Trastevere and the Ghetto—another great experience with LivTours - My tour of Trastevere and the Jewish Ghetto with Francesca was excellent. She was well-informed, friendly, and quickly tailored the tour to my interests. This is such an interesting area of Rome, a bit removed from the usual tourist hordes. I have taken several tours now with LivTours and highly recommend them. They’re especially good about responding quickly to any questions or sending any necessary communications.

I would definitely go on another tour with him!

Book with Spin! A must!! - Simone (Spin) was an amazing guide! We had the absolute best time with him. We learned so much about the city and the food that comes along with it. You would be missing out if you did not book with Spin! Great food, great sights, and even better company!
