You may already have your hometown's most accomplished luxury service providers on call, on staff, on speed-dial or possibly written into your will. That key support team makes your busy life livable and enjoyable. So why rely on anything less when you travel? Elite Traveler's contributing editors around the world unearthed the names of people you need to know locally- including the best private chefs, personal trainers, custom tailors, realtors, private shoppers, guides, ticket brokers, club owners and event planners- to ensure you never miss a step when you find yourself landing on unfamiliar turf. Christopher Tong of My Private Chef has fed Michael J. Fox and Michael Jordan, among others, in his career.
