Ostia Antica with Xander - The ruins were amazing to visit and it was so helpful to have Xander to explain and answer questions. He was very knowledgeable, patient with our family and engaging with the kids. Great spot and far fewer tourists!

The perfect day in Ostia Antica with Michela - Michela’s knowledge of the ancient city is extensive and her passion for the history of the area was evident throughout the day. She took us thru areas we would not have found on our own. Her descriptions of the ruins and style of speaking when delivering information made us feel like we could see the city as it may have been when it was a bustling port city. Michaela’s outgoing and friendly personality made the day that much more special. I would highly recommend this tour with Liv tours and specifically Michela!!!💜

Day trip away from Rome - Tivoli gardens and fountains & the tours of baths and villas outside Rome were the perfect escape from the crowds. Xander had great artist renderings to help visualize former glory of the impressive places we toured. Easy to talk with. Our driver was also excellent. Teens and adults enjoyed.

Relaxing and private tour with knowledgeable guide - We have been to Rome many times but have never been to Ostia Antica despite driving by it several times. This trip we made sure we went. Massimo was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about Ostia Antica and also about Ancient Rome as a whole - he was very kind to answer all of our questions! We had a baby with us and brought our stroller which we knew would be a pain but he helped us the whole way which was unnecessary and very nice! Definitely worth it. Will likely book another tour when we are in Naples.
