Bucket List item fulfilled - We were debating whether or not to do a tour, and so glad we did!! Liv Tours was recommended on a podcast I listen to. My husband and I chose this tour because it was a max of six people. We didn’t want to be herded around in large group. Bruno was an excellent guide. Knowledgeable, friendly. Informative. Coliseum arena, roman Forum, Palatine Hill, topped off with a rooftop drink. It was one of the highlights of our visit!!

Dennis is the BOMB!!! - Dennis did a great job!!!! Learned so much information on our tour. I loved how he tied the historical significance of Emperor Titus, at the Titus Arch, that was also recorded in Mark 13:1-3. Amazing

Beautiful - Our tour with Laura and Liv Tours was amazing! She is extremely knowledgable and personable. She took us to all the best photo op spots and gave us time to take photos. The tour was 3 hours and did not feel rushed. There was so much information I felt like we could have gone for another 3 hours. We ended our tour at a rooftop bar and had an aperitif during sunset with a beautiful view. It was the perfect ending to our first day in Rome.

Colosseum with rooftop cocktail - Ribal, our tour guide was wonderful. Saw amazing sites accompanied by a great history lesson. The amount of time spent at each site was perfect and the final stop for a rooftop cocktail was a great way to end the night!
