Fabulous day in Rome

Fabio was an amazing tour guide for LivTours. He was very knowledgeable. It was an extremely hot day, yet he found all the shaded spots for us. It was a fantastic experience - highly recommend.

Dennis rocked our tour!

We loved our guide, Dennis. So much information and Roman History was provided during our tour. He is so passionate about archeology and we felt like we were in a class! Amazing tour. He led us through the crowds expertly while pointing out things he was talking about. I would take a tour with Dennis again any day! Grazie !!
