AMAZING tour experience!…read more We had a private 4-hour golf cart tour (highlights of all major attractions) which allowed us to see so many special places all over the city and from vantage points we would never have found on our own. Plus the golf cart was just fun whipping down random cobblestone streets and through crowds of people. It was a really special experience for us, and our tour guide was superb; very jocular and down to earth. As part of the tour our guide also got us into the pantheon for free and showed us around one of the local churches which had unique graphic illusions (as well as some creepy skulls/skeletons incorporated into the religious artwork). One of my favorite parts of the tour was stopping to check out Giardino degli Aranci (orange grove public square overlooking the city at night). Highly recommended.

AWESOME in every way! Our driver Matteo was absolutely…read morefantastic. Personable and knowledgeable, he was like an extension of our family, not just a tour guide. Do you want to see a lot of Rome in a short time? This is the way to do it!

They went above and beyond my expectations. I needed to change the time of my tour, but had not…read morepurchased this flexibility. When I called they said they would take my number and call if there was a cancelation but they did not offer hope. The next morning we got a call from them and were abel to accommodate. But time was really tight. While in the taxi driving across Rome they called and let me know we might not make it in time for the timed entry they asked to speak with the driver to get a closer drop off location. But then when we got there, they called me again to make sure I made it and connected to the tour guide who had the tickets. NEVER have I experienced such wonderful and caring customer service. The tour guide herself, Sylvia, was excellent and knowledgeable able to answer questions that dove deeper into hidden meaning in the art. Great experience. Skip the line is very much worth the cost.

Last week I booked two tours through Viator, one in Rome and one in Barcelona. My previous Viator…read moretours have been very good. The Barcelona tour reservation went well but I am VERY dismayed about the Rome tour. I accidentally booked the wrong time for my Rome tour (I wanted to go around the same time as my friends) and realized it immediately. I called within 10 minutes to change it but was told I COULD NOT CHANGE THE TIME SINCE IT WAS SOLD AS A NONCHANGEABLE TOUR. BEWARE OF THIS WHEN YOU BOOK WITH THIS ORGANIZATION AND BE VERY, VERY SURE YOU ARE BOOKING THE CORRECT TOUR, TIME AND DAY BECAUSE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED, even when you are requesting a change for a tour that is FOUR MONTHS AWAY and booked only minutes before the request.

The students split up with some making pasta and the others preparing the ingredients for the fried pizza dough with fresh tomatoes, the meat sauce for the pasta and the tiramisu. The quality was first rate. The small restaurant was maxed out with our 25, but we never felt crowded. If you need an evening event with your group you should definitely have it here. The walls were filled with artwork provided by all the different collegiate groups that come here. Our students loved it!

We had a fantastic time on the Rome on a Golf Cart Semi-Private Tour with LivTours, guided by…read moreChris. He was personable, clear in his explanations, and attentive to our needs throughout the tour. What made it especially memorable was how he connected with our kids--getting them excited about gelato was a fun touch that they still talk about! The golf cart was a lifesaver, making it easy to visit several sites that would have been impossible to reach with a 5-year-old and 2-year-old in tow. We even opted for the cart to pick us up from the hotel so it was seamless from beginning to end. The car seat for our youngest was clutch. Actually the ride was so soothing that our 2 year old fell asleep for part of the trip. Chris also introduced us to the Roman Orange Garden, a peaceful spot we'd never have found on our own. While many sites in Rome are walkable, this tour gave us the freedom to explore comfortably as a family, and we truly appreciated the balance of convenience and insight. If you are someone who love to do all the research ahead of time, then maybe this tour is too surface level for you. I would recommend a more targeted tour for the Coliseum or Vatican City. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend LivTours--and especially Chris--for families looking for an stress-free way to experience Rome.

(Night Time Vatican Tour)…read more We really enjoyed the Vatican, but felt like our guide was rushing us while we were walking through. But the Vatican is big, so we assumed she wanted to show us other portions of the grounds. Our tour was supposed to go until 8 PM, but she ended things at 7 PM. She said we could walk back into the last wing of the museum to see things on our own but security would not allow us to walk back in. We spent seconds / maybe minutes, looking at whole sections of art. She left almost no time to stand and look at things, everything was "ok let's keep going". Although we still enjoyed things, we definitely left extremely disappointed given the cost of the experience. (We paid 318€ for two people to tour - 60€ was the cost of the tickets, so 258€ was the cost of the tour guide.

Federica Dal Palu is a former art history professor and native Roman. The four hours we spent…read morewalking around Rome with her were not only a blast, but really set the tone and opened our eyes for the 8 days we spent in Italy. She is knowledgeable, funny, and easy going. I was particularly impressed by her ability to impart detailed historical facts, fun trivia and global insights so effortlessly. My daughter and I have reflected that we are surprised by how much we remember that we learned that day. We are not particularly tour loving travelers (I am easily annoyed when I listen to other tour guides droning their spiels!) but this was a wonderful treat. Federica will make suggestions (see her website) but is also able to really switch it up in the moment to make it the most meaningful tour FOR YOU. She clearly enjoys sharing her city and I could not recommend booking a tour with her more enthusiastically!
