Accolades
There is nothing standard about what Tom does; it is always above and beyond. As a Trip Designer, Tom planned the most magical trip to Nepal for us, made possible because of the volume of his inside knowledge. The trip suited us perfectly. And as a guide, he has the maturity to share a kaleidoscope of views, geography, and historic importance. Layers of knowledge and experience ooze from Tom over the course of a trip, enhancing every minute on the road.
- Jan and Brad, Seattle, WAWe were lucky enough to have Tom as our guide on an amazing visit to Bhutan and did not hesitate to ask him to design a Bespoke five-country trip to southern Africa. His understanding of our needs, deep knowledge of the destinations and passionate commitment to creating a very special experience are truly awesome! And his relationships with local experts on the ground enabled him to create an itinerary that was, quite simply, unique.
