A perfect way to experience the Colosseum! - Valentina was amazing! This was such a wonderful way to see the Colosseum and the Roman forum. We were blown away by her knowledge and her enthusiasm for Rome. Highly recommend. The best part was walking past everyone else who was in line in 90° weather. Worth every penny!

Colosseum Floor and Ancient Rome Tour - We had such a great time touring the Colosseum and Ancient Rome with our guide Caterina. It was a hot day and she took great care to find us shade to speak to us about the areas we toured. It was our second tour of the Colosseum but we learned so much from her! Would definitely recommend this tour!!

Excellent tour, even better guide! - We do lots of tours and our guide Gabriella was one of the best!!! She is a qualified archeologist who was very knowledgeable. Her English was excellent so she was able to share her knowledge well. Her passion and enthusiasm made the details even more interesting and exciting. We learnt so much and loved our time with Gabriella. We can’t highly recommend Gabriella enough. Our tour started early in the morning before it got too hot which was perfect.

LivTours provided outstanding experience to visit the Colosseum Arena and Roman Forum. It was the highlight of our trip - Cristina, our LivTour Guide, was outstanding in her knowledge and communication thru out our tour. She got us in early and moved us along at our pace. We are a group that has researched Roman history for over 40+ years, and she was able to confirm lots of details and gave us much more. Very personable and outgoing. This was the highlight of our Rome tour by far, and I've waited 50 years to see the Colosseum. We could not be happier with LivTours - especially Cristina.

Fun way to bring the Colosseum and Roman Forum to life - The tour with Marco was amazing!!! He is passionate and presents his knowledge in a fashion that is both engaging and easy to understand. Marco shared stories that brought to life the incredible sights we were viewing. With his experience and access we wasted NO time in lines and truly maximized our time. Would highly rate both Liv and Marcus in particular. Marco….. thank you for a great morning!
