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—a sustainable tourism company focused on the country where Angelo was born and which brought them together.
Originally called LivItaly Tours, the company rapidly grew to be a leader in the industry and recognized as Italy’s number one personalized experience provider. Wishing to take their mission outside of Italy, Angelo and Kristin renamed the company LivTours and exported the core characteristics that originally helped them to stand out of the crowd: respect for the rich cultural and environmental heritage of every destination and an aim to share with each and every passing traveler an experience of those destinations via our passionate and educated tour guides.
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 every member has at least one thing in common—dedication to making every travel experience a truly unique and unforgettable one.
