  • Emma’s knowledge, personal attention, and ability to turn your ideas into an unforgettable experience are exceptional.

    Emma was an absolute delight to work with! She listened carefully to our ideas then expanded on them, refining everything into the perfect way for us to experience Ireland—its people, its beauty, its history, and the overall character and spirit of this remarkable country.

  • Our vague idea of a trip to see some gardens in England became a dream trip.

    A visit to Kew Gardens, the once-in-a-lifetime experience of Chelsea Flower Show, driving the beautiful English countryside and touring historic castles, estates, and gardens. Emma used her local knowledge and experiences to make this trip special and supported us while we were in the country. Crown and Country will hear from us again.

  • Emma was a godsend when I was planning a solo walking tour along England’s southwest coast.

    Everything was spot on. I described what I wanted and she arranged the perfect trip. I can’t wait to come back to the UK, and I’ll be sure to have Emma plan it again.

  • The hotels, dinners and experiences Emma curated were impeccable.

    Emma was the consummate travel consultant for our family trip to the Irish Wild Atlantic Way and Dublin. The guides she lined up for us were all fantastic. Every place we stayed was a wonderful, unique experience. I recommend Crown & Country to anyone planning a trip to the UK, Ireland or Europe.
