Great family tour
Emilia was a fantastic tour guide. She knows the city and its art very well.
Awesome!
Barbi was amazing and so knowledgeable. She knew the city so well and always kept us in the shade!
Nicely done food and wine walking tour.
Nicely done tour. Knowledgeable and friendly guide (Aldi). Lots of information on vineyard and wine- making areas of Italy, some city history and Italian art history, recommendations about the city, etc. Appreciated slowing things down for grandmother traveling with us. Very accommodating and pleasant evening.
Liv Tours saved the day!
Iurica took us on an amazing walking tour of Florence and guided us to the beautiful David. We booked a private tour with Liv Tours after another tour operator cancelled on us very last minute. Liv Tours was able to quickly arrange a wonderful day for us to visit Pisa and Florence with pick up in Rome. Our driver came to get us at our door, provided a very comfortable ride with water provided and easy communication for pick up and drop offs at various locations. We met Iurica in Florence and she walked us through some of the big sites, sharing with us history and folklore that made our trip really special. She acted quickly so that we could skip the line and get into the gallery to see David with time left over to see other exhibits too. She then made sure that we met back up with our driver to take us back to Rome. Would highly suggest this tour provider.
Wonderful private tour
Our guide, Brenda, was extremely knowledgeable and we enjoyed every part of the tour. We learned a lot and had a great time! Thank you Brenda!
