Wonderful experiences in Vietnam

Just over two weeks seeing Vietnam north to south. We stayed in four hotels and had a two night cruise at Lang Ha Bay.

Rating for tour operator:

This is, we think, our seventh trip with Experience Travel. They discuss our wishes with us, and offer an itinerary, which we then finalise with them. They find excellent hotels which usually have character rather than being the standard international hotel. We feel they care about us and want us to have a great holiday

Hi David,
We definitely do (care about you having an excellent holiday!). We can't tell you how much it means to us that you returned and entrusted us with your travels once more, for the seventh time. So glad you loved Vietnam too.
All the best,
Sam & Team ETG

Rich and relaxing cultural experience in beautiful South India, organised by Experience Travel Group

Fantastic one month trip in Tami Nadu, south Karnataka and Kerala. Lots of cultural experiences, nature and beauty with down time in beautiful hotels, where food and service were excellent.

Rating for tour operator:

As well as arranging for the logistics to work perfectly, Experience Travel offered us multiple special cultural experiences, visits to museums and temples, often off the beaten track. The hotels they chose were universally excellent and often small and personal, with great staff, food and service. The nature walks and immersive experiences added joy to the trip

Dear Simon and Claire,

That's so wonderful to hear! That's exactly where we aim, and Tamil Nadu, Karnataka & Kerala are wonderful travel destinations.

We very much look forward to hearing from you again.

A north to south Laos Experience

We wanted to experience the culture and sights of Laos starting in the far mountainous north. The 3 week + tour was a great insight into the history and fascinating culture of the lao people. We travelled by boat, car and train with professional and knowledgeable english speaking guides and had some unfortgettable experiences. A great trip!

What a wonderful trip

This was an exceptional trip for over five weeks. The skill of the team at producing a first cut of a trip and getting it almost right first time was amazing. The trip covered Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and had a huge variety of experiences for us to enjoy. It was difficult to keep the internal flights to a minimum as we covered a huge range of areas within the countries. We left with some wonderful memories of each of the countries. Just about ...

This was an exceptional trip for over five weeks. The skill of the team at producing a first cut of a trip and getting it almost right first time was amazing. The trip covered Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and had a huge variety of experiences for us to enjoy. It was difficult to keep the internal flights to a minimum as we covered a huge range of areas within the countries. We left with some wonderful memories of each of the countries. Just about the right level for us, with bike rides exchanged for other modes of transport.

Rating for tour operator:

Experience Travel Group were amazing to work with from the very beginning and also as we had to alter a few of the destinations whilst the tour was underway. Amazing in depth knowledge of the countries we wanted to include and simply getting us from A-B and all the logistics made this an exceptional holiday if a lifetime.

Dear Jane & Andrew,

What an incredible testimonial - thank you so much for such a complimentary and thoughtful review. It truly means a great deal to all of us.

Your journey across Indochina was a real adventure, and we’re absolutely delighted to have helped bring it to life. It sounds as though the past six weeks have been filled with some very special memories.

We’re already looking forward to helping you plan your next big adventures in Malaysia, Indonesia and India!

All the very best,

Landscapes and culture of Northern Thailand

We visited Chaing Mai, Chaing Rai, the golden triangle and Koh Jum in the south for a few days relaxing. Whilst in the north we also stayed at Harmony Huailan Home Ecolodge and engaged in activities with the local community which we thoroughly enjoyed. We also visited a Lahu hill_tribe village.
