Donata was awesome!! Definitely recommend the 1.5 hour tour, anything longer would have been too much. Recommend to anyone!

We had a private tour with Chiara. We loved the visuals and context she provided throughout our tour, and she was fantastic with our kids. Chiara navigated us with interesting information and took us through the less crowded routes. She is a fourth generation tour guide, and we were thrilled with our visit to the Colosseum and Forum.

Loved our tour! Would highly recommend. Very informative and very enjoyable. Thanks for a great experience. Had many good laughs and learned a lot along the way. Great pacing and really appreciated having only 6 people in the tour group.

We took the Colosseum and Ancient Rome tour with Patrizia L and she was absolutely phenomenal! Patrizia's knowledge and passion for Rome is unparalleled, she was an absolute joy to spend the day with! Patrizia even gave us a few restaurant recommendations! This was my 3rd time in Rome and my husband's 1st and both of us highly recommend this tour and if possible booking with Patrizia! Patrizia, if you happen to read this, we can't thank you enough & we will never forget all you shared with us! We hope to tour with YOU again!

ok, so third day in Rome for us - and we had a really busy prior day with a vatican tour, then walking around the old city and a birthday dinner.....figuring we didn't need a alarm since we had been getting up about 3am the prior days still on east coast US time....I woke up at 3am and then at 8:52am (the tour started at 9, be there 15 minutes early) WHOOPS! Fortunately Alessandro and Dennis from LIV Tours started calling us - we jumped in an Uber (taxi) and got into the colosseum (timed tickets) just in time! Unfortunately our tickets had to be downgraded because the city was soo busy with tourists and the allotment for the access we tried for wasn't available. Anyway - our guide and archeologist, Dennis, was great.....the weather wasn't perfect - with some drizzle - but we did the full tour and got some great perspective on all the Romans did. I am sure that if we had been on a group tour we never would have had the personal attention to save our tour....a big thank you to LIV!

Elisabetta gave us a wonderful tour, full of amazing facts and interesting stories. She is passionate and knows her subject matter! The information and time spent in the Colosseum was just right for our 12 year old.

Chiara was a fabulous guide. She was was able to quickly adapt to our needs with two small children. She met us outside the colosseum and helped us manage the lines, checkpoints and gave us elevator access. She was clear and concise with her descriptions of the site. She used great visuals. Near the end of our tour, she helped us navigate our tickets for the forum.

We did a private express tour of the Colosseum. It exceeded all of our expectations! We would highly recommend this tour and this company. We also booked the Vatican tour and were equally impressed. We used this company, Liv Tours, last November as well and have been happy with all of their guides.

We loved our Liv Tour of the Colosseum! Our guide was on time, super friendly and so knowledgable. The headsets were a great addition so we could all hear well, while still looking around and our entrance and tour access through the fast lanes went very smoothly. Great to skip the queues! The booking process and using the app was all very efficient too. So, all in all, a great experience. Well done to Liv Tours and the team.
