Private travel design for Europe & the British Isles
We take the guesswork out of planning your dream trip to Europe & the British Isles.
You have a vision for your trip to Europe or the British Isles, but not knowing which destinations make sense, where to go, what to do, or what’s genuinely worth your time makes planning time-consuming and challenging — especially when everyone’s an expert and there’s an endless scroll of ideas at your fingertips.
Crown & Country’s private travel design offers a friendly, easy, and more personal solution. Established in 2024, we work with American and overseas clients from our UK headquarters tucked into the English countryside between the Cotswolds and London.
With roots in the USA and the British Isles, we don’t just live, work, and play in the places you’re visiting: we understand what you need, want, and expect from your travel experience — from accommodation, dining, lifestyle experiences, and access, to practicalities and logistics. We also have an innate grasp of cultural nuance and an understanding of how specific countries and regions operate — something that simply cannot be acquired by advisors who have only ever been a visitor.
Every journey we design expertly balances lived experience, inside connections, and your personal requirements with our own distinctive blend of European elegance, British taste, and American joie de vivre. The result? More luxury, more authenticity, and a much more personal way to experience the pageantry, romance, history, and lifestyle of the places you’ve dreamed about.
And because Crown & Country is independently owned, we’re free to carefully choose the local partners, suppliers, and specialists we believe are best for you. (Not the other way round.)
Welcome to a more personal way to plan your travel to Europe & the British Isles.
I'm Emma, travel professional, lifestyle maven, food and wine lover, equestrian, and the British-American founder of Crown & Country. I’ve spent a lifetime living on both sides of the Atlantic, and I’m uniquely equipped to help you discover the nuances of Europe and the British Isles in ways no remote advisor, Ai tool, or social media trend can.
And there is so much more.
Artfully matchmaking you with the destinations, stays, and experiences I know will bring your vision to life is at the heart of my approach. After all, I live here. I know these places. I know how precious your travel time is.
I’m on a mission to help you get more from your travel investment than any Instagram trend or crowdsourced itinerary: more luxury, more authenticity, and a far more personalized way to experience the people, places, landscapes and cultures that make you want to return to these regions again and again.
That’s why I treat your journey as a personal invitation into my own home, ensuring every journey is thoughtfully shaped around you and your destination using handpicked partners, on-the-ground access, inside connections — plus the nuances and knowledge that mean the difference between a trip anyone can plan, and a personal journey that unlocks so much more.
Our world is your oyster. Let’s get started.
