Traveler reviews
Great experience! Quick and informative! Great photo ops
Very nice private tour that prioritized the things you’re interested in — 1 hour was enough for us to learn the big things. Very knowledgeable on the history of the colosseum and the history of Rome!
Best tour in a time crunch!
I spent just 18 hours in Rome. My tour with Alexandra ended up being a one-on-one tour and it was seriously the best ever. It was an express one hour tour, which was perfect because I had to catch a train. I learned so much and absolutely adored Alexandra. I would recommend her to everyone. Super grateful for my experience.
Colosseum Tour with Leonardo
Leonardo did an excellent job guiding us through the Colosseum! He was incredibly knowledgeable and we appreciated his enthusiasm around sharing the rich history of the Colosseum and Rome in general. Would highly recommend using Liv Tours (specifically Leonardo) and will be using them again for future trips!
Great, must-see option!
The express tour was perfect for a very hot August day! Our tour guide Andy (Andrew) was a wonderful well of knowledge about the history of the site! He was able to answer questions from both adults and kids (!) with insight and humor. Truly a great tour and didn’t feel like anything was missed!
A total must-do in Rome! Incredible history, views, and guide
This was an absolutely incredible experience! I honestly can't recommend it enough! A quick heads-up: the meeting point was a little tricky to figure out at first if you're not familiar with navigating Rome, but once you arrive, it all makes complete sense. Just make sure to give yourself plenty of time and look for the giant Subway Line B signs where the subway actually. And make sure to go up the escalator inside the subway station. But from there, everything was absolute perfection! Our guide Chiara (aka Whisky) was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable, patient, and clearly an expert on all things Roman history. Walking along real ancient Roman roads, exploring historic houses, and soaking in all that history was such a treat, plus there were endless gorgeous photo ops. When we got to the Colosseum, our guide made the whole process effortless. Despite the big crowds, she seamlessly navigated us through and made sure to keep us in the shade whenever possible. We learned so much about the history, evolution, and usage of the Colosseum! The 3-hour length was the absolute sweet spot and it didn't feel too long or too short. Just make sure to wear great walking shoes, because you'll definitely be getting your steps in!
