Our guide allowed the time we wanted at places and we never felt rushed. Our guide also selected great photo opportunities and took great pictures.

New insight and so informative - Alessandro was so knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. He is also an archaeologist and was involved with excavating the area we visited. Having this private tour gave us a whole new perspective on the going’s on in old Rome. Would highly recommend

High Energy, Expert Knowledge, and Pure Fun - We had the absolute pleasure of touring the Colosseum, including the arena floor, as well as the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with Alessia, and she was simply outstanding. From the moment we met her, her high energy and enthusiasm were contagious. She brought the history of these incredible landmarks to life with her deep knowledge, vivid storytelling, and fascinating details that we never would have known otherwise. Alessia has a remarkable way of blending historical facts with engaging anecdotes, making every stop feel like stepping back in time. She answered every question with ease and passion, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. Her excitement made the entire experience even more special and memorable for my wife and me. If you’re visiting Rome and want a tour that’s not just informative but also fun, captivating, and full of energy, Alessia is the guide you need. She turned a great day into an unforgettable one!

Amazing tour with Caterina and Liv Tours - We had an incredible experience with Caterina as our tour guide! Her knowledge of the Colosseum and Roman Forum was exceptional—she not only shared fascinating historical insights but also added engaging anecdotal details that brought the sites to life. Caterina was also amazing at navigating the crowds, ensuring we had the best views and could truly enjoy each moment without feeling rushed. My entire family thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and we would wholeheartedly recommend booking Caterina for any future tours. She is absolutely fantastic!

Amazing way to learn and see the colosseum with family - Our guide Gaia was great. She made the tour relevant and fun for our whole family. Our boys aged 10 and 12 learned a lot and didn’t even realize it was education and thought they were just having fun ;). Definitely recommend LiV tours!!

Guide was great. Tour content was very interesting (I mean, it's Rome). Facts and history very easily understand. - It's many steps so wear walking shoes. There's several fountains to fill water bottles while walking around the tour.
