Wonderful! Great experience.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that you had a great experience exploring Venice with us. It’s always a pleasure to know that our tour helped make your time in the city enjoyable and memorable. We truly appreciate you choosing LivTours and taking the time to share your experience!
We had an amazing evening tour of St. Mark's and the Doge's Palace with Sabrina. She was fun and knowledgeable, and she accommodated our group, which ranged in age from 17 to 97. She went above and beyond. Her enthusiasm for the art and history of St. Mark's, especially as they turned on the lights, was contagious. I would highly recommend asking for Sabrina for your tour.
Beautiful visit with Lorenzo from the Livtours agency.
I’ve been on three tours of the Vatican, and this is the first one I truly enjoyed. Eva was a fantastic tour guide of our small group of 6. She was so knowledgeable and so interesting in the way she imparted information, that you couldn’t help but be mesmerized. She took time to go over the Sistine Chapel before we went in, because you can’t guide while in there. She seemed to choose the most interesting pieces to talk about wherever we were. It was a truly wonderful experience.
Elisa did a wonderful job touring us and explaining what we were seeing and the history behind it. Fantastic job!
We loved our Venice in a Day private tour with Marie-Therese. She was so fun and engaging and our whole familly was raving both about the beautiful and interesting things we saw and our wonderful guide. She combined interesting history with good humor and kept a perfect pace. It was the best way to start our trip! We felt like we really understood what it meant to be Venetian. Thank you!
Great tour with Claudia (aka Clachan)! Very detailed throughout the morning. Lots of enthusiasm and knowledge of papal history.
Monica was a fantastic guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. Made for a great experience and a great start for our family vacation.
Carlotta was a wonderful tour guide. Delightful and full of helpful information all throughout the tour. We would highly recommend her.
Laura was amazing and knowledgeable, incredibly friendly and engaging, the Vatican was beautiful, 10/10 would go again, difficult to squeeze into 3 hours
