      Greek temples brought to life by a delightful guide
      With our dear friends and traveling companions, the Chiltons, we had the good fortune to tour Sicily's Valley of the Temples with the wonderful Ilaria. She told us she had been doing this tour (among others) for just over 20 years and she still loves it. She loves the place (who wouldn't? it is grand and peaceful at the same time), the history, and the people she meets. Ilaria explained how the fortification wall around the temple mount had been the burial place of nobles, a fact we were entirely ignorant of, and she had a notebook of illustrations that were critical to learning how these massive chunks of golden limestone were quarried, transported, assembled, and finished on site. Ilaria was very honest when we asked a question to which there is no (as yet) known answer. That is what makes a tour of such a site so evocative! Perhaps the answer will come in our lifetimes...or not. What was most impactful was the realization that these temples housed images of the gods, were visited by an extremely small elite of priests, and that no ordinary human being ever entered them. Beyond the astounding subject matter of the tour of the Valley of the Temples, I want to say that the temperament of a guide is a most important factor in a pleasant experience! Ilaria is warm, has a wonderful sense of humor, is a keen judge of the interest of her visitors and the extent of their physical energy, and an excellent communicator. We wished we could have taken her along for the rest of our journey! Thank you, Ilaria!!

      Best day on Mt Etna
      It was my favorite day on the 2-week trip to Rome and Sicily, hands down. Peppe was an amazing guide for our family of 3 (including a 7-year old). So informative and fun. I am especially thankful for how he kept us safe and comfortable on Mount Etna (my daughter is a little dare devil and my husband suddenly developed fear of heights!). The itinerary for the day was a perfect mix of adventure, fun and deliciousness. Just when we thought Peppe couldn’t top our experience after Mt Etna and the visit inside a cave, the stop at the winery took everything to another level. The wine, the olive oil, the food, the sweets! The perfect way to end the day. Peppe never rushed us through any of the activities and really prioritized us having the best time and being safe. Thank you Peppe and EtnaTribe!

      Highlight of our trip, Tour of Taormina!
      We had the best time exploring Taormina with our fabulous guide Valentino! His passion and knowledge of the area made this experience a highlight of our 2 week trip to Europe! We were mesmerized with the history and beauty at every turn. Our guide Valentino carried rain ponchos for us because the forecast did show rain but we ended up with perfect gorgeous weather. He spoke with our cab driver to make sure we were picked up at the right place & time. He even made sure we tasted a local arancini as his treat to us!!!LivTours kept great communication with us as we originally had a hiccup finding a taxi from our port and was running very late for our guide. The professionalism and reassurance when your in another country meant so much to us. We will use LivTours again and request Valentino on our next trip to Sicily! Thank you so much Livtours Italy and our gem of a guide Valentino for making our day in Taormina so special!!

      5 Star Guided Tour Valle dei Templi in Agrigento
      My husband and I did a private guided tour in Valle dei Templi, Agrigento, beginning of November 2021 with Lorenzo. We met with Lorenzo at the Juno temple and walked through the Valle dei Templi for more than 2 hours. Lorenzo is very knowledgeable and explained all about the history of the development of the Valley, through Greek and Roman times. Lorenzo even had an Ipad with him on the tour to give some further insights to the construction of some of the temples and to show some pictures of how some of the temples used to look like. As Lorenzo is from Agrigento, he even shared local stories of his home town and gave some insights into Italian family life. The 2 hours passed by so quickly, it was a fantastic combination of history and bringing history to life. A (lively) MUST tour of LivTours in Agrigento. Thanks to Lorenzo.

      Sicily tour with kids captivating !
      Moishe was great. The tour was geared to kids and walking through Taormina was captivating with a tour guide. Would highly recommend for a family traveling to Sicily. We had a 14 year old , a 12 year old and a 5 year old in tow. Thank you for a great tour.
