Great tour with Paola!

We had a great time and so appreciated all the knowledge she gave us before each step. She was very cognizant of our needs (we had one person who had trouble with the stairs) and found the best viewing spots! Please don't hesitate to use LivTours! This was my second time using this company and I will continue to do so. Brava!

Unforgettable Experience

We took several small group tours on our family trip and Paola F. was one of our favorite guides. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about ancient Roman history, so all of us learned a lot. She adjusted to the needs and interests of our six family members, told interesting stories, and found all the best spots for viewing and photo taking in the Colosseum and on Palantine Hill. She navigated the crowds very well and we never felt rushed or crowded. Paola was easy to understand and had graphics that enhanced our understanding. A fun, beautiful, memorable, and educational morning amongst the Roman ruins!

Incredible day discovering the Colosseum & The Roman Forum

We had the best experience with Paola, who wasn't only extremely knowledgeable but made the tour interesting and memorable. I couldn't recommend this experience enough as without a guide we would have had no idea about half of the information regarding what we were seeing. Thank you so much Paola, you made our first visit to Rome one we will never forget.

Amazing!

Was such a great tour. We were awestruck to say the least! Our guide Giada - she was THE BEST!

Memorable Experience

This was a great experience. I went with Liv Tours because it’s not your typical 30-person tour. The tours are typically capped at six people, so you get the guides' undivided attention, which makes it feel more engaging. Our guide, Loretta, was as delightful as she was knowledgeable about the History of Rome. She provided great insight and even included illustrations of the ruins as they appeared over time, showing what they actually looked like. We were only three people, so it was even more special and engaging. I booked two tours with Livtours during my 5 days in Rome, and I will book with them wherever they offer their Tour services in the future. I highly recommend!

Incredible Experience

We had an absolutely incredible tour with Dennis! To be able to not only walk through these ancient ruins but, also learn so much at the same time was something I will always remember. Thank you Dennis for sharing all your knowledge with us!

highly recommend

Federico was incredibly informative and took his time to explain the rich history all around us. His passion and knowledge made the experience truly memorable. We are so glad we decided to take the tour, there was so much to see and learn that we would have missed without his guidance. Highly recommend!

Excellent Tour of Roman Forum and Colosseum

The tour of the roman forum and colosseum with our guide Maria was fantastic. We met just outside of the rome subway/metro stop for the colosseum making it easy to travel too and get situated. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained interesting details as we moved through each location.

Fabrizio was amazing

Fabrizio our guide was amazing. His knowledge and insights made history come alive for us. We came away with an indelible impression of the greatness and beauty of the colosseum. Mille Grazie!

Amazing Experience!

This tour was life-changing! Seeing the Forum and the Colosseum and Palatine Hill was so moving. There were only two of us in our group so it was like a private tour with Annalisa. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the sites. I was never a huge fan of history growing up/in school, but now at age 57, Annalisa's passion about it and the way she introduced it to us, her expertise has turned me into someone who wants to study the history of Rome. She shared with us so many little details that I found fascinating. She is definitely in the right profession. (Also, she was very accommodating to my knee problems, without affecting the experience of my other tour group member.) 5 stars for the tour and 5 stars for Annalisa! (I'd give 10 stars if I could!)
