The Art of Travel Design: Why a Bespoke Travel Designer Elevates your Journey

When it comes to planning luxury travel, no two travelers are the same – and no two itineraries should be either. At G/Hardy Tours, we believe travel should be as unique as you are. That’s why we don’t sell pre-made vacation packages. Instead, we design journeys.

Think of us as your personal architect for travel. From the first conversation to your safe return home, every detail is built around your personality, preferences, budget, and travel style.

What Sets G/Hardy Tours Apart

As a luxury bespoke travel agency, we go beyond typical trip planning. Our seasoned travel designers bring decades of firsthand experience and global expertise to every itinerary. We’ve personally visited and vetted the destinations, hotels, and experiences we recommend. Whether it’s a luxury hotel in Sicily, a secluded beach villa in Thailand, or a traditional riad in Morocco, we’ve been there.

We leverage:
  • A curated global supplier network
  • Exclusive partnerships and VIP perks
  • Local in-destination support 24/7
  • Elevated access to immersive experiences

From arranging the perfect accommodations to coordinating international security or securing a top private guide, we handle every logistic so you can focus on the experience.

This isn’t just a trip. It’s your trip – designed with care, shaped by experience, and built around what matters most to you.

Destination Spotlight: Where Luxury Meets Personalization

Sicily: Sun Drenched Culture & Culinary Bliss

With year-round sunshine and cinematic landscapes, Sicily is ideal for both peak and off-season luxury escapes. Coastal villages and baroque towns offer postcard-perfect charm with far fewer crowds – especially outside of summer. As seen in The White Lotus, this island is the ultimate mix of history, indulgence, and romance.

Our in-house wine expert, Bryan Bonnah, just returned from Sicily where he personally inspected top luxury hotels, wine estates, and culinary experiences. From private wine tastings on Mount Etna to Michelin-starred seafood meals along the coast, we’ll craft a personalized Sicilian itinerary around your tastes and travel goals.

Thailand: Culture, Wellness, & VIP Access

Beautiful, vibrant, and full of wonder, Thailand is a destination that blends spiritual depth with luxury comforts. Whether you’re exploring ancient temples in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, relaxing on a private beach in Phuket, or visiting an Elephant Jungle Sanctuary (a favorite of George Hardy himself!), Thailand offers something unforgettable for every traveler.

With G/Hardy Tours, you’ll enjoy:
  • Private drivers and luxury accommodations

  • Curated excursions and insider access

  • Seamless door-to-door service

Let us take care of every detail, so you can focus on enjoying Thailand’s beauty and culture,  stress-free.

Morocco: Arabian Allure with European Comfort

From the colorful souks of Marrakech to the calm of the Sahara, Morocco offers a diverse and immersive travel experience that feels a world away – but with all the comfort of modern luxury. Whether you’re into design-forward riads, remote desert camps, or buzzing medinas, your travel style is key to building the perfect Moroccan journey.

Recently returned from Morocco, Melina Mancini has personally inspected a collection of the country’s top riads, hotels, and cultural experiences. Her insight ensures that your trip reflects the real Morocco – with the guidance of a local expert and the polish of a luxury vacation.

Bonus? Morocco delivers high-end travel at a fraction of the cost of Europe.
