Made to Measure
Like a Savile Row master tailor, the first thing we do is get to know you a little. We learn your tastes and preferences, find out who’s going, why and how. Family, colleagues or school mates? Birthday, reunion or corporate retreat? Heavy on the miles, markets or malbec?
The Fitting
Then we fit you and your friends with your custom trip. Sometimes it just means a few alterations to a B&R trip off the rack. Love the sound of Burgundy Biking but bummed we don’t run it in April? Give us a call. Other times we dig deep. Want to craft the definitive Grand Journey around southern Africa? Bring it on: we love a challenge. With over 40 years of trips in the archives and thousands more in the back of our heads, all we need is the flimsiest of excuses. After all, this is what we love to do.
Sherri Linkoff Hoffman
Tuscany Bespoke Biking 2010
“I have never been on a vacation where literally, everything was taken out of my hands. From the luggage, to the transportation, bike routes, meals, etc., I never had to make a decision except whether or not I wanted to ride. It was fabulous. Our guides, Giacoma, and Christine could not have been more perfect. We were all sad when they left us. They fit right in with our group, taught us so much, and bent over backwards to make our trip a true vacation. Tuscany was a dream, and is now a beautiful memory thanks to our guides and of course our hosts.”

“Courtney is a gem she could not have been more attentive to detail and to our needs. The most memorable meal was our anniversary dinner on a hilltop overlooking Cortona. Great food accompanied by a guitarist topped off by wedding cake. Brava.”
Chris & Cathy Hildenbrand
Loire Valley Bespoke With the Kids 2010
“Everything on our trip was so perfect, I cannot imagine how you would improve it. From the guides to the bike routes to the incredible chateaux we stayed in to the wonderful places we visited, ate in and rode through it truly was a memorable journey. Thank you so much for all you do to make these trips so special.”
Ashley Estwanik
Tuscany Bespoke Homebase 2010
“Dana must be the most organized person I have ever met! We had our one year old on the trip and were doing walking and biking portions. She was so organized in figuring out all the logistics with everyone’s needs on the trip. She is a remarkable person, truly! Most memorable moment was when all the ‘adults’ got up with the Pipistrelli staff and were dancing like mad! Dana, our guide, included!”
 Wanted: Ringleaders What’s a ringleader? That depends. Are you the sort of person who likes to bring friends together? The perpetual party-planning point-person? A social philanthropist who loves to share the wealth of a grand old time? If so, congratulations! You're grade-A ringleader material.
A Bespoke Ringleader is someone willing to take credit for a ten-day samba through Brazil, or an epicurean bike through Burgundy, or hundreds of other places, paces, things and times—without having to do ANY of the planning. Whether your organizational skills are good, bad or completely hopeless(!), B&R Bespoke enables you to be the ultimate ringleader.
Interested? Let us know who, and we’ll help take care of the when, what, where and how. To help us get started, please fill out our Bespoke Ringleader questionnaire.
Are your travel companions all local? Or spread across the country or around the world? Are they all into the same things you are? Or are their interests as diverse as all the possibilities for a Bespoke trip? For starters, whether you can get them all together in one room or not, we can help. Have a cocktail party—we’ll see if there is a B&R person local to you who can swing in for a drink or two. Fire up the email—we’ll organize a blog for everyone to chime in on their preferences for the trip.
Communication is key. Just tell us who you want to take with you, give us their addresses (snail mail and email) and we’ll do whatever you need us to do to get everybody sharing the same dream. Then we’ll make it reality. What might that look like? Check out some recent Bespoke trips for a little inspiration.

 (un)Common Luxury
Butterfield & Robinson’s (un)Corporate Travel redefines what a business perk can be—and how your client perceives the term “return on investment.”
After hearing years of positive feedback from satisfied travelers, we thought to apply our leisure model to a business setting. If strangers can enjoy their time spent together so thoroughly, why not partners, clients or prospects?
(un)Corporate Travel is about shaking up the stereotype of what a corporate trip can be; imagine hosting picnic meetings in the Bordeaux countryside, catching up on emails in the vestibule of a cathedral or tackling a brainstorming session at 11,000 feet, while overlooking the Aspen countryside.
Our commitment to excellence in the field of trip planning has been recognized by the likes of National Geographic Traveler, Luxury Travel Advisor and Travel + Leisure.
And this is not without reason; some of our past (un)Corporate adventures have included riding with Gauchos in the mountains of Patagonia, indulging in world-renowned Michelin-starred dinners along the Loire River in France, erecting private camps in the desert sands of Rajasthan, and hosting long-weekend golf retreats on the lush links of Scotland.
Don’t feel limited by our suggestions though; with the help of B&R’s Bespoke Trip Designers, you’ll be able to create a custom package worthy of resounding acclaim. We love a challenge—so don’t hesitate to contact us with your wildest ideas.
An unforgettable “thank you” to your most cherished client, prospect or business partner is just a phone call away.
In the forty years since B&R was conceived, we’ve had the opportunity to tailor trips for some prestigious travellers, including CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, major league ballplayers and noted musicians. Here’s what some of them have said about B&R’s (un)Corporate Travel:
“B&R’s inspired trip designs and unfailing attention to detail were key to our very successful travel program for the president of our college and small groups of major donors. In preparation of our capital campaign, our goal was to cultivate strong relationships at the heart of our institution. By every measure, the program exceeded expectations and, beyond cultivation, generated very significant giving to the college.”
—Alumni Travel Über-Planner
“Our B&R trips were of great benefit in creating a strong sense of teamwork amongst our executives and Board members. The environment allowed us to really get to know each other—and the trip left us with a strong sense of what needed to be done to make our company better. It was also a great way to thank our key employees.”
—Big-Time Mining CEO
