BEST FAMILY HOLIDAY EVER
We have just returned from a two-week trip to Sri Lanka. A mixture of beach, temples, wild life, quiet and fun.

Hi Hayley
Thank you for your lovely comments - I am so pleased to hear that you had such a wonderful family holiday in Sri Lanka. Very much looking forward to helping plan your next big family trip to Cambodia..!

Awesome from the first conversation with ETG to saying goodbye to our guide
A mum and 17 year old son holidaying together isn’t always easy. ETG built a great itinerary and sent the best guide we could have wished for

Dear Graham,
Wonderful to hear you had a brilliant time. We're so proud of our team of chauffeur-guides and agree - they make the holiday as you say. We'll be sure to pass on your comments.
Please do recommend us (and Sri Lanka) to others. For yourself, we'd love to look at a trip in future to somewhere else in Asia!

A truly memorable Sri Lankan family experience
As a family of four (children aged 9 & 11) we travelled to Sri Lanka for the first time with little expectation but wow what a truly superb country to visit as a family. The Sri Lankan people are so kind & couldn't do enough for us. The whole experience from booking, flying, arriving at the airport, our driver, accomodation, excursions and even the journey home was magical and Experience Travel Group couldn't have done a better job in putting ...

Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel Group really did put together a superb itinerary that met and far exceeded our expectations and requirements.
Dear Fiona & Family,
What a wonderful review - we hope people will be able to visit again as a family very soon.

Sri Lankan adventure making memories!
A 10 day mini tour with small children in tow; dipping our toes into family adventures a little further afield! A train journey from Columbo towards galle kicked off the holiday... onto Ahangama to the beautiful Cantaloupe house.... Lalu’s hideaway and a visit to Ude Walalwa nation park... then to the beautiful Nisala Arana for a few days of r and r. Along the way, we experienced great trips, lovely food, exciting encounters with wildlife ...

Family holiday to satisfy the history and nature lovers... all boxes were ticked!
We had 14 days in Sri Lanka - our first visit to this country. We managed to see Religious festivals involving huge numbers of elephants, fire jugglers and temple dancers , climb an ancient rock fortress that had historically been guarded by quick sand and crocodile moats, see the sacred tree that had been grown from Buddha's tree of enlightenment, encounter Slender Loris in eco hotels and avoid their crocodiles. We slept under canvas and ...
We had 14 days in Sri Lanka - our first visit to this country. We managed to see Religious festivals involving huge numbers of elephants, fire jugglers and temple dancers , climb an ancient rock fortress that had historically been guarded by quick sand and crocodile moats, see the sacred tree that had been grown from Buddha's tree of enlightenment, encounter Slender Loris in eco hotels and avoid their crocodiles. We slept under canvas and were fortunate to encounter 8 leopards over the course of 2 days tracking. We sampled curries to make you swoon and first class international menus. Finally we rested near Galle by the sea, visited traditional mask making factories and turtle hatcheries before soaking up the last of our summer sun...
Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel did all we asked of them. They changed routes to optimize our experience and the hotels they guided us towards showed how well they had understood our brief.
Dear Fiona,
Thank you very much for taking the time to post this brilliant review. So pleased to hear you had a fantastic time too.
Please do let others know about what we offer - we love word of mouth referrals and of course, we'd love to hear from you again in the future.

Incredible family holiday in Sri Lanka flawlessly organised
We had an absolutely incredible family holiday in Sri Lanka. The holiday was flawlessly organised by Becky at Experience Travel. Sri Lanka was an incredible destination and the variety on offer is fantastic. From the different types of accommodation, activities, scenery, wildlife, vegetation, food, experiences ...

We had an absolutely incredible family holiday in Sri Lanka. The holiday was flawlessly organised by Becky at Experience Travel. Sri Lanka was an incredible destination and the variety on offer is fantastic. From the different types of accommodation, activities, scenery, wildlife, vegetation, food, experiences ... We particularly appreciated our driver-guides local knowledge which meant we visited places and enjoyed road side snacks we may not have found on our own. In addition, it was evident that Experience Travel supported local businesses and people and really did promote sustainable and eco tourism. There was so much to do and see we really could have stayed longer.
Rating for tour operator:Experience Travel were amazing. Becky really understood our family needs and budget and created a holiday that far exceeded our expectations. Everything was organised to an incredibly high level and the little thoughtful details were hugely appreciated such as snacks in the van, pre-stamped postcards, maps, amazing photos roadside stops for snacks and drinks, birthday cake on my son's burthday birthday to name just a few! The local driver-guide (Chandana) was an excellent driver and knowledgeable guide. We learnt so much from him. The activities and experiences ETG organised for us were interesting and really gave us a flavour into the real Sri Lanka. Absolutely everything ran like clockwork but we felt able to be flexible too. I would definitely use Experience Travel again and recommend them 100%. Truly excellent.
Hi Anneke,
Thanks for your kind words, I am thrilled you and your family had such a good time in Sri Lanka. Chandana will be pleased as well that you enjoyed your time with him, I will pass this on. Thanks as well for sharing your son's travel journal with us- we loved hearing all about your adventures through his eyes! Sounds like he really fell in love with the island!
Looking forward to helping you on your next trip,
Becky
lots to see and do in Sri Lanka
15 days split between touring the hill county and cultural triangle and having a nice break on a luxury resort on golden white sands

Rating for tour operator:ETG planned our holiday so well and really captured what we wanted in a holiday to suit a family with 3 children aged 15 to 20. when there we had a guide/driver with us and there knowledge of the island was second to none.
