Best Colosseum tour

If you want to tour the Colosseum it must be with Alexandra. She elevated the whole experience with her vivid stories that brought ancient Rome to life. Thank you Alexandra.

Great tour!

We had a great time on this tour! Our guide was Patrizia and she was amazing. Super knowledgeable and able to navigate the crowds well. I felt satisfied with our time at the Colosseum but for me the show stopper was the Forum as I had no idea so much history was there. Our last stop for aperitifs at a nearby rooftop bar was the cherry on top. We had amazing views of the Forum below. Highly recommend!

Excellent Tour Guide

Our LivTour was phenomenal. Fabio was very informative and encouraging of questions, which made the experience very interactive. It was clear he was knowledgeable. We immediately felt in good hands. Our only feedback for future tours is selecting a less touristy bar for the aperitif at the end. Although the option to end the tour that way was greatly appreciated we would have loved it even more to end at a bar that was more local.

Extremely Knowledgeable Guide in an Awe Inspiring Location

We had a wonderful tour with Francesca. She was a wealth of knowledge and took us off the “beaten path” at times. We appreciated her photography skills as well.

Fabulous tour!

Amazing experience with Dennis. Super knowledgeable and engaging. A wealth of information! Logistics were simple- easy to find the meeting spot and enter the Colosseum. Ended the evening with a Spritz overlooking the Roman Forum. Stellar from start to finish.
