Start the Conversation with Your Clients

Use these 10 questions to create the Luxury Tailor Made Journey that’s just right for your clients.

1. What is your planned budget for this trip? Will you need assistance with booking flights?

2. Who is travelling? If travelling with children, what are their ages?

3. What destination(s) are you considering? Have you visited these before? If so, is there anything you want to make sure we include — or not include — this time?

4. What are your planned travel dates, or may I recommend the best times of year to visit?

5. Are you celebrating a milestone or special occasion? If so, is there anything specific you have in mind to mark the occasion?

6. Tell me about any specific interests of those travelling that we might incorporate into the journey. For example:

▶ Food and wine (e.g., blending your own bubbly in Champagne)

▶ Culture and history (such as giving alms to monks in Southeast Asia or visiting museums, monuments and temples)

▶ Outdoor activities (e.g., climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, biking leisurely through Lucca or kayaking in Alaska)

▶ Wildlife (including spotting the Big Five in Africa, tracking gorillas in Rwanda or seeing orangutans in Borneo)

7. What kinds of dining experiences does your party enjoy (e.g., gourmet/celebrity chefs, farm-to-table, local all the way)? Do you prefer pre-planned or spontaneous dining experiences?

8. What pace and length of sightseeing does your party prefer (full-day or half-day; light walking or extended walking)?

9. What type of hotel accommodation do you prefer (e.g., luxury landmark hotel or smaller boutique property)? Do you prefer suites, deluxe or standard rooms? Please share any special amenities you typically request, such as a view, spa or poolside.

10. Is there anything else we should know about the travellers in your party, such as mobility issues or other restrictions that might affect their enjoyment of the journey? Your answers help us to ensure everyone is comfortable, or to suggest alternate arrangements that might suit you better.

Introducing A&K Private Estates: The Chianti Collection

Restored farmhouses, ancient towers, wine estates and charming manors set in rambling, sun-dappled grounds — Private Estates are the most characterful and desirable country houses in Chianti, chosen by our experts and available in the summer of 2025 exclusively through A&K. Each estate is beautifully designed, with heated pools, outdoor kitchens and a range of state-of-the-art amenities that may include a yoga studio, gym, game room, tennis court and wine cellar.

The Location

Stretching languidly between Florence and Siena, the wine region of Chianti is the most quintessentially Tuscan part of Tuscany. Medieval castles and villages crown the hilltops where winding stone streets are home to tasting rooms, superb restaurants and chic boutiques.

When your clients take over a Private Estate, they’re not just getting the keys to their own secret corner of Tuscany — they’re getting the full A&K Chianti experience: wine tastings and cooking classes, chef-prepared Tuscan welcome and farewell dinners, continental breakfast every day and a fridge stocked according to your wishes before you arrive, along with a dedicated local host who serves as your round-the-clock concierge.

Included With an A&K Private Estate

▶ A case of Tuscan wine and a welcome basket of specialty cheeses, breads and other local treats

▶ Welcome and farewell dinners at the villa prepared by an esteemed local chef

▶ Wine tasting at the villa or in the winery on your estate with an expert from a leading vineyard

▶ A cooking lesson with a local Italian chef

▶ A session at the villa with a professional photographer

▶ Exclusive goodie bags of gifts for children and adults

▶ A dedicated local host who serves as your concierge 24/7

▶ Pre-arrival grocery shopping service

▶ An airport meet-and-greet, as well as private return airport transfers

▶ Breakfast every day

▶ Daily housekeeping
