The travel consultant that knows you, and the world.
Contact Us →The concept borrows from the idea of a personal "black book" - a private collection of exclusive contacts only well-connected insiders know about. In travel, it means handpicked
hotels, restaurants, hidden gems, and local experiences that used to be reserved for the few.
That's exactly what Black Book of Travel is built on. Think of it as your own personal travel consultant — one who truly listens to what you want from a trip, understands your style and preferences, then uses deep insider knowledge to plan every detail for you, from the first
hotel check-in to the last hidden dinner reservation.
Every recommendation is handpicked by experienced travel curators, not algorithms.
Your itinerary is built around your tastes, budget, and interests - no two trips alike.
Transportation,accommodation, dining, and experiences — all planned door to door.
At Black Book of Travel, we are a curated team of devoted travelers who have explored the world with intention.

"Sunny prepared the most perfect Tahitian adventure to celebrate my 70th birthday and our 39th anniversary. We visited 3 islands, getting a taste of the country’s variety. The accommodations were very comfy and in beautiful locations, the restaurant and activity suggestions were perfect. The transfers were smooth and we had a local contact to make sure everything was going as planned. We had a memorable, glorious time and wouldn’t have changed anything. Travelers are in expert hands with Sunny. Super thumbs up 👍🏽"
"I would like to extend my utmost appreciation to Sunny at the Black Book of Travel, she turned my birthday trip into a lifetime experience... Her attention to detail from the moment we departed the plane, until we arrived back home was impeccable. Our experiences were steeped in authenticity, matching us with knowledgeable local guides who could give us the insights that made the trip memorable. We went to places one cannot find by googling. The hotels and restaurants were so wonderful and unique, all with a high level of service. These details made our trip so much more special. And Sunny kept it all with in our budget. I am looking forward to using Black Book of Travel many more times!"
"So far we used Black Book of Travel for the third time. Last one was for a West Coast trip which started from San Diego and ended in Seattle. It was a 23 day road trip which needed to be well organized. Black Book of Travel did an amazing job to make our journey simple and joyful. Restaurant selections in San Diego, LA, Santa Monica and Santa Barbara were spot on. We loved Carmel, a small charming beach town. The Ventana Big Sur Inn was a spectacular place to stay at. Wine tasting recommendations for Napa and Sonoma Valley were perfect as well. After a 2 hour drive from Napa we found ourselves in a blissful stop, recommended by Sunny, where we could enjoy an outdoor fire place and a nice dinner by the Pacific ocean, before heading to Oregon. It was so convenient to know where to go and see, we highly recommend Black Book of Travel. We got to see so many places one can’t find by googling. They are very personal, professional, and detailed oriented."
“As a mother of five, with a husband who is constantly away for work travel, I take my vacation time seriously. For me a vacation is not just about the location, it is also about the experience. Luckily, I have found Black Book of Travel. Black Book of Travel has been able to deliver personalized itineraries for our interests while providing fantastic customer service. They have been able to get us off the beaten path without sacrificing comfort and luxury. Black Book of Travel listened to what we wanted out of a vacation and came up with a travel plan that surpassed our expectations - not just once, but several times, and over several countries. Their knowledge of boutique hotels, outstanding restaurants, and hidden-gem villages make them one of the best. I would highly recommend their services and am happy to give my personal endorsement of our experience with Black Book of Travel."
