won’t cut it. Here’s
who to call when
only a manor in the
Cotswolds or a
beachfront mansion
on St. Barts will do

Eleanor Flagler Hardy of the Society of International
Railway Travelers knows the best luxury trains to
book, like the Eastern & Oriental Express, which runs
between Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand

So you want to do a
scavenger hunt in the
Boboli Gardens?
Jack Ezon of Embark
Beyond is your man.
Whatever curveball
you hurl at him—a
barbecue on a private
island in the British
Virgin Islands, a pop-up
nightclub in the middle
of the Agafay Desert in
Morocco—he’ll knock
it out of the park.
