😠 Phoned to enquire about a trip to Denmark and Greenland. The girl very soon asked about budget and informed me that a week in Denmark alone would be a minimum of 5k per person, EXCLUDING flights - a fact she kept stressing. I got the impression this is a company only for the super rich and ended up... People often mention Black, Tomato, trip, recommend, travel, experience, team, honeymoon, incredible, trips,

    Phoned to enquire about a trip to Denmark and Greenland. The girl very soon asked about budget and informed me that a week in Denmark alone would be a minimum of 5k per person, EXCLUDING flights - a fact she kept stressing. I got the impression this is a company only for the super rich and ended up feeling rather stupid for calling them. We're not averse to spending large amounts of money on holidays, and usually get our holidays tailor-made, but 10k for a week in Denmark?! Really?!?

    If you truly want a vacation that is hassle free and go to places you would never find,, Use Black Tomato!.. Our travel coordinator was Alys,,, she was fantastic... we had a couple of conference calls so that she could customize our trip to Northwest Italy. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. Black Tomato arranged everything, and it was truly hassle free. They set up the boat tours on Lakes Como and Orta, Hikes in the surrounding mountains, several wine and cheese tastings, ( the tasting in La Morra was done by the owner!) . They arranged all the transportation with very professional drivers, and very nice equipment. We truffle hunted in the Alba area. Spent 3 days on the Italian riviera, They even arranged for me to drive a vintage Alfa Romero for a day of touring. Truly a first class outfit, and highly recommended. Dan from Michigan

    We just returned from a luxury tour of Egypt arranged by Black Tomato. We are experienced travelers and prefer private, higher end tours. This was our first time using Black Tomato, and based on our experience will not be our last. What a great, memorable trip! From the high quality of our Egyptologist guide, tour coordinators, and drivers, excellent quality of accommodations, and seamless service to really special access experiences (archeological dig at Saqqara and Sphinx access), Black Tomato hit it out of the park.

    How do I begin to share how much joy the Black Tomato team brought us as we traveled in Argentina and Chile?! It was our 50th anniversary trip and it lived up to all our expectations. Tom with BT planned little surprises for us at each of our locations, the guides went out of their way to get to know us and plan daily activities that showed us the beauty of the country, the people and the culture, and we loved all the accommodations. Our final stop was in the Atacama Desert in Chile and it was the best ending to a trip of a lifetime…tough (high altitudes) but oh, so beautiful! Thank you BT team for all that you did to make our trip a reality that will never be forgotten!. We are already telling friends and family about your fabulous services!

    We used Black Tomato to plan our last minute honeymoon and had an incredible experience. 2 weeks before our wedding and honeymoon, they immediately came up with an itinerary of our dreams. They knew exactly what we wanted and had an itinerary after just a couple of quick conversations. It was one of the best trips of our lives and they anticipated every detail based on our preferences.

    Black Tomato planned our recent trip to Italy and we were blown away by their wealth of knowledge. They made everything so seamless and hassle free on our end. This was by far the best vacation we have ever had!!

  • 5/5 Janet B. 7 months ago on Google
    Having traveled a lot. And having used other higher-end agencies, we can say unequivocally that Black Tomato was the best experience we have had. From initial contact through to the last day of our Croatia/Montenegro trip the care and attention to detail was outstanding. We cannot recommend them enough.

    We have used BT for 2 trips- one was a private trip to Peru and the other for a family getaway to Italy. Both trips were beyond our expectations. Carly was amazing to work with and really did a great job customizing the activities and pace to our interests. On our Italy trip we had a variety of ages and the mix of agenda items was spot-on. The local guides we had in both countries were spectacular and very helpful, even when we had some last minute requests. Highly recommend Carly and the Black Tomato team- we will definitely be traveling with them again. Thank you!!

    Black Tomato is fantastic. Thanks to them, I and my brother enjoyed a wonderful trip to Los Angeles this summer. My requests were detailed and they were all completely satisfied. They were always helpful and planning our trip was a delight. I am definitely sure that I will soon be travelling again with Black Tomato.

  • 5/5 Mark S. 5 months ago on Google
    We have used Black Tomato a number of times now to design and tailor incredible experiences around the world. They are friendly, helpful people who are dedicated to ensuring their clients have the trip of a lifetime - every time. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Michele R. 7 months ago on Google
    Luca at Black Tomato put together an incredible itinerary for my trip to Zambia and I had an amazing time. Each camp and lodge was exactly what I had hoped for -- beautiful settings, emphasis on sustainability and being close to nature, and gracious and knowledgeable staff and guides. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, although I suspect I will be making a return visit to Zambia in the not too distant future. I cannot recommend Black Tomato more highly and I will definitely use them again for my next adventure!

    We just returned from our first Black Tomato trip experience and we couldn't be more pleased. Harriet and her team planned everything exceptionally while being very attentive to our preferences & desires. All arrangements from hotels, local transit, excursions, to dinner reservations were above expectations with superior levels of services. We're extremely pleased with Black Tomato and look forward to working with them on future trips. Our new "go to" travel professionals!

    Black Tomato created an amazing, seamless trip to Swedish Lapland for us. Fabulous local tour guides helped us see the Northern Lights, snowmobile, fish for arctic char (that our resort then prepared for our lunch!), and visit the Arctic Circle. Highly recommend Black Tomato's help in planning an adventurous family-friendly vacation.

