Not In The Guidebooks Avaliações 

I cannot recommend this company enough. Due to no fault of their own one of my trips was cancelled....a double booking at the other end, Carole, Lee and Debbie went above and beyond to ensure we had somewhere to stay, a trip that undoubtably cost considerably more on their part! This is my second booking with NITGB, the team are always highly responsive, helpful and passionate about what they do! Their selection of amazing trips is extensive and there is something to suit everyone. I am very pro sustainability and these guys take this seriously too! This is the future and I will continue to book time and again with this company.

We were recommended to look Not In the Guidebook up via family as we knew they offered a wide variety of authentic, hand selected, curated, experiences offered by local experts. Having made contact with a partner in the Buisness and also the local ambassador for Cape Town, they selected the perfect wine trip we were looking for: Private Wine Tour of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.

This wine tour was a fun filled day and we learned so much about South African wines, how it’s made and most importantly how good it tastes. We visited five different (award winning) vineyards and enjoyed a fabulous day of wine tasting and discoveries in the beautiful Stellenbosch countryside.

We were collected at our apartment in Cape town at 0830AM and whisked away to the beautiful Stellenbosch. We started with champagne tasting (and did a sabre!) and a delicious cheese platter. The day included visiting 5 vineyards for a tasting, a 3-course excellent lunch, and enjoyed the most stunning views of the mountains and vineyards. We were being chauffeured from vineyard to vineyard in a very comfortable car. Our tour guide Cedric was amazing, very knowledgeable about each wineries' product and the history of the vineyard and surrounding area. We also got to choose to what vineyard we wanted to go in the afternoon… plenty of choice because there are more than 180 vineyards in the area.

The whole tour with the wine experience was excellent and we both really enjoyed it. The value was for the price was excellent. Really recommend this tour!

This trip was amazing. My friend and I really wanted to experience parts of Vietnam which weren’t the classic travelling destinations and tourist traps, and this did not disappoint. Your friendly guide drives you quite far north, but gives you the chance to have regular stops and experience some authentic food on the way. Both home-stays are great, with friendly hosts and very luxury accommodation, especially considering that they are in the middle of nowhere. The waterfall is incredible and Ba Be lake is beautiful! The homestay looks directly out over the lake and gives you the must stunning view. This is all rounded off by your guides and hosts who always make you feel comfortable and welcome. If you want to experience a ‘local’ trip and see some stunning parts of northern Vietnam which not many travellers have seen, then this is perfect for you.

It is extremely easy to book and the driver picks you up from your hostel and drops you back to wherever you need to go in Hanoi.

We had a wonderful gin tour of London in a Mini Cooper with a fantastic guide. I’d highly recommend this experience.

I just LOVE the ethos of this company. Responsible, immersive, sustainable tourism - it's the way forward.
