Colosseum & Ancient Rome Private: Women History Guided Tour

Laura Sensi was an excellent tour guide with tons of knowledge. We loved having her as our tour guide.

Very good tour guide, Laura Sensi was very imformative and patient. Very good at finding the shade!

Laura Sensi our guides was charming, so knowledgeable and perfect for our group.

Sandro is a very engaging storyteller and showed us a side of the Roman Archeological park that we had never expected to see.

Sara was such an amazing tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and was considerate of every member of our party. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the best photos, recommendations, and views.

We did the “Best Sistine Chapel Early Morning Viewing” but it was not available in the dropdown for this review. We loved Tetyana. She’s a walking encyclopedia and provides far more historical context than you would expect. We appreciated her friendly manner and engaging tour of the Museums of the Vatican. Thanks Tetyana for an unforgettable experience!

Lucy was an excellent tour guide. Her insight was amazing. The historical expertise was insightful in bring history to life! I was extremely thankful for her guidance especially taking me to a very special place.

The tour was full of amazing information. The tour added to my knowledge. The guide had extensive knowledge and made the Ribal was our guide.

Tour guide was absolutely fantastic! So personable and made the tour so enjoyable! 10/10 would recommend! Small group size made it feel personal!

This was a great tour! Elena knew so much about the history of this spectacular place, particularly the stories of the women of the time. We got to see all the important sites and learn about how life in ancient Rome differed from and yet is still similar to today. And then, she gave us a great recommendation for a lunch spot nearby. Loved it!

Amazing tour with Raffy! She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the women's story and women's place in history. Her perspective is so important. Thank you!

We went on an amazing private tour of the Colosseum and Ancient Rome tour with Rosaria. She was fantastic- so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about every aspect of the Colosseum. Rosaria greeted us at the beginning and knew the best places to snap great pictures! It was perfect for my husband and me and our four college-aged kids.

Paola was great. We were delayed by a half-marathon running through the city and she was very patient. The tour was very informative.

Awesome morning private tour with guide to see so many sights and learn a lot!! We saw more in one morning driving than we could see all day walking.

Valentina was the perfect guide for our Women of Ancient Rome Colosseum and Forum tour. Our group of 8 learned so much from her and enjoyed her obvious enthusiasm. Valentina was also very helpful in assisting us with requesting and finding our Uber drivers at the end. We've just returned from a month in Italy which included many private tours and we all agree that Valentina topped our list of favorites. She was very attentive to our groups' areas of interest and we loved hearing about influential and powerful women from ancient Roman days.

The tour went very well we will do it again thanks for all the good pictures we loved Rome and the tour guide. Grazie Mille ciao ciao

Absolutely amazing tour of the Colosseum and Pantheon! Valentina was terrific, like opening a book of history, culture and architecture. There is no way to have known the overview and detail on your own that was provided. Wonderful!

Fabulous time. Lots of hidden gems. Would recommend. Very easy on the golf cart. Saw lots of great things! Alexandra the tour guide was fantastic!

We toured the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. Dennis was our tour guide and he was amazing. His knowledge, passion and personality was 10 ⭐️ we thoroughly enjoyed the tour because he made the experience so memorable. I highly recommend Dennis when choosing your tour guide.

We had a tour with Dennie and he was fantastic. He was very lively and kind and helped us a lot, he was also very funny and provided tons of information which was very interesting.

The tour was so fun and our guide Alexandra did an amazing job ! We loved every minute ! The golf cart was a perfect way to see the city!

We had a great time, our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. She explained all that was necessary and always asked if we had questions and always left time for us to take as many pictures as we wanted.

Me and my family cruised the different neighborhoods together with the amazing guide Riccardo, who truly showed us authentic Rome, with perspectives on modern life in the city as well as covering the unmatched historical sights in ancient Rome. It was truly the best City experience I could imagine. Worth every penny / O

The tour was amazing we had such a wonderful time. To visit assisted by an experienced guide (Sylvia "Sissy" is the best!!!) makes such a diference! Thx you guys

Cate was an amazing tour guide. A wealth of knowledge and the bonus was helping us avoid long lines. Definitely the way to go!

The tour was awesome. Very informative and answered all our questions. Our tour guy Dennis could not have been any better. Truly recommend him if there is a choice.

Azzurra was an incredible guide! Engaging and extremely knowledgeable We covered all parts of the Colloseum and learnt about the rich history of Rome

What to say? Learned so much, but it was fun and interesting. We were enthralled and I learned more than a year of a class!!! wonderful guide, had so much fun. Can’t wait to do another tour!!! Loved the female focus, thank you !!!

Francesco was our tour guide and he was the best! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and he made the experience so much fun! Honestly, one of the funniest people we have ever met. I think his kindness, comedy, and knowledge made the experience memorable. I would do it all over again I could!! Definitely recommend!! 100000/10

We were absolutely blown away with our Colosseum tour with Dario. He was funny and informative and did a great job of moving us through the Colosseum and then on to Palentine Hill and the Roman Forum. He never rushed us, but we didn't feel like we missed anything either. It was a gloomy wet and rainy day, and he was great keeping us in the dry areas as he could! More than anything, I want Dario to know how much we appreciated his recognition of my parents' abilities. We were traveling with my parents (both 80) who are generally active. However, my mom has difficulty with stairs and my dad had an unfortunate fall outside of the Vatican the day before our Colosseum tour meaning that neither of them were at 100%. Without asking, he kindly utilized the elevator for them to go up and down at the Colosseum so they didn't miss any of the tour. I truly cannot tell you how much that meant to us and to them. We spent 13 days touring sites from Athens to Greek islands, Turkey and other stops in Italy, and Dario was one of our top two tours. He was engaging and so warm and friendly. We were impressed with the entire set up from start to finish with LivTours. I would absolutely book another personal tour with LivTours (and Dario!) and will recommend LivTours to my agency and my clients. Well done!

