The Tully Difference

Home > England

England - Private Travel

With storied castles, elegant guest estates, famous centuries-old buildings, priceless works of art and an equally priceless sense of humour, England is so easy to love.

Plan in advance for two or more luxury tips here – or stay for a whole month. England unfolds over time, each visit more enriching.

England is so full of history, so dense with natural beauty, so alive with urban sophistication, so deep with tradition and learning. With everything from simple afternoon tea in a manor home to epic day tours to some of the most treasured landmarks, England truly hits all the heritage high notes. The centre of music, fashion, culture and finance, London beckons with its historic landmarks, important museums, incredible dining and cultural icons. Drink in the Thames River walks, the Tate Modern and the Victoria and Albert museums, Buckingham Palace, the stages of the West End. Venturing out into the countryside, a tour along the south coast can take in the nostalgic resort towns of Bournemouth and Torquay, the cruise ports of Southampton and Plymouth, the counties of Cornwall and Devon. Maybe the Lake District and Cotswolds cottage country are calling your name? Brighton and the beach, Liverpool and The Beatles, Bath and its thermal waters, and Manchester, where Rolls met Royce – all yield incredible adventure packed with charm, a quirkiness only the English can muster, and more than 1,000 years of history through ancient castles and medieval cathedrals.

Adult Only Holidays

Sometimes to really let your hair down and relax, an adult only holiday is the only option. This might mean a complete adult only experience, or somewhere with an adult only zone.

UK Holidays

Affectionately called a ‘staycation’, a UK Holiday can provide you with an excellent change of scenery, and wonderful sense of adventure, as well as renewing your love for this island we call home.

Ski Holidays

Part of the excitement of going on a skiing or snowboarding holiday is in the planning of where to go and where to stay. No ski resort is ever the same, and finding the one that ticks all the boxes on the mountain is something we’ve perfected.

15-Day Trip

Florida is the perfect retreat for a little rest and relaxation, saying that it’s perfect for those with an adventurous spirit! This sunshine state offers exceptional shopping opportunities, exciting nightlife and some wonderful beaches.

From the magnificent Roman monuments, such as the Colosseum and the Pantheon, with its amazing domed roof still perfectly intact, to ‘la dolce vita’ of the swish Via Veneto, Rome has so much to fascinate.

The land of a thousand smiles, Thailand boasts an enchanting combination of some of the world’s finest beaches, awe-inspiring landscapes and a fabulous array of bceach hotels and luxury resorts.

Stray from the beach resorts and Thailand delivers a rich cultural history. The spiritual reverence of countless monasteries, pagodas and temples of Bangkok and Chiang Mai is a particularly remarked upon experience.

Fantastic Family Holiday Full Of Great Memories

“Our holiday was simply outstanding! This is the second time that we have booked with Dragonfly Traveller to organise our girls trip, and once again it couldn’t have gone better! All of us agreed how amazingly well organised everything was, from the airport to the hotel, which made it the most stress free holiday ever, thanks to Rob and Lisa. We had an incredible time in both Berlin and Krakow, and it is safe to say we can’t wait to book our next holiday with them!!”

Our guide to luxury travel

Luxury holidays are personal. They mean something different for each and every one of us. For some, luxury is hiking in peaceful solitude through a remote corner of the desert, while for others it’s the indulgence of sipping cocktails aboard a private yacht, sailing gently through the Mediterranean. Whatever floats your boat, so to speak.

Our team of seasoned travellers are connoisseurs of luxury, curating unparalleled experiences, tailor-made tours and bespoke adventures. Whether you seek the opulence of a secluded villa in the Tuscan hills or the thrill of an exclusive safari in the heart of Africa, we’ll craft a journey that exceeds your expectations.

Travel specialists have never been more essential than they are right now, with their invaluable ability to pivot, re-book and offer advice. We picked 10 standouts in the luxury field from across the world, a directory of those who embody that above-and-beyond spirit essential in the past year.

