An Unforgettable Experience - We feel very fortunate to have had Francesca as our guide on this walking tour through Rome. She is articulate, knowledgeable and very personable. Her obvious love for Rome, her birthplace, matches the breadth of information she shared about its colorful history. Moreover, since we were the only clients on the tour, she masterfully tailored her presentation to suit our particular interests.
Our time with Francesca was not only informative, it was delightful. We left her feeling like we’d just spent time with a friend.

City tour that includes inside the Pantheon - Wonderful tour and tour guide Francesca P. was so knowledgeable and informative. I chose Liv Tours for the city walking tour because they were the only company that I saw that included tickets to go inside the Pantheon as part of their walking tour (other companies just stopped by the outside - you must go inside, it is not to be missed!). Totally pleased with this tour.

Most Memorable Tour of Rome - This tour was one of the most immersive and enjoyable experiences we have had in Rome. Our tour guide gave us in-depth explanations behind numerous fountains, statues, buildings etc. and allowed us to understand the history of the heart of Rome. Francesca's energy never faltered and despite having walked all day prior, we barely noticed our aching feet. She was consistently engaged with us, which made our tour feel that much more personalized. The pit-stop for gelato was a refreshing surprise, along with the captivating explanations behind the Pantheon, Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Piazza de Spagna and many more. This is definitely one of, if not the most, memorable experiences in Rome for us.

A great base tour to help you get the most out of city break - Alexandra took us on a walking tour in Rome. Our first time here and we were just delighted by her knowledge and care in the sights shown, deep understanding of the city history and culture. Alexandra knows where all the good spots are, and adapts to make sure you really get the most out of it. A real and a great base start for us getting to know the city of Rome as complete newbies. The gelato was “outstanding” critiqued by our daughter (12). Thank you so much. Grazie.

Intimate and customized! - Talk about intimate and customized! Our walking tour with Rishad was all we could have hoped for. We were lucky enough to be the only two in the group and Rishad tailored the tour to our interests! His love for the city was so charming and made it even more magical. He gave us all the tips for the most helpful ways to take in the historical landmarks. He was even so kind to take our photo several times.

Definitely Worthwhile - Really enjoyable tour of the heart of Rome with our tour guide Carlotta. Gave us a great overview of the sights we were seeing and was very friendly and fun to talk to. She was willing to alter the standard tour since we had already seen the Parthenon so it felt like a really personalized tour. Definitely worthwhile.
