Small Groups are worth paying for. - Highly recommend using LIV Tours - our guide was absolutely fantastic and made visiting the Colosseum worth it. Totally loved the experience and highly recommend signing up for this. The small group is key - you can ask all the questions, you get to really know and feel what it was like in this massive building over the last 2,000 years!

Definitely recommend this tour. - The Colloseum was the best tour we had. We had the best guide, Marco, who took his time sharing his knowledge with us, even though our bus got stuck in traffic and we arrived late. We never waited in line and got lots of great pictures that our grandson requested. Would very highly recommend this tour and this guide.

9 y.o boy enjoyed Colosseum latrine - Lucy was very patient and informative. Patient because our kids are 7 and 9. Informative because Rome wasn’t built in a day. Ha!

Excellent tour and guide, would highly recommend! - We had a wonderful tour of the Colosseum with Alessandro! He was friendly and clearly passionate about his beautiful city of Rome. The information he provided during the tour was very interesting and fun and the use of his iPad with pictures of what the Colosseum would have looked like in the past were really helpful to imagine what this great structure once was. Would highly recommend one of Alessandro’s tours!
