Rome Tour(s) - LivTours played a significant role in our recent trip to Rome, as we had three tours with them (Colosseum/Forum/Palatine Hill, Early Entry Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica, and the bullet train day trip to Napoli/Pompeii). All of the tours were seamless (minimal waits for anything), and we would highly recommend them! The tour guides shared a wealth of information, and they interacted beautifully with our 12 and 14-year old boys. Our driver in Napoli (we were informed that Naples is in Florida, and Napoli is in Italy!) was also lovely and showed us several lovely areas of Naples itself. LivTours definitely shaped our experience in Rome in a positive way!

Book it- worth every penny - Laura Sensi was a fantastic guide. Warm, knowledgeable and friendly! She knew the best spots for photos and got us into the arena area first before it became flooded with others.

An Amazing Tour Experience with Vasco - We were lucky enough to have Vasco guide us through the colosseum on Wednesday. Vasco was amazing! So very knowledgeable without being intimidating. We were provided with excellent information through out the tour with enthusiasm and wit that did not wane. Vasco was very friendly and gracious and we felt at ease immediately. We felt that this tour with Vasco exceed our expectations and would thoroughly recommend it.

Donata Rossi is AWESOME! - We traveled as a group to Rome and took the LivTours guided tour of the Colosseum and other nearby ancient sites. Donata showed us around, sharing fascinating insights about the area and, as a bonus, offering plenty insights about the Italian culture. She was always quick to crack a joke, making the tour truly memorable! Highly recommended!

Great experience - Our tour guide serephina was absolutely wonderful. She was so knowledgeable and went out of Norway to make this a memorable experience for us. Having this as a small group was a big difference maker.

Gorgeous… ALL OF IT!! Our guide was AMAZING! - Our guide, Francesca (Frenchy) was INCREDIBLE! She brought extra photos so she could show us things up close, or explain what we were going to see. It added SO MUCH to our tour! We found out we were going on a LivTour the next day, and asked if she could be our guide!! So much to learn, her knowledge was amazing, we both agreed that she enhanced our tour TREMENDOUSLY!! I would give her 11 stars out of 10!!

Unforgettable experience - Paolo was such an amazing tour guide. I learned so much more history than just walking around by myself and he was interactive and fun. The experience was unforgettable.
