Travel that wows

Bespoke luxury journeys, designed by Tammy Jones-Deem, a Virtuoso advisor who has spent forty years going everywhere.

Where shall we begin

What kind of journey are you after?

One-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime travel does not have to be a puzzle to plan. Tell Tammy the feeling you are after, and she will shape the rest.

Why use an advisor

You can book a trip from your phone. But should you?

Booking is easy. Designing a journey you will still be talking about years later is something else entirely. That is where a Virtuoso advisor earns her keep.

i.

See the world anew

Tammy has been where you want to go. Expect places you had not considered, and fresh ways to love the ones you already know.

ii.

The details, handled

The view from the right room. The guide who knows where the cheetahs rest at dusk. The small things, settled before you ask.

iii.

Help when it counts

When a plan falls apart far from home, you have a person, not a call center. Tammy knows who to call, and she fixes it.

Meet Tammy

I realized early in life how much the world has to offer, and I have spent the years since proving it true.

My favorites still surprise me: New Zealand, Africa, the United Kingdom. There is no one perfect place, because the world is full of them. My Virtuoso membership, through Largay Travel, opens doors that brochures cannot: the contacts, the access, and the knowledge that turn a good trip into the one you remember.

In 2013 I opened my own office and made a promise. I would never advertise or market myself, because I have been lucky enough to have a circle of travelers I am proud to call friends. New clients still arrive the same way, by a friend leaning over at dinner and saying you have to call my travel person.

planning process

Connect & Begin

We start with a conversation. You tell Tammy where your heart is pointed, who is coming, and what would make the trip feel like yours. No request is too particular.

01
02

Consult & Design

Tammy designs the journey, top to bottom. The right rooms, the right timing, the experiences worth your while, and the Virtuoso perks layered in along the way.

Book & Manage

Flights, hotels, transfers, guides, and reservations, all handled and watched. If something shifts, Tammy adjusts it before it becomes your problem.

03
04

Escape & Savor

You go, with a person on call the whole way. You come home with the memories, more precious than the time, that you keep for a lifetime.

Ways to wander

Every journey, designed around you

Five ways to travel, each tailored to the way you want to experience the world.

01

Fully Independent Touring

Yours to shape, hour by hour, with private guides and a car at your beck and call. Free to stay where you land, or planned to the last sunset.

Escorted Touring

The world in good company. Intimate groups or grand tours, the cost shared and the planning handled.

Multi-Generational

From a beach to the back of an elephant, the trips that become family history.

Romance

Honeymoon, anniversary, or simply a reason to reconnect. A hammock over the sea, or dinner under the stars.

Business & Beyond

A trip that is not all work. The right show, the right table, the museum you would have missed.