    Black Tomato is the best travel service I have ever worked with and I have been around the world! My trip to Cuba was perfectly curated to include exactly the types of activities my husband and I are interested in. Rob not only took the time to "interview" me on our hopes for the trip but then iterated the trip several times through emails to hit just the right cadence and variety. We spent private time with dancers, artists, and musicians in addition to experiencing wonderful walking tours and hikes. The selection of boutique hotels and top level restaurants was spot on. Thank you Black Tomato for an unforgettable trip.

    Black Tomato is a premiere travel agency - was looking to go on a 5-star trip without the hassle of dealing with booking excursions transportation etc. They really took care of everything with a mix of local experts and a contact person. Would recommend to others looking to get a tailored experience and have great memories with booking support!

  • 5/5 Maren H. 1 year ago on Google
    We used Black Tomato to plan our honeymoon to Croatia and Montenegro, and were SO glad that we did! Alys and her team were incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, which we appreciated given changing COVID restrictions / travel restrictions in Europe. All of the tours Black Tomato put together for us were spot on, and we loved all of our hotels, guides, and drivers. The entire experience felt highly curated to us and we would 100% recommend working with Black Tomato!

    I had a great trip in Borneo's jungle, thanks to Black Tomato and especially Jihane and her clear advices. The trip she organised went perfectly, with nice locations to visit, great hotels and a touch of adventure. I really felt special. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Theresa N. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the most wonderful vacation to Kenya & Zimbabwe, all arranged by Luca. Every camp, hotel and experience he recommended more than lived up to our expectations (and we have travelled extensively to Africa). Thanks Luca! We would definitely use Black Tomato again.

  • 5/5 Jessica L. 1 year ago on Google
    Black Tomato recently planned our vacation in Napa and it was nothing short of phenomenal. Accommodations, activities and transportation were all personalized and first class. Communication with their team was clear and easy. It was truly one of the best trips we have ever taken and we are already planning our next trip with them. Highly recommend Black Tomato!

  • 5/5 Amy C. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't say enough good things about Black Tomato. My husband and I had the trip of a lifetime. From start to finish, everything was perfect. We can't wait to plan another trip with Black Tomato!

  • 5/5 Gumersindo O. 1 year ago on Google
    Black Tomato organized a wonderful walking trip in Scotland for our group of friends. Dan, our hiking guide was fantastic and fun and sorted out issues quickly as they came up. We walked through very different kinds of scenery, glens, munros, woods, riverbeds, etc. The hotels and restaurants were very good. A memorable experience.

  • 5/5 William D. 1 year ago on Google
    Black Tomato did an incredible job working with me and my wife as we planned our dream honeymoon. Despite all of the uncertainty in international travel caused by COVID, Jihane and team was with us every step of the way to remove any potential stress. Our trip to Italy and Greece was perfect from beginning to end, and we look forward to using their services again for our next trip! Can't recommend them enough.

  • 5/5 Colton P. 1 year ago on Google
    I first enlisted the help of Black Tomato with narrowing the scope of where my wife & I would like to go on our honeymoon. They helped immensely deciding between very different types of trips. We ultimately settled on a safari & beach trip. Luca Fella put together an incredible trip to the Mara Triangle in Kenya and the Seychelles. Communication and payment were very easy. A month before our trip Luca ensured we had all the information necessary to obtain entry visas and up-to-date COVID entry requirements. The trip itself went off without any problems! The itinerary was incredible and my wife & I were blown away at the accommodations. I highly recommend Black Tomato for travel planning and will be using them for international travel in the future!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth F. 6 years ago on Google
    Black Tomato was remarkably thorough from the moment that I enquired to the moment I returned from my honeymoon with them. Our travel expert, Alys, was attentive, thoughtful and went out of her way to make us feel important. We had such a special experience. Would absolutely use them again in the future. Thanks Alys & Black Tomato team!

  • 5/5 Angela S. 4 years ago on Google
    We have travelled many times with Black Tomato and they have always exceeded our high expectations. Sri Lanka, South Africa and New Zealand, to name but a few of the destinations we have visited and on each trip the special touches and attention to detail have certainly helped make our dreams come true. Thank you to all the team at Black Tomato, here's to the next adventure.

  • 5/5 James W. 6 years ago on Google
    Black Tomato were brilliant; from the moment we got in touch to the moment we touched down at home and received a special welcome home package. Out trip to India was flawless and we had some incredible experiences that will last a life time. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Ian S. 4 years ago on Google
    We first found Black Tomato in 2010 and had the trip of a lifetime to South Africa, or so we thought . Every subsequent trip to places including Sri Lanka, California and this year Morocco - an amazing destination suggested by Black Tomato - have been fantastic. Black Tomato think of everything and take all the stress away. Looking forward to Australia & New Zealand in 2020. We know we are in very capable hands.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth R. 4 years ago on Google
    The most amazing holiday adventure my husband and I could have ask for. From the moment we got in touch with BT to help plan our honeymoon, until after we had returned to the UK - Thank to you to all of you. It was the first of many more BT trips! The company has been a wonderful & unique find.

  • 5/5 Gerard F. 7 years ago on Google
    We've just returned from our amazing honeymoon in Cambodia and Vietnam. Black Tomato were superb throughout the whole process. The service is second to none! Everything was planned perfectly - I have a nut allergy and absolutely all staff throughout the trip were made aware. Our guides were excellent. Would highly recommend Black Tomato for any special occasion trips you have in mind.

  • 5/5 Adam S. 4 years ago on Google
    We travelled with Black Tomato as a family to Portugal in 2019 and from the initial phone call to discuss the trip to arriving at our villa I could not fault them at all. Their attention to detail when travelling with children was very impressive and the resort they chose for us ticked every box. We are using Black Tomato once again in 2020 for our trip to Mexico! Can't wait!!!