Christoper Sitwell, Cazenove + Loyd

Wilmot-Sitwell has been working in travel for more than three decades. The co-owner of a 16-person London-based agency specializes in long-haul luxury, often to far-flung sites in rural Africa and Asia. The team there spent much of 2020 canceling or postponing trips—most recently, unpicking rescheduled itineraries to the Tokyo Olympics when a ban on foreign spectators was announced.

The firm anticipated today’s conscious-travel concerns from the outset, always focusing on owner-run and locally staffed independent operations, such as preservation outfit Campfire in Zimbabwe. Cazenove + Loyd also offsets the entire carbon cost of its research recces via a partnership with CommuniTree , a 12-square-mile tropical reforestation project in Nicaragua. Clients can easily opt into this, too; anyone whose itinerary swoops through the country can visit the project and personally plant the trees.

Tanya Dalton, Managing Director UK, Greaves

Dalton leads the UK office of this India specialist outfitter, which was founded by her Mumbai-born grandfather in 1978 and later run by her mother. With generations’ worth of in-depth experience and exclusive connections at her fingertips, she arranges custom trips as luxe as they are immersive. Depending on their interests, travelers may find themselves granted entrée to private palaces, sacred religious sites and landmarked government buildings; meeting with celebrated curators, authors, artisans, jewelers, chefs or astrologers; or exploring desert wilds while staying at plush mobile camps.

Dalton’s team—45 in Delhi and Mumbai, and 15 in the UK—helped extract some 40 clients from India at the start of the pandemic, as borders closed. Now she’s helping guests plan their return. On her radar currently are safaris to spot India’s rising tiger population, top-end hotel openings in Rajasthan and a new single-suite wooden boat that’s perfect for privately cruising the Ganges, Bhagirathi and Hooghly Rivers.

Jules Maury, Scott Dunn Private

Maury runs this offshoot of the UK-based travel firm, focused entirely on bespoke itineraries. Much of her work during the pandemic involved extended stays for home-schooling families who were looking to live and work in a new locale, whether spending two and a half months at Gili Lankanfushi in the Maldives or a month in residence at Antigua’s Jumby Bay. Another guest commandeered the five-room Sheldon Chalet in Denali National Park, an ultra-secluded property accessible only by a 45-minute helicopter ride.

The SDP team follows multiple pro-social protocols when it travels and encourages clients to follow suit, including the Pack for a Purpose program, in which visitors pack requested supplies in their luggage for distribution at the destination. It’s laser-focused on ethical practices, too. Animal welfare is a priority, so providers that offer bullfighting or elephant riding are not used, and there’s a pledge that 90 percent of all operators will not provide single-use plastics to guests by the end of 2023.

Deborah Calmeyer, Roar Africa

The Zimbabwe-born Calmeyer has carved out a discrete niche as the ultimate elite safari planner, with the ability to pull off near-impossible requests, even during the pandemic. Rwanda’s government requires a negative PCR Covid-19 test for visitors, but offers only the throat-swab version at Kigali airport—a problem for one Roar Africa client, desperate to go gorilla-trekking but phobic about anything touching his throat. Calmeyer set up a protocol change, arranging for a nose swab to be administered instead.

She has offices in Nairobi, Johannesburg and Cape Town, with the HQ in New York, and Roar Africa continued to pay drivers, freelance guides and its staff even during lockdown, as governmental support in situ was scant. Roar Africa supports several social programs, including an all-women anti-poaching academy in Kenya, which has so far graduated almost 30 fully trained rangers, and underwrites a scholarship at a college of tourism in South Africa that trains women to work at local hotels and lodges.

Catherine Heald, Remote Lands

Remote Lands’ expertise centers entirely on planning ultra-luxury trips for Americans to Asia, with offices in New York and Bangkok, plus country managers in every locale.

Heald and business partner Jay Tindall try to ensure a positive impression both for their guests and by them, encouraging clients, for example, to fund the digging of a water well for a local family whenever Siem Reap in Cambodia forms part of the itinerary. Conscious of the higher carbon footprint of itineraries that span the continent, the pair deliberately minimize the number of flights, private or commercial.

