A more considered way to see the world.
Aiden & Ivy was founded on a simple belief: extraordinary travel should never require compromise. We consider what is worth your time, anticipate what you should never have to think about, and manage the details behind the scenes so you can be fully present for what brought you there.
We work with a limited number of clients each year, allowing us to develop a deep understanding of what makes each journey meaningful, and advocate on your behalf through trusted global relationships.
From restorative escapes to cosmopolitan sojourns and destination weddings, every decision is considered through the lens of what matters to you, while remaining mindful of the places and communities that make travel possible.
Preferred Partners
what makes us different:
Aiden & Ivy operates as an elite partner within the global Embark Beyond and Virtuoso networks. Through our network of trusted partners, we advocate for you before you arrive and throughout your journey, from thoughtful recognition and preferred access to the details that make an experience distinctly yours.
Our network is built on relationships with the world's leading ultra-luxury hotels, private estates, conservation pioneers, and elite destination specialists. These longstanding partnerships allow us to deliver complex, high-concept experiences, opening doors to experiences and opportunities that are often unavailable through traditional channels.
While Europe, Latin America, and Australia remain our areas of deepest expertise, our reach is truly global. Shop for textiles with local weavers in Cusco, forage for wild botanicals in a historic Cotswolds garden kitchen, or attend a conservation-led safari in Botswana. Every Aiden & Ivy relationship brings you closer to the people and places worth knowing.
For destination weddings and milestone celebrations, the stakes are high and every detail matters. Our partnerships within the Virtuoso network offer meaningful recognition, and priority access to accommodations and excursions that cannot be booked online or purchased outright.
Every detail is completely handled so that you can enjoy every moment.

Lydia did an amazing job helping me and my wife plan a wonderful destination wedding in Italy. She took care of our entire family and was on top of everything. She was extremely helpful and went above our expectations to make sure we had the most magical experience. I was very impressed with her knowledge and creativity in putting together different events and activities that we didn't originally think of, which became some of the most memorable parts of our trip.
If you want the perfect experience—the one that's laid out uniquely for you, where every minute of your trip is thought out, and every detail is completely handled so that you can enjoy every moment—then you want Lydia to plan your trip!
What I appreciated most was how she truly advocated for me and always had my best interests in mind.

Working with Lydia was fabulous. She listened to our hopes and came back with an itinerary full of exciting things. Things I would have never dreamed of! She is very detail-oriented and kept everything on track for us. The guides were so professional. They were wonderful to spend time with, and so knowledgeable! The restaurants recommended were delicious!
There was structure every day and yet plenty of free time, giving us a great balance. Lydia had surprises for us along the way and made sure that each hotel had something special for us. We will definitely use Lydia to plan all of our adventures!
