kind words
Liv has been amazing in recommending, booking and also keeping in touch throughout our family holidays… Liv was able to find the best deals which suited everyone and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their next holiday.
A big thank you to Liv for going above and beyond in booking our trip. You were so efficient, quick responses and made the journey in booking with you so easy. We loved our trip to Mauritius and your check in messages whilst we were there, were really appreciated and the little surprises in our room too.
meet the founder
Liv& Travel was founded by Liv, after a career with some of the world’s most respected ultra-luxury hospitality brands and travels to more than 70 countries.
We work with a small number of clients each year, so every trip gets the time, attention and first-hand knowledge it deserves.
Nine to twelve months ahead is best for Easter, summer and Christmas, when family rooms and villas go first. Half-term can often be arranged later.
Many camps welcome children from six, some from any age, and walking safaris usually start at 12 to 16. For younger children we suggest malaria-free reserves in South Africa, private vehicles and shorter game drives.
Yes. We know which hotels have connecting rooms, family suites or villas, and we confirm them at booking rather than leaving them as a request.
Places with an overnight flight and a small time difference, such as the Indian Ocean, the Gulf and southern Africa, are easiest. The Mediterranean works well for shorter trips. We’ll choose flight times with naps in mind.
Yes, and multi-generation trips are some of our favourites. We plan the pace so there’s time together and time apart, with step-free rooms and shorter transfers where needed.
It depends on the destination. Check with your GP or a travel clinic, and see TravelHealthPro for the latest advice.
Our itinerary design service, for travellers who book themselves, starts from £500 and comes off your balance if we then book the trip.
Yes. You book the Avios flights with the airline and we arrange everything else. Those flights aren’t covered by our ATOL protection, and we’ll explain what protection applies to the rest.
