Feel like a local as you drive past the Colosseum, a route and ride you are sure to remember.

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.

  • Super fun time seeing the city

    This was the greatest way to see the highlights of Rome! It's exciting to maneuver the streets and alleyways. We went fairly early in the morning on a Saturday so traffic wasn't an issue. Our guide Thomas was a kick and showed us not just the major points of interest but also some places not in the regular tour books. If you like scooters or motorbikes, this is the tour for you!!!

  • Just LOVED this experience!

    This was the most fun tour!! We absolutely LOVED seeing Rome on a scooter -- no less, the famous Vespa! Such an icon of Italy!! We went on a Saturday norming so there wasn't quite the madhouse traffic that there is on weekdays. Our guide was very attentive of us and made sure we understood the possible pitfalls (gotta be careful on those cobblestones!) so it was enjoyable and fun! We saw all of the main sites and our guide even gave us hints on other places to check out and good restaurants too. We were so happy that we booked this tour and highly recommend it to everyone!
