What we do
For those who value insider connections, Bearleaders curates exclusive experiences with tastemakers and five-star hotels. All our propositions are fully curated, and hosted personally by Michelin-starred chefs, Hoteliers, Artists, Sommeliers, and more: The Bearleaders.
We transform travel- and lifestyle, into an intimate dialogue with the masters of their craft, and insiders of the destination, granting you private access to a world usually kept behind closed doors. All our propositions are not googleable, not offered anywhere else, personal, and exclusively bookable upon request. Besides the fact that Bearleaders has its own platform, we develop propositions for travel- & financial companies, for events, incentives, and group travel.
Meet The Bearleaders
‘Bearleader’ was the nickname for the first travel guides who guided the young nobility in the 17th to 19th centuries, safely across the European continent on a Grand Tour journey.
A Bearleader today is a well-travelled tastemaker: a Michelin-starred chef, designer, hotelier, sommelier, or artist—who opens their doors for you, shares their local knowledge, and offers you a unique experience.
Bearleaders’ Hosted Experiences
A Hosted Experience is an invitation into the world of The Bearleaders—Michelin-star chefs, Artists, Sommeliers, Hoteliers, and more. It’s travel at its most personal.
Explore the destination with them. Often the experience is paired with an exclusive hotel stay. Bookable on request via Bearleaders.
