Roaming Historian is a Tour Guy, LivTours, and Viator affiliate, so our readers can use our links to enjoy their small-group tours throughout Italy! I’ve provided some links below to our reviews of some of their fabulous tours–read all about the fun, informative adventures we’ve had with them. We love that they offer tours that give you special access to a site or show you the hidden secrets of a city! You can get a private tour, join a semi-private tour, find a small group, buy tickets directly, or save money with a bigger group. With companies like Liv Tours (six people or fewer) or Tour Guy (generally around 15), you don’t have to worry about getting lost in the crowd…you will have an inclusive, exclusive experience.