Last year, a Texas couple who were planning to go solo to Asia to celebrate both his 70th birthday and their 40th wedding anniversary had to postpone, and instead Heald helped them turn their three-week, four-country trip into a reunion with their grandchildren, whom they plan to take along this November.

Beks Ndlovu, Founder of African Bush Camps

Ndlovu has maintained momentum, despite the safari industry’s devastating year. The operator and hotelier kept his entire 600-person staff employed while also unveiling Khwai Leadwood, a new high-design lodge in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. It’s the latest in his eco-conscious properties; he has rolled out 16 of them in 15 years across three countries, a remarkable achievement. Each has a light footprint, via solar farms and water recycling, while also offering direct support to surrounding communities via the company’s ABC Foundation.

Even amid the logistical and medical constraints of the past year, Ndlovu seamlessly pulled off a recent journey for 14 people to Zimbabwe via private plane. “There was a lot of juggling, but it was well worth it,” says Ndlovu, who advocates for guests to spend their tourism dollars with brands that preserve wilderness areas and empower minorities and locals. “We continue to make the effort in identifying key talent that we can support and help rise to the surface.”

Cedric Reversade, Unique Properties & Events

Luxury travel was already tilting toward villa rentals before the pandemic made the idea of privacy, and self-containment, even more appealing. The London- and Paris-based Reversade and business partner Koskas offer discreet access to the world’s best rental homes in hot spots like Saint-Tropez, Ibiza and Capri while also acting as a travel concierge.

Take the California client who had bought a piano nobile on the Grand Canal in Venice, just before the first lockdown—and for whom they managed to secure a visa even when borders were shut. They also arranged excursions in the city, like a day on Burano with the glassblowers and a night visit to San Marco. Or the polo-loving English client who ditched her Chelsea townhouse for a seafront estate in Ibiza they’d wrangled on her behalf as lockdowns loomed; she then took trips around Spain, including lunching with a retired rejoneador from whom she bought two horses to ride at her country estate.

Cari Gray, Gray & Co.

Based in Santa Monica, Calif., Canadian expat Gray runs a lean team of about 10 with a particular expertise in active luxury. Take the trip to Argentina and Uruguay which shuttled her guests between cycling spots by private jet. It was due to start just as Argentina shuttered its borders last March, so Gray’s team pivoted, re-booking the group on a similar itinerary in California within 24 hours.

She’s determined that the lavish sums spent by clients truly uplift every destination, especially in developing areas. One pair of travelers sponsored GPS collars on a research project for rescued elephants at a local animal reserve in Namibia and witnessed the process firsthand. And an always recommended pit stop in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco is one of the late Eve Branson’s projects, which employs local women making crafts. It isn’t all do-gooding, though: Gray is renowned for arranging Michelin-caliber chefs to cater alfresco at the end of a day’s hiking.

James Jayasundera, Ampersand Travel

Sri Lanka is one of the rare destinations in Asia that have managed to create a program that allows visitors to experience the country during the pandemic, and no one is a better expert to help navigate an itinerary in that new normal than Rome-raised Jayasundera and his five-person, almost two-decade-old firm. Visitors can stay in designated hotels, he explains, and even go sightseeing, as long as they remain in “bio bubbles” to protect the local populace from imported infection.

Jayasundera started early, noting the preferences of each of his 12-strong family as they traveled constantly in his childhood, and has made such attention to detail a hallmark of his commercial operation. Inclusivity is a longtime passion, with a strong presence in the LGBTQ community among both staff and clients, and efforts to use female guides where possible to offset challenges around equality.

