The Regatta Storica is a historic boat race that takes place on the Grand Canal in Venice each year.
This theatrical event showcases a parade of ornate traditional Venetian boats and competitive rowing races.

Dating back to the 13th century, this colorful pageant celebrates Venice's maritime heritage and attracts thousands of spectators each year.

Bike Tour vs Walking tour - which one is for you? 🤔
Both options are great, and can familiarize you with your destination, but which one is better?
🚲 Bike tours cover more ground, get you from place to place more quickly, and make you feel like a local zipping around on two wheels. You can see places that are further out that you might not get to see on a walking tour.
👉It's great fun for kids and adults, but might not be well-suited to seniors or those with mobility issues.
🚶♀️Walking tours are one of the best and most common ways to get to know a new place. These work best when the top sites are relatively close by, but you also need to be open to getting a few steps in. Walking tours are more easily adaptable for accessibility so those with mobility issues can go at their own pace.
👉Top Tip: book a private walking tour so you can go at your own pace and stay longer in places you'd like to explore.

Save Sofia & Nicolas' Top Tips for finding the best gelato in Rome:
🍦 Look for the steel covers!
This usually means the gelato is made fresh and kept at the right temperature.
🍦 Flavors shouldn't be brightly colored
If they are, it's likely they're made with artificial flavoring 👎
🍦 Don't just go to the first place you see
Authentic gelateries are sometimes off the beaten path, but worth looking for.
Have you tried gelato in Rome?
"We all really enjoyed and learned so much on this tour!"
"We went on the Guided Tour for Families at the British Museum with a guide. It was such a wonderful experience. We met her around 9:45am for our 10am entry to the museum. There was already a long line waiting for the museum to open, but thanks to our guide, we had a spot right at the front. On this museum tour, we explored the highlights of the world-famous collection of ancient treasures of the British Museum including the: Rosetta Stone, Egyptian mummies, Greek and Roman Statues, Easter Island Head, Lewis Chessman, Sutton Hoo and Parthenon Marbles. Ellie told stories about the history and kept the kids fully engaged as we explored the museum." – Felicia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Meet Angelo, Kristin, Nicolas & Sofia – the LivTours Family!

Today, LivTours offers over 350 intimate and carefully crafted small group and private experiences across Europe including Italy, Spain, France, England, and most recently, Austria! From inspiring walking tours of historical centers to cooking classes, museum visits, boat rides, and helicopter adventures, LivTours has something for everyone.

Did you know the next Palio di Siena is coming up soon? 🤩
This exhilarating horse race in the small town of Siena, Italy dates back to the 17th century and combines history and pageantry with intense competition. Back in the day, they would race buffalo and donkeys, but eventually switched to horses 🏇🏇
Today you can witness this exciting event as each of the local districts compete in a bare-back horse race in the Piazza del Campo
➡️ Dates: July 2nd & August 16th
➡️ Tickets: It's free to attend from the central part of the Piazza del Campo, but you'll need a ticket if you want to watch from above in the balconies and grandstands
TOUR ALERT: If you're interested in seeing the sites in Siena, you can book our exclusive day trip to Siena & San Gimignano here ✨https://livtours.com/tours/siena-san-gimignano-exclusive-tuscany-day-trip-from-florence/

Just a friendly reminder that you can visit the Vatican and Sistine Chapel without all the crowds ✨
Comment "Alone in the Vatican" to find out how 👇
🍁 Whether you're traveling for fall colors or trying to avoid the summer crowds, save this list of the 5 best European cities to visit in autumn:
1) ✨Vienna✨
Austria's capital is our number one pick for a fall getaway. The city is full of historic palaces, museums, and coffee houses, and the vibrant gardens at Schönbrunn Palace (pictured above) are lovely for a brisk autumn stroll.
2) ✨Florence✨
Florence is the perfect jumping off point for the rolling hills of Tuscany that transform into a sea of color in the autumn months. You can combine a city experience and a more relaxed visit to the vineyards
3) ✨Seville✨
Spain in the off-season is the best time to visit because it's quieter but still warm enough to enjoy the last of the summer sun.
4) ✨Rome✨
Autumn in Rome also means fewer crowds, shorter lines and more comfortable temperatures. It's a perfect time to book a few tours and take in the sights and sounds of this ancient city.
5) ✨Sicily✨
It's not a city, but it's hard to pick just one place in Sicily to go to. You'll still get a good bit of sun to enjoy the beaches but you won't have as many crowds to deal with.

