All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are limited to 6 guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining our uniquely tiny group sizes can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests in order to not split groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

  • Superb!

    We had originally booked to see the Vatican (we had only a short time in Rome) but we had to cancel due to the Conclave. LivTours was very helpful with the process and suggested this tour as an alternative. We are so glad we did! Alessandro was an excellent tour guide and a great storyteller. We will be back to visit the Vatican with LivTours next time for sure!

  • Definitely worth it!

    We were debating on touring ourselves or doing a group tour, and we are so glad we chose the group tour. We learned far more about Ancient Rome than we ever would have on our own. Both tours we did with Liv (Vatican as well) were excellent. We definitely will be sharing our experience with our friends!

  • 5 star tour!

    This was our second time touring the Colosseum, but we wanted to treat our mother-in-law as it was her first time in Rome. I have to say we enjoyed this tour so much more! We learned so much more than we did on our previous trip (with another company) and we are so grateful to our guide Laura, she really made the difference. We will be back for more LivTours!

  • Captivating history

    As someone who usually gets bored on historical tours, I was shocked at how captivated I was for the full three hours. Elena was one of the best guides I’ve ever had — she had a deep academic knowledge of Roman history but explained everything in a way that was vivid and approachable. I especially loved how she connected each stop to modern-day Rome and gave us little insights into how remnants of ancient culture still shape the city today. Grazie mille!

  • Loved this tour!

    Our guide was so much fun! He really made all the difference. The tour was a bit pricier than others, but when we saw the other tour groups of 20 or more people following a flag, we were glad it wasn't us! LivTours is the way to go!
