Agent Information

We are Not in the Guidebooks – Not for the average tourist, because we’re not an ordinary holiday.

We offer authentic, experience-led holidays that connect you deeply with new cultures and immerse you in amazing destinations. The best part? They’re all designed and delivered by those who know these places inside out. Our network of local hosts and partners are the heart of what we do. They meticulously craft every aspect of your journey, from selecting the finest boutique accommodations to curating a diverse range of truly unforgettable activities. This approach allows you to experience a destination in ways you never thought possible, all while traveling sustainably and responsibly.

We’re passionate about creating unique travel experiences that do more than just entertain – they broaden horizons, support local communities, and create lasting memories. We believe in being upfront and honest about what we offer, including acknowledging when things don’t go as planned.

Our trips aren’t for everyone, and we’re proud of that. We cater to those who seek something different, who want to stand out from the crowd and truly engage with the world around them. So, for your next holiday, why settle for just visiting a place when you can truly experience it?

Join our community and unlock a world of travel possibilities that truly aren’t in the guidebooks.

Not just any holiday collection

Not in the Guidebooks offers four distinct holiday collections, each designed to provide unforgettable experiences. Arctic holidays immerse you in the stunning beauty of polar regions. Immersive holidays allow you to fully engage with local cultures and traditions. Special interest getaways cater to passions like painting or cooking. Staycations in unique accommodations offer extraordinary local experiences close to home.

We collaborate closely with local experts to curate exceptional holidays that showcase the authentic essence of each destination. By partnering with residents who know their regions intimately, we create journeys that take you off the beaten path, away from tourist crowds. Our carefully crafted experiences allow you to truly connect with a place, its people, and its hidden gems, ensuring you gain deep, genuine insights into your chosen destination.
