You’ve heard the term travel concierge — white-glove service, exclusive access, seamless itineraries. And while we deliver all that, Black Tomato offers something more.
Unlike a traditional luxury travel concierge that manages one-off bookings or last-minute reservations, we design and oversee entire journeys — from the first spark of inspiration to your final day on the ground, ensuring that every moment fits together beautifully; connecting you not just with places, but with the reason you travel.
We’re not set up like a travel concierge service that you’d call for one-off bookings or quick favours. Our focus is on end-to-end trip design. Drawing on our network of local experts, friends, and insiders, we pull your whole journey together – envisioning the vision, laying down the logistics, and curating the experiences. It’s a big picture made up of tiny, interlocking details.
It’s not just about convenience or perks; it’s about connection. We bring years of relationships, insider knowledge, and a design sensibility that can’t be Googled. You benefit from from relationships we’ve cultivated over decades; unlocking doors that would otherwise remain shut – or at least very hard to find.
Could you book some of this yourself? Perhaps. But you’d spend months doing what we can orchestrate, and you might miss the magic hiding in plain sight.
The ones that don’t exist until we create them; like cycling across Kenya’s Loita Hills with chef-prepared meals greeting you at your campsites; or quad-biking across the Moroccan dunes to a private festival beneath the desert skies; or a dinner party and private concert inside an Icelandic volcano.
Put another way, we don’t have a fixed menu of “money-can’t-buy” experiences; we build them around you, using connections cultivated over years and an understanding of what’s actually possible (when you know who to ask).
Our team isn’t built from a template. They’re explorers, obsessives, and travellers who’ve spent years cultivating relationships and understanding what transforms a trip from impressive to unforgettable.
“I get to help spark wanderlust for our clients and get them excited about their future adventures; while always staying in-the-know about what’s new in travel and feeding my curiosity for destinations around the world.”
“For me, this is all about getting to learn more about our travellers; understanding who they are as people and playing a role in helping them to get the most out of their travels – and the world.”
“As a Travel Expert at Black Tomato, specializing in Latin America, the Caribbean, North Africa and Oceania, I continue to bring this sense of adventure to the trips I plan for our travellers. This is about taking people far off the beaten path, and giving them the kinds of moments you never forget.”
“As a Travel Expert, I spend a lot of time talking with travellers about the places they’d like to sink roots – to get truly close to a destination, even if they’re travelling for seven short days. We’ll work together, learning what makes you tick and how you really want to see the world.”
“Black Tomato’s approach – which I execute via organising our travellers’ trip logistics in the Operations team – allows them to fully immerse themselves in a destination, learning from locals who have a genuine love for their home.”
“I make sure our trips run smoothly and that our travellers have everything they need before, during, and after they return home. Most important of all is the attention to detail, and thoughtfulness, that really makes a trip run like clockwork.”
“All the work that the operations team do is more in the background, making sure everything is perfectly tailored to each of our travellers and that each itinerary is accurate – always focusing on the smaller details that make a difference.”
The proof isn’t in what we promise – it’s in what we actually create. These are the trips that unfolded, the moments that landed, and the experiences our clients still talk about.
"The itinerary flowed seamlessly"
"In short, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish, and I’m very happy to give it a 5/5 rating. Every stage of the journey reflected careful planning, strong local partnerships, and excellent communication, both before and during the trip.
From beginning to end, I felt completely supported and well looked after. The itinerary flowed seamlessly, with the right balance of cultural immersion, relaxation, and adventure. The pacing and order of destinations worked perfectly, making the trip feel cohesive and thoughtfully designed rather than a series of separate stops."
Stephen's family visited Cambodia
"All activities were well thought out and executed"
"My wife and I had a wonderful holiday, thanks to the arrangements made by Black Tomato.
We had a great time meeting the very funny Buddhist priest, who showed us the local temple and invited us to try playing some instruments. We were greatly impressed by the skill of our sushi teacher, the distinguished chef Keisuke Sugiyama, and honored that he taught us with patience and humility."
Ramon visited Japan
"I really can't thank Black Tomato enough."
Late in the planning process I mentioned that I'm a lapsed musician. When we arrived in Orkney, there were tickets to the Folk Festival waiting for us. In the Cairngorms, our bothy lunch was accompanied by a vocalist and guitarist/fiddle player. It was gorgeous, unexpected and moving."
Louisa visited the UK
“It’s human nature to seek out a trip that nobody else has experienced, and this is where Black Tomato comes in.”
“Black Tomato has made a name for itself by pulling together expertly crafted bespoke itineraries”
“Black Tomato, a company that has already established new frontiers in one-of-a-kind itinerary creation.”
“Black Tomato are able to tailor trips to almost any interest – where the expectations are often sky-high.”
We work trip by trip. No membership, no retainer, no annual commitment. When you’re ready to travel, we’re here – and our fee is built into the experiences we create.
Yes, when it serves the journey. If a particular restaurant or performance is genuinely part of the story we’re crafting for you, we’ll make it happen. We’re interested in building complete experiences where every element – including where you eat – connects with the bigger picture.
We can, and we do. But here’s the thing: we’re just as likely to steer you somewhere unexpected that matters more, because a “fully booked” restaurant isn’t always the right restaurant. We use our access in service of the experience, not as the experience itself.
Yes, when they’re the right tool for the trip you’re taking — and as part of a wider itinerary, not in isolation. Private access opens possibilities: remote locations, custom timing, total freedom. But we recommend them because they unlock something extraordinary within a complete journey, not because they’re impressive line items. The goal is always the experience.
Always. You’ll have direct access to us throughout your journey – day and night. Behind the scenes, our team and trusted local partners are at your side, wherever in the world you travel. These on-the-ground insiders are people we’ve known, and trusted, for years – and they understand their territory like the back of their hand. For you, that means benefitting from our global oversight and superb local support wherever, and whenever, you need it.
