Thomas was a fantastic guide and we all had a wonderful experience. The colosseum was amazing, of course, but it was all the “other” sites that Thomas took us to that really wowed us. We would have had zero idea these places and artifacts existed if he hadn’t shown us. We came in the heat of August and really glad to have started the day early as that sun was hot and intense. Thomas made sure there were water beaks and that we had the opportunity to be in as much shade as possible, which we were thankful for. Being in a smaller group (ours had 5 people total) was a perfect way to personalize the experience and ask all the questions we had. Very happy we booked this tour! Thank you Thomas!
Alexandria was very knowledgeable and personable. She was happy To answer any questions. A beautiful and awe Inspiring experience
Dario made sure that myself and the other couple on this tour were completely taken care of. We were able to get right into the colosseum and avoided the crowds. Dario had a deep knowledge for everything involving the colosseum and the Roman forum, every question we may have had were answered in detail. The experience itself was incredible and highly recommended for both solo travelers and groups. The admission fee was included in the price of the tour, which lasted for 3 hours which seemed to just fly by. 10/10, highly recommend.
We toured the Colosseum and Arena floor with LivTours. Dario was our guide and he was excellent. Funny, informative and engaging. Would definitely recommend this!
The tour was an excellent way to explore the ancient sites of Rome and the Colosseum, or Flavian Amphitheatre as our guide Paola taught us. Paola was very knowledgable, friendly, and loved to talk about everything Roman. The tour got ahead of the worst of the crowds and was just the right length, and ended in the Roman Forum which gave us time to walk through the park more.
Marcia was very knowledgeable and engaging. We had a wonderful time and learned so much about Ancient Rome.
Stefania was an excellent tour guide. Not a single moment was wasted and no part of it was boring. I wish we could have her as our tour guide at all of the monuments we have seen. It was also great having such a small group.
First Entry Semi-Private Colosseum & Roman Forum with Special Arena Access. Frederica is an excellent tour guide who is a great historic story teller. She made the tour so interesting and helped us imagine what the colosseum was like in the past. She answered questions knowledgeably. But most importantly, she cared about us. She made sure we had a spot in the shade when she had a longer explanation of what we were seeing. She took great pictures of us at ideal spots. When some of us had mobility issues she guided us to the elevator. And she stopped for bathroom and rehydration breaks. She’s a real gem and Liv Tours is lucky to have her.
Amazing tour, we learnt a lot. We loved Federica she was very knowledgeable and thoughtful (constantly finding us shade to escape the heat). Highly recommend this tour.
Dennis was very knowledgeable and we learned a ton about Roman history! Would definitely recommend!