Have you heard about the heatwave in Italy right now? 🥵 If you’re traveling there in the next week, here are some ways you can stay safe and cool in the heat:
➡️ Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water, available in still (acqua naturale) or sparkling (acqua frizzante/gassata) varieties; reusable bottles are recommended.
➡️ Wear Appropriate Clothing
Choose natural fabrics and light colors; hats or umbrellas for shade are advisable.
➡️ Always use Sunblock
Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen and reapply multiple times daily.
➡️ Optimal Tour Times
Book an early morning or sunset tour to avoid peak heat.
⛪ Don't forget about the dress code for Churches!
Cover shoulders, midriffs, and knees, & remove hats.
⛲Fountains in Rome may be tempting but...
Tourists in Rome are not allowed to enter the historic fountains and can face fines, so as tempting as it may be to jump in, it's not worth it!
To all of our clients on tours in the summer months – we want you to have wonderful summertime travel experiences, so make sure to stay cool and let our guides know if you're needing any assistance.

Do you know what lies beneath St. Peter's Basilica?
Nearly 40 ft beneath the church lies the remains of the Vatican Necropolis. This vast underground is a burial chamber for past Popes and other significant religious figures.
During the mid-1940s, Pope Pius XII began an extensive excavations project to locate and identify the tombs below including that of St. Peter. Some of the tombs they found dated back to the 3rd century 🤯
Today you can catch a glimpse of the Necropolis when you visit the St. Peter's Basilica!

If you’ve been to the Louvre museum in Paris, what was your favorite exhibit or item? If you haven’t been, what do you want to see the most? I loved seeing the Venus de Milo and Winged Victory, and of course… the Mona Lisa (did you catch my attempt at a Mona Lisa smile lol?), but I really appreciated that our wonderful guide Anna from Liv Tours pointed out small wonders like the dragon vessel with the moving tongue (halfwayish in this reel) in The Galerie d’Apollon and shared the history and stories that accompanied the art. If you haven’t done a guided museum tour before, I highly recommend it! 📍 Musée du Louvre with LivTours For more Paris ideas and inspo, check out our Paris highlight and #wongsvisitparis ! 🇫🇷 #paris #museelouvre #louvre #monalisa #venusdemilo #parismuseums #travelblogger #visitparis #paristravel #travelwithkids #livtours #livtoursparis Museums in Paris | Visiting the Louvre | Paris with kids 📹: everydayadventurefam
LivTours is a family owned company specializing in providing unforgettable private or semi private tours and travel experiences throughout Europe.
We like to describe ourselves at the forefront of eco tourism meaning we work hard to support local businesses and promote off the beaten path activities that care for the environment and get you away from the crowds. We also know the right people and have special partnerships with museums and tourist attractions like the Vatican that allows us to give you exclusive access to areas the average traveler would never get to see. By never having more than 6 people in any group, we hope to create a more intimate touring experience so our visitors feel safe, relaxed and can get personalized interaction that’s like touring with a friend, yet better! Then, with the help of your expert top rated guide, you can merge in with people of the place you are visiting, allowing you to truly embody the culture of the place you’re exploring, after-all, isn’t this the point of travel?
We launched back in 2009 as LivItaly and in those days, we had tours in only one city; Rome. Our tours were so popular that we soon expanded to Pompeii, and then on to Venice and Florence. In 2017 we took the leap outside of Italy and proudly launched in Barcelona, Spain. We’ve since gone on to provide remarkably successful tour bases in Milan, and most recently Sicily, Paris and very soon, London. It’s been clear to us for some time that our original name didn’t exactly fit anymore. We had to admit to ourselves that our beloved brand name LivItaly needed to step aside for a name that more accurately represented our current business, as well as our grander visions for the future.
Enter LivTours.
But despite the growth, development, excitement, success and improvements, at the end of it all, we are still the same family owned company, with an obsession for making your travel experiences some of the very best you will ever experience. We hope you’ll join the LivTours family on your next trip to Europe because we’d love to show you around.
Until the, stay safe and dream big.
Angelo, Kristin & Family.
