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.

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

Ways to wander
Every journey, designed around you
Five ways to travel, each tailored to the way you want to experience the world.

The world in good company. Intimate groups or grand tours, the cost shared and the planning handled.
03
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.
