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.

  • Incredible Forum + Colosseum Tour

    This tour delivers what it promises: a 3 hour tour of the whole Roman Forum and Colosseum. We had Stefania as our guide and she was superb. We were lucky enough to have this early morning slot all to ourselves (2 people), effectively a private tour. We began outside the Colosseum but walked towards the Forum, climbing up the hill for some amazing views (and photo opportunities), then winding down through the midst of the Forum and back towards the interior of the Colosseum. Stefania was such a kind and knowledgeable guide; she is a native Roman and told us stories about her childhood playing in the Colosseum. I expected the Colosseum to be the mainstay of the tour, but we found the Forum was even more interesting. Stefania explained the history of the particular buildings, all the periods involved - early Roman, medieval, baroque, modern, etc. - and was great at answering questions. She also came prepared with binders of maps, photos and illustrations, which were super helpful in visualizing what these buildings looked like in their heyday, as well as the combats you would have seen in the Colosseum. We ended the tour feeling suffused with knowledge about the history of Rome. If you're looking for a Colosseum/Forum tour, I highly recommend this one.

  • What an amazing tour.....and tour guide!

    We took this tour with Fabio and cannot recommend it more! Fabio was great and very personable and easy going. He had SO much interesting data to share and we all loved it! The history of the Colosseum is fascinating in and of itself but Fabio made it that much better. Thank you so much, Fabio......you truly made our day!

  • The Most Engaging Tour of the “ Amphitheatrum Flavium“ and Ancient Rome

    My husband and I had a truly wonderful experience touring the Colosseum and ancient Rome with Stefano! His genuine passion for history and the thoughtful, engaging way he explained each site made everything feel alive in a way we didn’t expect. He was warm, patient, funny and incredibly attentive, tailoring the tour to our interests and making sure we never felt rushed at any stop. His stories and anecdotes of Ancient times to the present added real depth and meaning to what we were seeing, turning the day into something truly special. We honestly couldn’t recommend Stefano more—he made our visit to Rome unforgettable!

  • Coliseum at it's finest

    This tour was amazing! My favorite in all of Italy. Dennis was professional, knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Roman history with us. We asked him questions about architecture and art, all he expertly answered without pause. Thank you Dennis for providing us with an enlightened afternoon exploring ancient Rome and the Coliseum.

  • We loved Dennis

    we had a semi private tour with Dennis. He was very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and intentional. We asked lots of questions and he was able to answer them all! Highly recommend a tour with him. Wish we had more time in Rome for a tour of something else with him.
