A wonderful experience! - We took this tour on our honeymoon during our stop in Rome! Our tour guide, Fabrizio was wonderful, so informative and personable. He truly made the history of the place feel vivid and exciting and answered any question we had! Getting to digest all the information afterward, over a drink on the roof top bar was the perfect end to the tour. We would definitely recommend, certainly a must-do if you want to visit the Colosseum!

The Colosseum, Forum and Palatine sweet afternoon/eve adventure! - Late afternoon light surrounds you with a fast paced walking (challenging- not for the faint of heart) through Palatine Hill (the views are spectacular!). The Forum, and finally inside the Colosseum. Excellent history and knowledge from our guide Analisa with humor and engagement for all! Top it off with a visit to a rooftop terrace bar for apperitivo and conversation. An excellent choice!

Beautiful place, excellent experience - This is tour is the best case scenario. A breathtakingly unique location, a passionate and knowledgeable guide, and a picturesque end to the evening on a secluded and quiet rooftop. Our guide Fabio was truly excellent, as we walked he peppered in the perfect amount of contextual tidbits to make the place come alive. We got lucky and only had a group of 3, so we could ask as many questions as came to mind. Livtours seems like a high quality business and Fabio was exemplary of it!

Great tour - Our guide Laura did an amazing job leading us through the history of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. We were so happy to have her as a guide. She took lots of pictures of us which we really appreciated. She showed us pictures of the what the structures would have looked like and progress commentary to go with. The weather turned towards the end but she was happy to go on with the tour. We ended at a covered rooftop bar which gave us shelter from the storm and let us rest before returning g to our hotel. Would highly recommend this tour for visiting the ancient ruins of Rome.

Patrizia was amazing! - We had a fantastic private tour with Patrizia. She was a wonderful guide, was very knowledgeable, and she made sure we got pictures at all of the places we stopped along the way. She helped with our taxi and navigated all stops on the tour with perfection. Highly recommend!
