There are barely any useful public reviews for this kind of stuff*, if you’re looking for something at a similar price point you will need a good luxury travel agent to work with.
I would suggest that you avoid the big ones like Black Tomato or Mr&Mrs Smith, you will have a much better experience working with a boutique where you can know all the staff, and more importantly the staff will know you.
* FWIW this is something I intend to solve next year.
- bitxbitxbitcoin 5y agoDuly noted. Thanks for the advice. I would love to hear more about how you plan to solve this need!
- ryanlol 5y agoCurrently the gold standard for luxury travel reviews is the Gallivanter’s guide, it’s written by a rather old couple and reflects this. The subscription is 1000 GBP/year, this is what you get http://dolphincp.com/wp-content/uploads/GAL-100-JAN-2021-12pages-new-pdf-reduced.pdf http://dolphincp.com/wp-content/uploads/GAL-100-JAN-2021-12p... I don’t really have to explain why and how the current situation sucks, that’s self-explanatory after you see the PDF above. I want to offer the same (but better) for free, and make my money from the industry standard 10% that goes to travel agencies. If you want to talk high-end travel, or even just get a referral to a good luxury travel agent you can write me at travel@safe.im I’m more than happy to answer any questions, even if you’re just planning a trip :) (For user generated content the gold standard is the flyertalk luxury section, but this requires a lot of reading to get into. Tripadvisor is completely full of fake reviews)
