What are people saying about Rome

Marisa_L, Aug 2026

Great experience for the entire family

This experience was one of our top excursions of our trip to Italy. The activity was different from anything else we did and linked really nicely with our visit to Rome's Colosseum. We had a family of four including two kids ages 13 & 10. While it seems our group lent itself to a slightly younger crowd, our kids still had a blast. The instructor was also amazing and made the entire experience a light-hearted, good time. My only advice is to book a return car from the location back to your hotel/ downtown Rome as it was tough to get an uber or tax to return.

Francesco’s Golf Cart with Prosecco tour

Our driver / guide was Francesco and he was amazing ! He was lively and his commentary was interesting and knowledgeable, he took us to a couple of off the beaten paths where we enjoyed some local meat cheese and wine and then we went on a tiny little walk to a shop that has hundreds of local beers and a very quirky and chatty owner , such an enjoyable night and I would say that Francesco was one of the best tour guides we have had in a long while , I would not hesitate to use LIVTOURS again for my future excursions

Christina_T, Aug 2026

An amazing experience!

We had a wonderful day visiting Positano and Pompei! We were worried that the day would be too long, but it went by quickly and we really enjoyed our visits to both places. Marlena was an excellent and informative guide, sharing lots of information and stories throughout the day. And Antonio was a great driver navigating the winding roads. Would highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful Excursion!

This was the highlight of our Rome trip. We wanted to take a break from the heat, and so glad we took a chance to visit Ponza Island! Our ten, eleven, and thirteen year old sons enjoyed swimming and snorkeling. Mara was a fun, well organized guide also! Just a truly fun, memorable trip. Thank you!!!

Colosseum Forum Ancient Rome Small Group Tour for Kids Families

Monica_C, Jul 2026

Great kid friendly tour of the Colosseum

Great tour by Francesco-we had a group of 7 in total with 3 kids who were all similar ages and bonded with the other family on the tour. Francesco kept the kids engaged and built in time for toilets and snacks, which is important when traveling with kids. Francesco has kids of his own and inherently understood what kids are interested in and showed renderings of what the colosseum would have looked like in ancient times. I would highly recommend this tour when visiting Rome.

Rome Sights by Segway Tour

Sarah_L, Jul 2026

Great tour guide

Was a great start the tour guide was lovely so informative and I felt safe on the Segway but 15 mins into the tour we got pulled over by the police!! Who were extremely rude…. The tour guide dealt with the situation very well but unfortunately our tour came to an end ! We received a full refund no questions asked. Was such a shame as felt this would have been amazing….. very professional.

Serena_M, Jun 2026

Class was great, loved Sunny

The class (and especially Sunny) was amazing!!! My kids (8 and 11) had such a great time, the class was fun for all of us, adults included. Pizza and tiramisu were not only fun to make but actually tasted good! As a nice bonus, it was SO hot and this was such a welcome reprieve from the heat, AC was blasting and perfect.

We loved making pizza with Mattia!!

Our family of four, including two girls ages 11 and 8, really enjoyed our pizza and gelato making experience. Mattia was a wonderful teacher - he walked us through and explained each step with such knowledge and patience, and was very sweet with the kids. The food itself was delicious and to know we made it ourselves enhanced the experience even more. Highly recommend!!

Family-Friendly Vatican Tour for Kids with Sistine Chapel

Jessica_W, May 2026

Claudia was incredible!

Claudia was a phenomenal tour guide with our family (5 people, kids 2 and 3, parents and Grandma). The day wouldn't have been the same without her. She's been doing tours for at least 10 years and knew exactly how to navigate the Vatican with ease and history behind everything we asked about. She kept our 2 and 3 year old interested with a scavenger hunt, even though the tour is recommended for kids ages 6 +. The Sistine chapel was beautiful and we were able to pray with the kids. We did not do Peter's Basilica due to the line and ages of our kids, but ending in the square is an easy way to get souvenirs and eat lunch in town. Thanks Claudia!

Daniela_K, Oct 2025

Highly recommended for kids

We had a private tour with Roberta. We all loved it. It was very informative and the perfect amount of time for my girls aged 10 and 12. Roberta was fantastic, she kept the girls entertained and explained things very well. My kids really bonded well with her and made sure I completed this review. Thanks Roberta from Sophie and Micaela from Australia!
