Black Tomato

Tom Marchant, James Merrett, and Matt Smith met in the late 1990s and wanted to create a travel business that was unlike any other on the market. Rather than asking you where you want to go, they ask “how do you want to feel?” Whether it’s inspiration, a digital detox, or relaxation that you seek, Black Tomato experiences are unlike any other ordinary vacation.

What Makes Black Tomato Stand Out?

• Unique and tailored travel tours
• Attention to detail and high quality service
• Travel beyond the classics
• Fully customizable tours and itineraries

Black Tomato has every experience possible - going far beyond what you could ever imagine. Disconnect from everything (and perhaps everyone) as you get dropped off into the middle of nowhere, or get business inspiration from Viking descendants on a Black Tomato Iceland trip.

Who Will Enjoy Traveling With Black Tomato?

• All ages
• Standard to luxury travelers
• All physical levels

Travelers who are looking for something special, or simply want their vacation to be the absolute best, will seriously love traveling with Black Tomato. There is something for every age, every group size, family, and couple to enjoy. They cater to your budget, with $2,000USD being the starting price, however, in order to enjoy their most unique packages, it certainly won’t come cheap.

However, if you prefer a more traditional tour with the classic activities and sights, or you’re working with a shoestring budget, Black Tomato probably isn’t the best fit for you.

Top Destinations

• All around the world

Black Tomato travels all around the world - to every country imaginable. Even if a place isn’t on the list, they’ll take you there. You can travel to some of the most remote corners of the world, or experience the absolute best that a destination has to offer.

Black Tomato Travel Style

They may be a luxury tour company, but they still believe that it’s about connecting with the people and places more than Michelin-starred restaurants. No matter why you’re traveling - to relax, to be inspired, to eat… - they will find something just for you.

Accommodations and meals all vary widely, depending on your budget, idea, and destination. One thing is for sure though - accommodations are far from ordinary. Disconnect from everything and sleep in a tent in the middle of the desert, or stay with a local nomadic family in Mongolia.

Black Tomato is also incredibly accommodating towards requests for privacy - private hotels, private flights, remote islands, exclusive access - you name it, they’ll make it happen!

To book a trip with them, you tell them where you want to go and how you want to feel - Inspired? Energized? Creative? Disconnected? - once the destination is decided, you are wired to their local contacts and they build an initial proposal. You are welcome to tweak it as much and as many times as you like until you are 110% satisfied with the plan.
