Debra was a very knowledgeable and captivating tour guide! We enjoyed our private tour and quick access into the Colosseum. I would definitely recommend to others!
Perfect option for those who don’t have a ton of time, but still want a personalized experience with a very knowledgeable guide who provides lots of detail.
So awesome. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and seeing the site in person was amazing. She took extra care to talk to us in the shade bc it was so hot when we went.
During our trip to Rome we took a tour with LivTours. Julia was our tour guide and she was wonderful. She communicated very well and was engaging. Friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. She made sure we were comfortable at all times and paced the tour where we were not rushed. I have young adult/teenaged boys and they were all very happy. We really enjoyed our tour with her.
What a great tour in a short amount of time. Marisa was awesome! The kids and adults absolutely loved it.
Fabrizio was amazing and very knowledgeable. He guided us through the colosseum and gave us insights to how it was for the Roman citizens attending
Emmanuel was an outstanding guide. Our family of four took the semi private Colosseum tour. Emmanuel was so knowledgeable and engaging. We really learned a lot in the short hour that we were with him. He was so attentive to our elderly family member and made sure that we took advantage of all of shady alcoves and overlooks on a hot summer day.
Barbara, our guide, was very knowledgeable about Roman history which made the tour worth the price. She was excellent. The pick up with a bit disorderly, maybe a better system could be implemented when matching guides with guests at the pick up location. The tour itself and guide were great.
Claudia Justice was so kind. She was knowledgeable, and kept us engaged the whole tour! She gave us wonderful information that we did not hear other tour guides giving. She was patient with our questions, and let us take our time where we wanted to look. I would DEFINITELY book with her again!
It was definitely express , tour only lasted 1 hour . I went on an 8 hour tour covering 3 towns for same price in Florence.
