Knowledgeable, Adaptable, Fun

We had a complicated situation - 3 kid with wide span of ages, mom in a wheelchair, sweltering heatwave. Marta did a terrific job managing and adapting the tour so it was interesting and comfortable for everyone - her deep knowledge of both the Colosseum and surrounding history made it look easy (and it wasn't!!!)

Very enjoyable tour

Ribal was an amazing guide for our afternoon at the colosseum and the forum. I thought he did a great job of keeping our kids engaged and providing more detailed information for the adults. He also was very conscious of the pacing and the heat and sun. He knew all the shady spots to stop and talk over the history of this amazing place.

This Tour Saved My Visit in Rome

This tour saved us! I previously booked a Colosseum tour months ago from another operator, to be cancelled on one month before my trip. I quickly learned to only book Colosseum tours through officially licensed tour companies or the Colosseum itself. I was unable to book through the Colosseum, so LivTours was a lifesaver. I only wish I could have booked the underground portion too. Francesca was a kind, engaging and very knowledgeable tour guide. I highly recommend going through LivTours for Colosseum tours.

Great experience and Barbara was fantastic!

Incredible experience. Barbara, our tour guide, was great. She kept us on schedule without feeling rushed given you could easily been there twice as long. Barbara was great with our 18 year old daughter and I couldn't recommend her any more highly. She always made sure we were comfortable given it was a little hot. Definitely ask for Barbara if possible. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
