Colosseum & Forum Private Tour - We booked the First entry Private Colosseum and Roman Forum tour with special arena access. We were so happy we booked the first entry as we were able to avoid giant crowds which made the arena floor access feel even more special. Our guide was Dennis. Dennis was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned more than ever expected. He pointed out interesting points throughout the tour-showing us sites and facts that we would have not known what they were ourselves. He was definitely a history buff which suited our family well. All the little details he provided were excellent. Without this tour, our trip to the Colosseum/Forum would not have been the same. Thank you to Dennis for making this tour memorable and for answering all our questions. It was more than we could have imaged it would be! Also, Liv tours was great with keeping in contact with any questions we had prior to booking. I would highly recommend booking with them!

Walking Through the Heart of Ancient Rome with Pamela - Pamela was an exceptional guide for the Colosseum and Roman Forum tour. Her storytelling was vivid and deeply informed, bringing centuries of Roman life into focus with every stop. Instead of simply pointing out ruins, she connected the architecture, politics, and daily life in a way that made the entire site feel alive.
The pacing was ideal and never overwhelming, and she was always happy to answer questions or dive deeper into details when asked. This tour felt thoughtful, immersive, and genuinely educational. Thanks to Pamela, the Colosseum and Forum were not just monuments, but a real journey through history. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rome.

Amazing Tour! Patricia was phenomenal! - We had an early morning access semi private tour of the colloseum and Roman Forum. Patricia was our guide and she was amazing! She was so incredibly lovely and knowledgeable. She said she provides other tours from LivTours so we would request her if we book again. Part of our tour included special access to rooms that are not included in a regular tour. So worth it. Booking through LivTours was awesome.

An insightful and engaging Colosseum tour, GIL made history come alive. - Our Colosseum tour was outstanding. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Gil was our tour guide and he took us through the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill which took approximately 4 hrs. Gulliem (GIL) was knowledgeable, passionate about history and answered all our questions with great detail and patience. It felt like we were transported back in time while we were there. It was well organised and with Gil’s insights, it seemed as if history was brought to life. Thank you Gulleim for being a wonderful tour guide.. you truly added meaning to our Rome tour and made it a trip to remember. If you are travelling to Europe, I would recommend LIV TOURS for an unforgettable experience.
PS - I recommend doing the early morning tour to avoid crowds and heat.
