Colosseum, Arena access, Gladiators gate & Ancient City tour - Dennis took us on a 3 hour tour of the Colosseum and Forum and was the most amazing guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had facts and information not only about the sites we were seeing but also the culture. He was so enthusiastic and we could really feel the the importance of the information he was trying to give us. I highly recommend Dennis!

Rated 10 out of 5 stars! - We spent 3 days in Rome. Day #2 was our coliseum tour with LivTours. We paid $219 each for an absolutely excellent 3 hour tour with Dennis! His passion and knowledge was amazing! He made the experience “come to life” and he answered every question with patience and accuracy. I wish we could’ve taken him with us to Florence and Venice! Out of 5 stars Dennis was a 10!

Archeologist Perspective - Fabrizio was an excellent guide, it was fun to hear his archeologist perspective on the ruins and the history. Also loved that he kept us in the shade whenever possible on this hot September day. Would use Liv Tours in the future.

Wonderful. I learned so much today. The ruins were amazing and the guid was great at stopping to take pictures of us at. - A lot of walking and stairs. But the guide was so informative and told everything almost like a story. It was nice to be in a smaller group so we could ask questions.
