Black Tomato

Black Tomato We are Black Tomato and we exist for one simple purpose — to give you the best travel experiences of your life.

Voted a top 10 Best Tour Operator in the Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2025. Black Tomato is an award winning tailored travel company that specialises in putting together exceptional, boundary-pushing trips around the globe. We're centered around the belief that people need to make the most of their precious time-off and our travel experts at Black Tomato take pride in arranging unique and

personalised experiences that reflect this. The business started as the brainchild of three friends in their late twenties who left the corporate world to spend their days working on what they loved – travel. These three friends, Tom Marchant, James Merrett and Matt Smith, had spent many years travelling in previous jobs, living in Moscow, Johannesburg and everywhere in-between. Out of these experiences and a love for travel, the idea for Black Tomato was born. Nearly a decade later, Black Tomato has grown into a renowned travel brand with offices in London and New York and clients based all over the world.

Our recent team trip to Portugal was made even more meaningful by the chance to give back together.

At Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, we spent the day with SOMA Surf and AMOS working alongside an inspiring group of young women on real-world hospitality challenges, sharing ideas and learning from one another.

Since 2020, SOMA has supported 300+ girls through surf therapy, education and mentorship, while their supporting social business, AMOS, is creating long-term impact through surf, tourism and hospitality.

It was a moment not just to experience something new, but to engage with a purpose-led initiative building confidence, resilience and opportunity for young women connected to Portugal’s wider communities as well as a reminder of the role we can play in shaping how people feel through meaningful experiences.

Three reasons Chile's Atacama Desert should be the destination for your next family adventure:

1. From lunar valleys to electric blue lagoons, the Atacama strips everything back to something raw, otherworldly and like nowhere else on earth.

2. The experiences you get here go beyond the expected. Hot-air balloons at sunrise, stargazing alongside astronomers, and sleeping under the clearest night skies imaginable.

3. Endless horizons, total silence, and the kind of space that shifts how you see the world long after you leave.

You’re not just planning a family vacation.
You’re shaping how your children see the world.

It’s been long proven that children who are exposed to new cultures and environments develop stronger empathy, adaptability, and self-confidence. They become more curious, more open, and more willing to explore what’s possible.

But it’s not just about where they go. It’s about what they’re exposed to while they’re there.
The people they meet.
The questions they’re inspired to ask.
The doors that are opened to them.

Footsteps is about creating those moments intentionally. Giving young minds access to experiences that help them discover what moves them and where they might go next.

Because their future isn’t something that starts later.
It’s already taking shape.

What’s a moment from your childhood that stayed with you?
