Maria with LivTours was excellent. She was a former archeologist and was able to articulate to us how life was in the third to sixth centuries AD with ease. It was enlightening and very interesting. We we’re a bit late to the tour so Maria did require that we buy the group a drink, but I won’t deduct stars for that :) It was nice to be in a smaller group and bypass the crowds; I recommend this tour highly and would do it again next time in Rome!129chriss

This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide Donata was smart, well educated on the Colosseum and Ramon Forum, etc. and very fun to spend several hours with. She made sure we were doing well throughout the tour. The tour itself was just awe inspiring. I could not believe the architecture and stories about Ancient Rome. This was my favorite tour during our two weeks in Italy. There is a lot of walking and stair climbing, so be ready. It is well worth it.
