Spear’s Review

‘I work with our travellers to bring the world to life in ways they didn’t think were possible,’ Black Tomato’s Tom Pyman tells Spear’s. ‘It’s about taking people deeper.’ 

As a travel expert, Pyman specialises in organising adventures in the Middle East, Latin America and North Africa and makes sure that his HNW clients feel valued, heard and understood. ‘Putting clients at the first and foremost of everything and ensuring that they have an amazing time – that’s a job well done for me,’ he says.

Pyman is just as keen to explore the world himself, which helps to inform his offering to clients. One travel highlight was a Black Tomato trip to Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. ‘I visited after hours, with not a soul in sight other than my guide, and I was handed the keys by the night guard – the literal key to heaven for the ancient Egyptians. I unlocked the Valley of the Kings and set foot alone amongst the tombs.’
