Perfect introduction to Rome - We took a tour with Massimo the day that we arrived! We though the tour would be a perfect quick introduction to Rome while maximing the “wasted” travel day! It was perfect and Massimo was a perfect blend of funny, energetic, and full of knowledge about this beautiful city! We had a fantastic tour and would highly recommend Massimo and would do another tour at the drop of a hat!!

Great day in “ancient” Rome - Our guide Sara was terrific. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. She described not only what we were looking at, but she was able to set the scene so we could imagine how the Romans lived at that time. Without this tour we would not have learned as much about this amazing place. We highly recommend Liv Tours.
