Fantastic tour for families with children! - We had an absolutely wonderful time with Rebecca on this tour! She was very engaging and knowledgeable, and her descriptions and activities really held our kids' attention. We have been on many tours over the years, and this was by far one of the best-tailored tours for children (and adults!) we have been on. It was just the right balance of factual information, vivid descriptions that really helped us imagine what it was like, and well-placed breaks to rest and for the kids to do some activities. My two kids (10 and 12) loved the workbooks and the way Rebecca integrated them into the tour.

Fab tour - Our tour of the Colosseum with Julia was an incredible experience. Julia was extremely knowledgeable, bringing the ancient history of this magnificent structure to life with fascinating stories and insights. Her tour was well-organized, allowing us to skip the long lines and spend ample time exploring both the main areas and some exclusive sections not accessible to the general public. The Colosseum itself is breathtaking, and Julia’s explanations made us appreciate its historical significance even more.

Alessia was great with our kids! - Alessia was amazing with our family. Our boys are 8 and 10, and they were engaged the entire time, raising their hands to ask questions and talking to them on their levels we covered so much history. Skipped all the lines too. We did a 1:30 tour, highly recommended to skip all the morning crowds. Best tour of our 2 week trip to Mediterranean! We will use Liv Tours again.

Absolutely superb. - We had a private tour with Dario and it was superb! Dario was so knowledgable and made it interesting but also fun and accessible for the kids (12 &15). Both my children love Roman history especially gladiators so they found the tour so exciting to bring everything to life. It was the highlight of our trip to Rome. Livtours are also the best tour company we used during our stay and we would definitely book directly through them again. It’s a family business and I think this shows in their care and attention in their customer service. It’s a minefield trying to sort tours out so my advice would be to go straight to these guys to guarantee a super experience.

Best Decision We Made in Rome - This was absolutely our favorite part of our entire Rome visit. Getting a kid-focused guide made the entire experience so much more fun for our 8 and 10 year old (and made it a lot less stressful for us as parents). Paolo was THE BEST and my kids LOVED him!! We've had great experiences with all the LivTour Kids Tours.

Perfect Tour Guide Luciana - We booked a private tour and Luciana exceeded expectations. She is an outstanding tour guide with mother-like instincts to care for her group. Great and easy to talk to as well as professionally educated on the sites she guides.