Mark Duguid, Carrier

The 60-person, Manchester-based Carrier plans less than 5,000 trips per year, allowing it to retain a reputation for flexibility. It’s willing to change itineraries within hours of departure and never charging amending fees. Duguid and his team were well placed, then, for the challenges of last year: See the couple from the UK who seized the chance to travel when permitted during a break in lockdowns, heading impromptu to the Maldives as an add-on to a last-minute visit to Dubai. Carrier recognized the appeal of the outdoors for travelers in the last year, too, and created an exclusive trip to Octola in Finland’s Arctic Circle, a five-star private wilderness reserve where local guides hosted open-fire lunches and ran excursions on husky sleds and snowmobiles.

Duguid reports a surge in so-called revenge spending, noting that the average booking value for 2021 has risen 90 percent year over year, with clients indulging in once-in-a-lifetime trips after lockdown restrictions loosen.

With over 20 years experience in the luxury travel industry working for one of the UK’s top luxury tour operators and leading hotel representation companies, I saw an opportunity to launch an independent bespoke travel agency focusing on my strong values for genuine relationships and personal service.

I take the time to get to know you personally so I can exceed your expectations and take care of the finer details from restaurant, spa and kids club reservations to organising the best private guides ensuring you get the most out of every trip.  I am independent so I can be available anytime, meet anywhere and handle each enquiry and booking with the utmost care and professionalism.

I LIVE AND BREATHE TRAVEL

From childhood family holidays in the Med to backpacking through Malaysia and Thailand before working ski seasons in the French Alps, travel has always been a huge part of my life. West Indian family connections lead to a love of the Caribbean – there aren’t many islands left to tick off the list! In more recent years my choice of holiday has to suit my water sports fanatic husband Tim, two active children Holly and George and of course some R&R for me too.

From my bijou home office in Cheshire, I am constantly finding new ways to keep up to speed with what’s new in the world of travel; from the hottest destinations, latest hotel openings and ‘must do’ unique experiences. It’s all very well studying the travel press but nothing beats actually living the dream and being able to make personal recommendations so visiting all of these wonderful places is high on the agenda and all part of the job!

Check out my Travel Journal for inspiration and to see where I’ve been most recently.

MY FAVOURITE PLACES

I am often asked, ‘where is your favourite place in the world’  if i have to name my top four, italy, the french alps, muscat and mustique make the cut, all for different reasons;.

This picture-perfect fishing village on the Italian Riviera enchants visitors with its pastel-coloured houses, high-end boutiques and seafood restaurants dotted around the small cobbled square facing the harbour lined with super-yachts. Take a day trip to La Cinque Terra or make the climb to Castello Brown, there’s only one place to stay here, the Hotel Splendido – elegantly perched on the hillside overlooking the bay of Portofino.  Think people watching, long lazy lunches and bathing under the balmy Italian sun by the salt water pool.

Les Trois Valles

One of the best ski areas in Europe with a superb range of affordable and luxury accommodation. Ski all day, indulge in fine French cuisine and wine and party into the early hours, the après ski is as good as the snow skiing. For a luxury central pad to rest your aching limbs after a long day on the slopes, Le Kaila hotel is located right next to the main lift station and caters for adults and children with modern Alpine interiors and delicious cuisine. Go in March – soft snow and sun!

Drive up to the mountains to take in a magical sunset, spend a night in a Bedouin tent in the desert, visit one of the beautiful mosques or bustling markets or enjoy a sunset cruise on a Dhow – a traditional Omani sailing boat. Stay at The Chedi – with hugely spacious suites, superior service and a state of the art spa and infinity lap pool, you don’t need to leave this dreamy hotel, but there is so much to see in Muscat and it’s perfect for a bit of winter sun.

Understated luxury at its best! Mustique is a pristine private island with a choice of individual private villas and boutique hotels such as the renowned Cotton House. The beautifully appointed rooms and suites here are dotted around pretty manicured gardens, many with Caribbean Sea views. Mustique highlights include dinner and dancing at Basil’s Bar, playing cricket and frolicking in the surf followed by a lobster BBQ at Macaroni Beach.  You might even meet Mick Jagger’s dog or the man himself!
