What makes us different
Built on the core values of excellence & authenticity, The Tailor is Australia’s premier luxury travel specialist hand-crafting holidays since 1998.
Experience, knowledge and innovation, these are the qualities that have driven The Tailor to become the leader in luxury travel experiences around Australia. Lead by founder Drew Kluska, we are continually seeking new ways to push the boundaries of luxury travel.
We have published a book showcasing the best luxe experiences around Australia, developed our own film department, designed travel experiences that push the envelope of luxury travel within Australia.
Tailored journeys, peace of mind and fully-hosted experiences, this is the core of what we offer discerning clients at The Tailor. We strive to offer our guests a complete personalised experience, from the beginning of their Australian journey to the end.
Our Travel Designers are experienced, knowledgeable and well-travelled, and know exactly how to create the perfect itinerary. We note every detail about our clients; style of travel, experience levels, whether a solo traveller, family or couple, age of children, and utilise this knowledge to individually tailor a journey for each select traveller.
Our leading position in the Australian travel industry has allowed The Tailor to create strong relationships with a number of incredible experience providers around the country.
In turn, this has allowed The Tailor access to a range of travel experiences that are 100% exclusive to us. These cannot be found online and cannot be booked by anyone else, such as; a Blue Mountains Adventure with James Castrission, Angorichina Station, Arnhem Land Cultural Safari, R.M.Williams private experience and Hutton Vale Farm.
Authentic travel, leaving minimal environmental and cultural impacts is what we strive for at The Tailor. Our dedication to ensuring the continued sustainability of people and place is paramount, and we understand fully that to enjoy luxury travel within Australia, we must first take responsibility in protecting our people and the environment.
We seek to provide real experiences within each destination, respecting the authenticity of the culture, location and local people of the region. We take you beyond the average tourist experience, inviting you to meet the locals and discover the hotspots, but from the local’s perspectives.
Our reputation and relationships built throughout the Australian travel community are exemplary and have grown from strength to strength over the past two decades.
Our strong connections with experienced providers within the industry allows our clients to receive the VIP treatment every time they travel under The Tailor name; receive the best guides available for your tour, additional amenities at your accommodation and enjoy outstanding private experiences away from other guests. We have built a network of strong relationships so that our travellers receive incredible experiences.
Whilst we know that we are the best provider of Luxury Travel within Australia, we also have the accolades to prove it. We have received awards from Conde Nast, PURE, Luxperience, National geographic and Traveller Made. To view our full list of awards, please click here.
‘Discover’ Australia as a local, not as a tourist
Our dedicated Travel Designers are skilful in meeting any number of requirements, ideas, timeframes and making the impossible possible through our vast networks and connections.

We take care of your trip down to the very last detail ensuring that you can benefit from our unwavering commitment to personalised service and exclusive experiences that only we offer.
Don’t just take our word for it
As pioneers in Australian five-star luxury and experiential travel, we have the accolades to prove our expertise. The Tailor and our Founder and Managing Director, Drew Kluska, have been recognised with prestigious awards, showcasing our dedication to crafting exceptional journeys across Australia.
The Tailor is built top-to-tail around access, not packages. Its 'Tailor Exclusives' are experiences 100% exclusive to the company and impossible to book online or through anyone else: a Blue Mountains adventure with two-time Guinness World Record holder James Castrission, a private stay at Angorichina Station, an Arnhem Land Cultural Safari, a private R.M.Williams experience, and Hutton Vale Farm among them. Two decades of industry relationships also mean clients get the best available guides and private experiences away from other guests, with the company taking on only a limited number of journeys each year to protect that access.
The Tailor's own positioning makes the case for a specialist model: rather than a broad package operator, it is built around deep, exclusive local relationships that unlock experiences and access unavailable elsewhere, and around a single dedicated Travel Designer who tailors the trip to the traveller rather than fitting them into a fixed itinerary. The page frames this as a deliberate trade-off: fewer journeys taken on each year, in exchange for a more personalised, authentic and responsible level of service. This is a general, self-descriptive answer; the page does not name or compare against specific competitors.
Yes, private aircraft and yacht charter are recurring elements of The Tailor's journeys, not one-off add-ons. Examples include a 17-day itinerary built around private Pilatus PC-12 charter flights between destinations, a privately chartered Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft for an outback South Australia expedition, a month-long itinerary using private aircraft to link eight remote destinations, and multi-week private yacht and superyacht charters through Tasmania, the Kimberley and Western Australia's coast, including an 11-night itinerary aboard a 115ft superyacht.
The Tailor works with private travellers and families, taking on a limited number of journeys each year so each one has a Senior Travel Designer's full attention. That suits families wanting exclusive use properties, private guides and aircraft, discretion about their movements, and an itinerary paced for a group spanning teenagers to grandparents. Journeys generally start around AUD$1,500 per person per day for accommodation, touring and transfers, so a multi-week family journey sits comfortably into six figures.
