A lovely holiday experience around Thailand

We visited Thailand, had some lovely days in Bangkok and then moved to Kanchanaburi. Where we saw Bridge over River Kwai, death railway, stayed on River Kwai Float House, kayaked and saw elephants. Then we flew to Krabi and stayed in Ko Yao Island Resort for some Rest and relaxation which was great.

Fantastic location (Oman) wonderful scenery and itinerary

We travelled to two locations in Oman, the mountain area in Jabal al Akhtar and Muscat. The hotels in both locations were fantastic. We had a guide and driver who took us to some wonderful locations to see old villages, forts, castles and mosques. We saw some beautiful scenery and wildlife and ate some amazing food

Rating for tour operator:

Pre-departure the organisation was great and very well communicated. We were sent an itinerary with contact details of on ground companies which were incorrect so was very difficult to speak to the right people once we had arrived.

Hi Rachel

We're delighted you had such an amazing honeymoon. Thanks very much for sharing your feedback over the phone too and taking the time. As we discussed we have changed the one number in the phone number that was in-correct - thanks for pointing it out.

All the best and hope to hear from you again soon.

Rating for tour operator:

ETG was excellent in booking flights, hotels, guides, drivers and activities. They chose high quality hotels and activities, many of which actively work to support community and environmental issues; their tipping policy ensured people were well paid, without us worrying about how much to give; they were very knowledgeable about the countries; their customer service throughout was fantastic. Their efforts to support us to use fewer plastic bottles during the trip is also commendable.

Perfect Honeymoon

ETG provided the perfect honeymoon, travelling around Sri Lanka and then relaxing in the Maldives. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect trip.

Rating for tour operator:

Holly made everything so easy for us. She understood what we wanted from the trip and pulled together a really great agenda, rearranging all sorts of logistics to make sure we could fit in everything we wanted to do. Holly also quickly reacted to our flight cancellations and rearranged things as needed without us ever knowing there was a problem! Really great service.

Hi Jenny & Stephen

What lovely feedback - thanks so much for sharing :) It was a pleasure putting together such an exciting honeymoon for you both, and it's great to hear that it all ran seamlessly. It sounds like your guide at Danum Valley, Ali, really made your time here special, which is excellent to hear.

Hoping we can help you with another holiday to Asia in the future.
