FIND YOURSELF IN THE UNEXPECTED

In a world overflowing with travel inspiration, what's left for a travel advisor to do? If done right, quite a lot.
At Rising Tide Travel, we've made a deliberate choice, we don't present our clients with options. We present them with a vision. One that is researched, refined, and built entirely around who our travelers are and how they travel.

our difference

Experience beyond expectations

Our clients don't need more information. They need us to do the work so everything placed in front of them is already perfect. This is what that looks like in practice.

Lisbon, Portugal

It's Nicholas greeting them at the door of a hotel most travelers never find, tucked just one street off Lisbon's Avenida da Liberdade, with a secret garden, a world-class spa, and a kitchen worthy of the setting. Steps from the energy of the city. Worlds away from its noise.

Tuscany, Italy

It's not another cooking class in Tuscany. It's an invitation into the home of a master chef, where a traditional Italian meal is prepared together, unhurried, personal, and paired with a proper Chianti. The way it has been done for generations.

Dingle, Ireland

It's sharing a pint of Guinness with Sean Daly in Dingle, a former Waterford Crystal master craftsman, now the founder of Dingle Crystal, whose work is presented annually to the President of the United States. Not a scheduled tour. A conversation with someone worth knowing.

Cannes, France

And it's Isabella, the keeper of a small truffle, wine, and gourmet shop on a quiet side street in Cannes. If you know her, and we do, she will lead you through a door and down into a private cellar with three distinct caverns, each one home to the finest small-batch wines, champagnes, and spirits in France. The kind of place that doesn't exist on any list.
