FAQ

A Hosted Experience is an experience without a stay, hosted by a Bearleader: Michelin-star chef, Sommelier, Hotelier etc. This is without a stay included, since it is held during the day.

Bearleaders Travel B.V. is officially accredited by IATA (Travel Industry Designator Service (TIDS) under number 96228801.

A ‘bearleader’ is a well-travelled person with taste, a connaisseur in their own field: Michelin Star Chefs, Artists, Designers, Hoteliers, Owners etc.. They are the insiders of the destination, and your hosts at the destination. Most ‘bearleaders’ are working at our partner hotels, or they are connected to the hotel. The name ‘bear-leader’ was the nickname for the first travel guides in European travel history, during the Grand Tour in the 17th-19th century.

Yes you can. As a matter of fact most of our Hosted Stays & Experiences are perfect for small groups like friends, family, management boards, clients or colleagues.

Yes you can. Bearleaders Hosted Stays & Experiences are not events. They can be booked on any date on request and upon availability of the host and the hotel.

Yes you can. Upon availability of course, but our luxury hotel partners can be flexible to adjust the number of nights, or change something in your itinerary.

Remember we said ‘Unlisted’? Bearleaders Hosted Stays are not offered anywhere publicly. We work very closely with the hotels , since their ambassador becomes a Bearleader. The final booking happens directly with the hotel, and you can also pay directly to the hotel.

On the Hosted Stays, a unique experience is part of your stay, and hosted by a ‘bearleader’. In some cases General Managers, Hoteliers, or Owners are your host. They make sure you will receive a VIP status treatment. He or she, will welcome you personally, and will make sure your stay is carefree. You will receive insider access.

On the Hosted Experiences the chef or the sommelier is your host for the day (or part of the day).

You have to send a request first, because Bearleaders Hosted Stays are unique, curated with care, and exclusively offered by Bearleaders. We want to offer you something unique that nobody has, so therefore we cannot publish them.

You will receive a confirmation directly from the hotel. Your payment is also made directly to the hotel, just like a regular direct booking.

In case the hotel or a partner has to cancel the Hosted Stays or Experience due to unforeseen circumstances, you will be reimbursed according to their cancellation policy.

No, we don’t. Bearleaders doesn’t book your flights or transport. Our hotel partners can arrange a transfer from and to the airport if needed. In some cases this is even included in the packaged itinerary.

It doesn’t matter where you live. Anyone can book Hosted Stays (upon availability), and we will be pleased to assist you with your booking.
