During my visit to Florence and Rome, I booked several private experiences with LivTours, and what stood out most was the consistency and quality of the company as a whole. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized. Communication was clear and timely, logistics were seamless, and every detail was handled with professionalism and care. What truly sets LivTours apart is their commitment to delivering a personalized, high-quality experience. The private format allows for flexibility, meaningful interaction, and a pace that suits you--something that makes a significant difference compared to larger group tours. It feels less like a structured tour and more like a thoughtfully curated experience designed around the traveler. Across the board, the guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing Italy's history, art, architecture, and culture. There is a clear standard of excellence that LivTours maintains, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. I also appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the smooth coordination of meeting points and the small gestures that made the experience feel special and memorable. It's evident that LivTours prioritizes both quality and customer satisfaction at every level. LivTours transformed an already wonderful vacation into an unforgettable journey through Italy's history, art, faith, and culture. This is truly a five-star company, and I will absolutely be booking with them again when I return to Italy next year.

How can I even begin to thank ITER tours!? Our trip to Ponza and Palmerola was nothing short of…read moreincredible! Initially we had been cancelled on by a different company on Viator and ITER tours saved The day and the trip! They made this once in a life time adventure so easy and accommodating. The trip to Ponza was very fun and comfortable on the fast ferry over from port de Anzio and the excursion boat was such a blast! Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about Rome and the islands and was super fun and interesting. We had spent so much time in the city during our ten day trip and I can honestly say that ITER tours tour to Ponza and Palmerola was one of my most treasured memories from the whole trip. Take this trip and use this company you will not be disappointed!

I have several friends that have used Max and his company over the last 10 years. Everyone of them…read moretold me that if you are ever Italy you need to hire him. I can say that Max lived up to the hype and we really enjoyed spending three days with his company. We did the typical sites in Roma and Max also took us to Pompei and Sorrento. We would never been able to see all the places we did without hiring Max and I think we spent about 10 minutes total over three days waiting in line. Typical tourists wait hours just trying to get into the Vatican or the Colosseum. If your time is valuable and you want to truly enjoy Roma and Italy without all the headaches than pay a little extra get the best guide company I have ever had the pleasure of using.

There are only a hand full of events in a lifetime that truly mark your soul. The two days we…read morespent with Max were one of those moments. His knowledge of Rome, it's layers of history, and Max's kindness made for a truly memorable visit. Max had an ability to make us feel like we were the only people in the city and that we were truly "friends not customers". He ensured we felt welcome at every location we visited, while ensuring we understood and appreciated the depth of historical significance the relics and monuments we visited held. The only bad part of Max's tour was the end, when we had to say good-bye to a true scholar of Rome and a genuine man. It would be a mistake not to let Max introduce you to Rome! Don and Sara

I'm a huge fan of Access Europe. They never treated us like tourists or foreigners. Instead, they…read moreapproached us like we were his special guests. We weren't celebrities like his past clients (Oprah, Bill Gates, Frank Sinatra, and Sharon Stone just to name a few), but we were still treated as if we were true VIPs. What made our guide special was that he listened to me and my wife. When he found out that my wife's major interests included Catholic history, he immediately adjusted his itinerary, focused on historically significant locations in the Catholic faith, and as a result created a truly personalized experience that changed our lives forever. My wife and I wanted a personalized experience with space. We didn't want to be herded like cattle like the other tour groups and we didn't want to be rushed on a trip that was meant to relax us. We wanted privacy, intimacy, and a life changing experience... Access Europe delivered.

Our trip to the Vatican was once in a lifetime with a private tour guide Giulio who came and picked us up in a private car at our hotel. The highlight of our trip was the day we spent on the ocean on our own boat that arrived at the docks in Positano and brought us along the entire amalfi coast and over to Capri. The entire experience we had with Access Europe was top shelf and would recommend their services to anyone looking for a experience of a lifetime!

We had Riccardo for our Express Colosseum tour June 2026 for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). I…read moreunderstand there can be language differences, but as someone who speaks both Italian and English, even I couldn't understand the hybrid way the guide spoke - he left the whole group not understanding a single word. The explanations were monotone, the emphasis was on the wrong syllables and oddly, every word that should start with a vowel started with an H. Helephant. Hantelope. Height-Height. Also far too much time was spent on his binder of web photos. I'm not sure what company this guide was contracted through (as I'm fairly certain The Roman Guy uses third parties now, which is different from the first time I used them a few years ago), but TRG needs to review the fluency of their guides. This was my third tour of the Colosseum over the past few years and it was a complete waste of money. It was supposed to be only an hour and after 90 minutes of not comprehending a word we finally left. Since the official Colosseum site makes it not easy to secure tickets directly, I'm just viewing the whole experience as an overpriced entry ticket. Many people in our group just took their earpieces off after a certain point. Regarding the actual tour booking and the days leading up to it, I received a message a few weeks prior stating that the tour could not happen at the scheduled time due to operational issues, and would I be open to coming later in the day? They asked me to choose an option (which there was no second option presented but I presumed it was a refund) so I told them I would just take the refund as we had a flight to catch during the revised time. They wrote me back immediately and said that "they were just checking on if I could take the new time but the scheduled time is still fine". Very confusing, is it cancelled for operational reasons or not? The whole thing was just odd and I won't be booking again.
