 About Me

Toby IvesMy love of travel started when I spent a semester of college backpacking through Europe and then studying in London. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled to many destinations all over the globe. My travels have taken me to Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, Israel, Jordan, China, Tahiti, many countries in Europe, Canada, and the Caribbean.  

In my many years of experience, I have had the privilege of planning some exceptional trips for my clients. I love to spend time getting to know my clients, their needs, and expectations. I take all that information and will plan the perfect vacation to be the experience of a lifetime or a simple trip to sit by the pool and relax. I utilize the global connections I’ve made throughout my travels provide the travel logistics as well as VIP perks and benefits.  I have planned some amazing experiences for my clients such as an after-hours tour of the Vatican, cooking classes, Sydney bridge climb and safaris in Africa to name just a few. 

One of my favorite destinations, New Zealand, has some of the most breathtaking natural scenery in the world. Australia and Kenya are close seconds. I also adore adventure travel and have skied all over the world.

What My Clients Say
Toby, We are back from our trip and wanted to thank you for your help and give you our recommendations for your future client's. Great trip with great weather the entire trip. I would recommend the Sea Cloud Cruises as A-plus in all categories. More like a boutique hotel on water with great service, attitude, and food. We did eat supper at Il San Pietro at Zass in Positano which you recommended to stay as a five-star hotel. Truly a five-star hotel and Zass was amazing.
