Hi, we’re Jody and Steven Bear, and our passion for travel is wonderfully contagious! For more than 30 years, Bear & Bear Travel has given our clients the best of both worlds: the expertise, experience and personalized attention of a boutique agency combined with the international clout of Tzell and Travel Leaders Group—two of the biggest names in travel.
Jody has been on the Condé Nast Traveler Specialist list for 15 years and named in Travel + Leisure’s current 2019 A-List of Top Agents. Constantly traveling the globe to find the latest hotspots and resorts, she counts many hotel directors and restaurant managers as personal friends, which makes it easier for her to secure those hard-to-get reservations for her clients.
When Steven met Jody, a burgeoning travel agent in NYC’s Greenwich Village, it was love (and business) at first sight. With Steven’s contacts in the restaurant and fashion worlds, and Jody‘s travel know-how and passion, the business grew exponentially and the rest is history.
“Bear and Bear have been great friends and Firmdale supporters for many years. Their attention to detail is second to none and they always go that extra mile for their clients. We love working with them.”
