Amazing Experience!!

My wife, daughter and I just finished the First Entry Private Colosseum & Roman Forum Tour with Special Arena Access with Selenia. First, it was, indeed, a private tour. Sometimes companies call a tour “private” but you end up in a small group. Not with LivTours! It was just the 3 of us guided by Selenia! She was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! She clearly was passionate about Roman history and that fueled her enthusiasm as she told us much! Thank you!
