In the vibrant heart of international tourism, Carrani Tours made a significant mark at Fitur Madrid, once again affirming its leadership position in the Italian inbound tourism sector. As we approach the centennial of our foundation with excitement, this year marks the 99th year of uninterrupted operation, a milestone few companies in the tourism world can boast.

Carrani Tours, with roots dating back to 1925 and a legacy passionately preserved by the same family, has continued to evolve, always keeping the quality and authenticity of the experience offered to its clients at its core. The presence of Carrani Tours at FITUR MADRID – the reference fair for the Latin American market – was a celebration of successes and innovations.

Our complete team enthusiastically welcomed both long-standing partners and new clients, kicking off the event with a unique cultural experience: a guided tour of the Prado Museum, with a particular focus on the sublime Italian painting and the recently restored work of Caravaggio, “David and Goliath.” This moment symbolized the essence of our work: to move through beauty and history.
