Naylor & Co. — Private Travel Design

Book with the person, backed by the power.

Because she becomes a specialist in you.

There is a quiet assumption in private travel that a recognisable brand on the booking confirmation is the same thing as a recognisable level of care. It isn't.

Naylor & Co. is the private travel practice of Jess Naylor, operating independently within Colletts Travel, a Virtuoso member since 1983.

What changes when you book this way: the person you spoke to in the first conversation is the person who designs the trip, takes the WhatsApp message when something goes sideways at 2am, and remembers, three years later, the only seat your husband will accept on a long-haul flight.

A specialist in you.

What you receive

The same room rate. More of what comes with it.

Luxury hotels publish one rate. What changes is the way the booking is held, briefed, watched, and followed through. The room matters. So does the person the hotel hears from before you arrive.

No markup. Commission is paid by the supplier, not added to your bill.

How it works

Five conversations, in order.

One

Introduction

We talk. About where you've been, what landed, what didn't. If we're a fit, the practice opens its work to you.

Two

Brief

A structured conversation that captures the obvious things, and the ones you didn't know you cared about until I asked.

Three

Design

The itinerary is shaped, iterated, refined. You see options where options matter and clean recommendations where they don't.

Four

Departure

Before you leave: every property briefed, every detail confirmed. Throughout the trip: the kind of background presence that means you rarely need to use it.

Five

Reflection

When you're home, we talk again. What worked, what surprised you, what you'd do differently. That conversation shapes the next journey.

Throughout, the same person remains your point of contact. No handovers. No team. The practice, and you.

About

Jess Naylor founded Naylor & Co. in 2026 after eight years designing private trips for the kind of clients who don't measure travel by the size of the room. They measure it by what's been thought of before they had to ask.

The practice is built on the belief that the right advisor matters more than the right brand, and that what travellers most want, quietly, is to feel known. It is deliberately small. There is a finite number of clients Jess can hold the institutional memory of, and beyond that number the work changes. So the door stays narrow on purpose.

Behind Naylor & Co. sits the global infrastructure of Colletts Travel, Global Travel Collection, and Internova. The relationship is with Jess. The reach is everyone's.

When you're ready

Begin a conversation.

There is no booking system to navigate, no dropdown menu to choose from. Send Jess a few lines about a trip, one in mind, or one you can't quite picture yet, and she will write back, usually within the day.
