How LivTours Got Started

It is 2009, and world-renowned Italian tour guide and classically trained opera singer meets Swedish logistics expert Kristin in Rome (ask them about how they met!). They fell in love and then created what they love – an eco-tourism company focused on the country where Angelo was born and the same country that brought them together.

LivItaly Tours rapidly grew to be a leader in the industry and regonized to be a provider of the greatest experiences Italy had to offer. LivItaly then became LivTours as they wished to export their mission outside of Italy while continuing to maintaining core characteristics that pulled them out of the crowd: respects the rich, cultural environmental heritage of the destination, and aim to share that same environment it with each and every traveler along the way through the passion and the eyes of the tour guides hired.

Add a beloved dog to the mix (Doris), and two sweet babies (Nicolas and Sofia) and you have met the LivTours Family! But the family does not stop there. The LivTours Team keeps growing and each member has one thing in common – dedication to making every travel experience a truly unique and unforgettable one.
