For Elite Travelers, Even the Best Isn’t Always Up to Par
Most people buy a travel guide at a local bookstore before going on a trip. But what do discerning and exclusive travelers, for whom five star hotels are the norm, do?
Many turn to "Nota Bene" for advice -- a members-only destination review service from Great Britain. A 12-month, 10-issue subscription can cost upwards of 650 euros.

EuroVox speaks with "Nota Bene" founder Anthony Lassman.
