All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are capped at six guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining this uniquely tiny group size 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 to avoid separating 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.

  • Family Colosseum Tour

    We booked this tour for our family of 6 including kids ages 12-20 for June 2026. It was amazing! Francesca P. was our guide and did such a great job guiding us seamlessly through the crowds and heat. She kept the kids so interested and engaged, and was a great story teller. We saw the ancient city first and then the Colosseum, and we loved the order! We don’t feel like we missed anything by not having arena access or underground. You can see it all so well from above. Highly recommend this tour!

  • Wonderful day with Marta

    We had the pleasure of being guided by Marta for a half day at the Colosseum and Forum. What a treat. She's knowledgable, patient, enthusiastic, friendly - everything that helped to make it a memorable day. Hope you have the good luck to have her as your guide.

  • Fantastic tour

    Our tour was with Paulo. It was a very interesting tour with lots of facts you probably wouldn’t get if you booked normal tickets. The 3 hours went really fast . I really enjoyed a smaller group tour as it meant you didn’t have to wear headphones. It is worth booking this tour to skip the long lines too.
