We had Santi (LivItaly Tours) as private guide on this 2.5-3hr tour of colosseum and underground area followed by Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Santi was fabulous, accommodating, flexible and knowledgeable! If you want to see things others don’t get to see and you want to feel like a VIP, this company does it well. We paid more for the private version but there are also semi-private and larger groups. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and quality of this travel company in Rome (LivItaly Tours) and Santi. We liked him so much we came back 2 days later for Vatican early morning skip the lines private tours along with Sistine Chapel and Saint Peters Cathedral. Fabulous experience worth every euro and you feel like it is just you and each site. trey shelton Duck NC

We had a private tour of the Roman Forum and the Colosseum on October 5. Our English speaking guide Massimo was fantastic. I'd highly recommend that if you take this tour ask for Massimo to be your guide. You'll be very happy you did.
