. These small group and private tours are really very well organised and there was great communication throughout. I would recommend Liv Tours to anyone visiting Italy.

More than a guide, a knowledgeable friend.

Laura was again fantastic! More than a guide, a knowledgeable friend. Everything was wonderful. Thank you for all you do for people to enjoy discovering and learning. Also I valued the good communication and the good resolution to misunderstandings.

definitely a 5-plus star rating

My husband and I were so happy that we'd booked a tour to see the Colosseum and ancient part of the city. There is so much to learn about and to comprehend that we would not have had such a fulfilling experience if we had tried to go on our own or in a larger group tour. We felt very exclusive with our private guide, Luca, who along with being very professional and knowledgeable, was completely dedicated to making the day unforgettable for us! We can certainly recommend this tour to you and give it the highest possible rating.

Unforgettable experience for all ages

We were in Rome this past spring with our two granddaughters (age 8 and 10). We booked the Colosseum and ancient Rome tour with LivItaly because of the many good reviews and comments regarding family-friendly tours and tour guides. After our experience, we are happy to add our high rating to the list. The girls loved the tour and especially our guide, Davide, who knew just what would be interesting to them and how to present it to them. That's not to say that my husband and I didn't have a great time as well! We all learned so much and will remember this tour and Davide for many years to come. Great job, LivItaly!
