Dario was amazing. LivTours was great. - This was a great tour. Dario was incredible and made this tour very interesting and enjoyable. My wife and I were tired after an early start to see the Vatican so we had considered skipping this tour. At the end of the tour with Dario were glad we went.

Excellent Tour company and guide! - We enjoyed this fantastic tour with Alessandro with LivTours over a very busy Easter weekend. From the initial booking, LivTours had excellent customer service and helped me select the best tour for my family. Again, leading up to the tour they were in contact letting me know exactly where my guide would meet us and what he was wearing so we could easily spot him in the crowd. Alessandro welcomed us with a big smile and navigated his way through the many people and check points with ease. The tour itself was excellent. We were all so impressed with his breadth and depth of knowledge. He had no problem answering our many questions and kept the tour so interesting. He also was very happy to pause for pictures any time. It was definitely a highlight of our time in Rome. We would absolutely recommend LivTours and Alessandro and look forward to enjoying a tour with them again.

Our favorite tour while in Rome - Barbara was an excellent guide. She had a formal background in archaeology which provided fun details that I’m not sure we would have heard with someone less knowledgeable. We went on 3 different tours in Rome with 3 different companies. This was our favorite out of them!

Well Worth It!! - So glad we booked a small group tour! Dario was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and a little theatrical so his delivery was capturing. He answered any questions we had and offered to take pictures when we wished. What a great experience! Lastly…I felt like a celebrity getting to skip the line that wrapped around the outside of the colosseum. That alone was worth the price.

Phenomenal experience! - I highly recommend this tour and our guide. Not only were the coliseum and ruins jaw dropping, but our guide, Dennis, was phenomenal. He was highly educated in Roman history and architecture. Also, he had the group participate in the discussions by asking questions and asked us what questions we had. He gave us plenty of time to take pictures and to stop at areas to marvel at what we were seeing as he explained it. This tour is not one of your average tourist tours but rather a true history lesson given by a knowledgeable guide that can transport you back in time to the Roman Era with gladiators.

Small group Tour Wins! - Recently took the Colosseum Tour, complete with Underground and Roman Forum in English. AryAry was our outstanding guide, who educated, entertained and thoroughly made the tour a tremendous experience. Great story telling and a tremendous guide helped to bring the ancient Roman world to life. The small group + front of line privileges were definitely the way to go. AryAry rocked it!
