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!

Excellent tour of the Colesseum! - Dennis made navigating the Colesseum a breeze despite the large crowds. His knowledge was extensive and he spoke in such a way our children aged between 13 and 23 were all engaged for the full tour. Small group tour is definately the way to go in Rome and Liv Tour guides have all been exceptional.

Amazing tour! Really knowledgeable guide! - We had a great tour with Louisa Marie! We just got off the plane and hit the ground running. We met up with Louisa Marie and she wasted no time sharing her knowledge as we approached the Coliseum. She then walked us right in, spending absolutely no time waiting. She took us through the key areas sharing so much knowledge throughout our tour, we’re still talking about it days later! I highly recommend this tour and our amazing guide!