First visit to Rome, and difficult to pick tour companies. Saw a few good recommendations for Liv Tours, so went with them. I made a few changes to the reservation (changed tours), and customer service was very accommodating. I can highly recommend Liv Tours. Only had a few days in Rome pre-cruise, so I did not want to risk having to deal with a flakey company. A little more expensive than other companies, but they have small groups and are reliable. After passing a few groups of 20, I am glad I went with a small tour (max 6 people). 3 Liv Tours in 3 days helped us to see the a few major sites in Rome in depth. If you are spending a week in Rome, start with the Golf Cart tour to get a good overview. If you want a good artwork tour, see Baroque Masterpieces: Borghese Gallery Tour and request Selenia (her area of specialty). Wanted to see the Colosseum and surrounding area, so chose we chose the Women in Ancient Rome tour that included the Forum and Palatine Hill as well. Selenia is an art history major, so gave us a lot of history of the sites. She spoke English well. Not sure if the extra cost for the arena floor add-on was worth it. You can get a look with the regular admission. Having Selenia describe the story behind each site helped envision what you were looking at in its full glory, and was well worth it. If you are arriving by cab, give yourself a lot of extra time. We started a 20-minute cab ride an hour early, and still only arrived just in time. The last part on foot, since cars are not allowed that close to the metro station. I sent an e-mail that we are running late, and all was well.

Carlotta was so knowledgeable and made the tour very insightful! She knew all the answers! She had a wonderful humor and made it fun as well. Would definitely recommend!

Massimo was a great guide and taught us a lot of Roman history. His English was very helpful and whe I spoke Italian he helped me out

He was amazing at answering all questions and giving thorough descriptions and details regarding everything done with enough humor to lighten the mood amd cause laughter

Amazing tour guide. Amazing tour. Highly recommend. In depth. Educational. Great pictures. It is a must do.

Elizabetta @ LIV was our tour guide and our experience was amazing. She shared so many details, stories, photos as well as her personal story, being part of an excavation project and her findings. She was awesome!

We paid a premium price for this tour, I have to say it was not worth it. There were supposed to be six people on our tour. We had six people in our group and booked this tour so we could have a private experience. When we got there they did not have enough tour guides so they added two people to our tour. What a RIP OFF!. When I questioned the coordinator about it he was rude and what I would consider abusive. He said I’ll give you your money back right now opened his wallet and made a big show of it. I would have gladly done that if I had other options at the time. It is a busy season and getting tickets for the Colosseum is very difficult. He came back to me a few minutes later and said I want you to be happy, he was very close to me and yelling in my face! I had already told him I would be fine with it I didn’t have any other options. He was rude, obnoxious and made me very uncomfortable. I would never recommend this company to anyone. They don’t give you what you pay for an after speaking to a clerk who is working at a nearby stand she told me they do that all the time! The tour guide was OK that’s why I gave it a two rating. Stay away from this company!

John was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and very helpful. Would recommend him to everyone! My husband and REALLY enjoyed the experience!

MarkWinds was an amazing guide to our tour!! He explained things very clearly and put it into perspective for our 3 kids as well. They all raved over the tour afterwards for the rest of the day!!

AryAry was an excellent tour guide. We toured the Coliseum and Roman Forum with her. she is very informative, funny, and made sure we had a great time. AryAry made sure we saw everything and understood all the great history. She was great! We highly recommend taking a tour with her!

Thank you Livia! Our family had a wonderful private family tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum! The information shared with us and knowledge of the area was amazing! So grateful to have LivTours take us on this memorable experience! Wow! Highly, highly recommend! 👏🏻

Emmanuel was instrumental in the enjoyment my wife and I experience, in our tour of Rome. My wife and I are on our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for a better way to get to know the area with comfort. He was very professional and informed, but beyond that he made us feel safe and we had an absolute blast! Between being personable and considerate, it was really refreshing to have a tour guide be candid and share with us some stops along our tour that he thought would be in our interest. I can’t recommend Emmanuel enough, because a tour with anyone else would be a mistake. If you see this, thanks again man it was an awesome time and we really appreciate it!

Dennis was very informative and knowledgeable. Be sure to bring a water bottle and be prepared for some steps but not bad overall!

John Tinto was amazing! Definitely recommend this tour. He was very informative and clearly was passionate.

Dennis did amazing! We had such a good time. He clearly knew what he was talking about and was very personable!

Tour Guide VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY! LUCY was VERY knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I couldn't ask for a better tour guide.

Lorenzo was amazing! He took great care with our group and explained so many things at the colosseum!

The tour was great! We made so many interesting spots and took so many photos. Luka was a great tour guide who made our experience amazing!!

Skip the heat and the hiking! It's a first class way to travel from sight to sight, and stop off to try a treat or an espresso!!! Well done Kiko! This is my third time to Rome, this time the whole family is on the trip. We would never have made it if we had to walk, to see so much of the city. The recommendations for food were all home runs!! That was a fun day in Rome!!
