My tour of Trastevere and the Jewish Ghetto with Francesca was excellent. She was well-informed, friendly, and quickly tailored the tour to my interests. This is such an interesting area of Rome, a bit removed from the usual tourist hordes. I have taken several tours now with LivTours and highly recommend them. They’re especially good about responding quickly to any questions or sending any necessary communications.

Rish was an amazing guide! Me and my family of five, which included a 16, 13, and 9 year old, spent two hours with him and loved it all. He was very knowledgeable about Rome and clearly interested in what he was teaching us. And he took us to a delicious he later is to keep the kids going. I would definitely go on another tour with him!

We had a wonderful time exploring Travestere and the Jewish Ghetto, including stops inside or around a few beautiful churches and fountains. Our guide - Rish - provided lively commentary throughout and even bought us gelato! And was very patient with our toddler as well.

Simone (Spin) was an amazing guide! We had the absolute best time with him. We learned so much about the city and the food that comes along with it. You would be missing out if you did not book with Spin! Great food, great sights, and even better company!
